The MP during the commissioning said he was determined to help the health authorities to tackle water-borne diseases in the area.
“During my campaign, one of the major challenges which caught my attention was the lack of potable water in these communities. Some even walk for miles before getting access to water," he noted.
According to him, he promised to provide 17 boreholes, with about 10 mechanised ones.
Five (5) has been made ready for commissioning with the others to follow next week, the communities with completed water source include; Bomene, Woraso, Atabuorso and Panhosu.

Alongside the commissioning was the provision of fertiliser for farmers in the entire constituency to aid their farming activities.
The beneficiary Communities as well as the others all received 20 bags of fertilizer each as support for their farming work. One Thousand (1200) bags of fertilizer is earmarked for distribution in the first phase of the program.
