Even before the electorate of the Nandom Constituency vote for him to
represent them in Ghana’s parliament, Dr. Richard Kuuire of the National
Democratic Congress (NDC), has so far sank 32 new boreholes in 23 different
communities.
He has also repaired 4 other existing
boreholes that broke down in 3 different communities in the Nandom Constituency.
Dr. Kuuire who spoke to Savannahnews
shortly after handing over the projects at their different locations in Nandom,
said the initiative was in fulfilment of promises he made to constituents prior
to being elected the parliamentary aspirant for the Nandom Constituency.
“Considering the number of hours our mothers, sisters
and particularly school children spend in searching for water on daily basis, I
decided to end the problem of insufficient water even before I am voted to
represent my people in parliament come December 7.
“Some other areas earmarked for provision of boreholes
could not be reached because of flooding. They will be assisted later. I have
in collaboration with the District Assembly secured another set of boreholes....over
10...which will also be constructed by September”, he promised.
Additionally, the former Director-General of the Ghana
Prisons Service also announced the extension of electricity to 7 different
communities. They include Tom, Zimuopare, Nabugangn,
Naapaal, Ko-vaarpuo, Nandomle and Betaglu.
“In addition to electricity and water, I am also
building basic schools in certain communities where they lack such amenities. My
plan for the education sector is quite strategic and the sector will get the
needed boost.

“More textbooks for effective teaching and learning
were received through my efforts. The District Education Directorate is in
touch and we are exploring more opportunities to help boost education in
Nandom. An Education Fund for the needy but brilliant students particularly the
girl child is envisaged”, Dr. Kuuire revealed.
Dr.
Kuuire further noted that he was currently lobbying
the Ministry of Roads and Highways to improve upon the road network in the Nandom
area especially the Lawra-Nandom-Hamile road.
He thanked citizens, both home and abroad, who were
contributing in diverse ways to enable him execute the projects. “I must
acknowledge that, I wouldn't have been able to get these projects to my
constituents without the support of well-meaning Nandome in Ghana and the
diaspora and I thank them so much for their continuous support towards the
development of our homeland Nandom”.
He urged all his supporters to
refrain from acts of violence. “I want to let you all know that I am still very
much committed to conducting my campaign in the most peaceful and civil manner”,
he maintained.
Meanwhile, Dr. Richard Kuuire appealed to the electorate
to vote massively for him and President John Dramani Mahama on December 7 to
enable him and the next NDC government bring more development projects to them.
