MP appeals for electricity sub-station for Nkwanta
Nkwanta, July 25, Ghanadot/GNA - Mr Gershon Gbediame, Member
of Parliament for Nkwanta South, has appealed to government
to consider building an electricity sub-station at Nkwanta
to adequately serve the northern part of the Volta Region.
He said the sub-station at Kpeve in the South Dayi District
that serves Kpando, Hohoe, Jasikan, Kadjebi, Nkwanta, Krachi
East and Krachi West districts was inadequate.
Mr Gbediame, who spoke to the Ghana News Agency in an
interview, said a second sub-station would decentralize
power, stabilize energy and reduce pressure on the Kpeve
sub-station.
He appealed to government to connect Bonakye to the national
electricity grid.
Mr Gbediame said Volta River Authority was extending power
from the Northern Region through Damanko and this terminates
at Bonakye.
Electricity Company of Ghana is also providing power up to
Nkwnata, creating a missing link between Nyanbong, Bonakye
and Nkwanta.
He commended World Vision International, Community Water and
Sanitation Agency (CWSA), Women In Development, Hunger and
Poverty Foundation, Ghana Education Project (GEP) for their
efforts at healthcare delivery, water and sanitation
provision, education infrastructure, income generation and
skills training.
Mr Gbediame urged traditional authorities to make land
available for development projects.
He called for marketing of the varied tourists sites of the
area including the Kyabobo National Park and said its
potential could be harnessed for socio-economic development
and wealth creation.
