FIVE dams in the Bawku West District in the Upper East Region are to be rehabilitated under the 2007 Northern Floods Rehabilitation Project.
They are the Boya Kpalsako, Yarigu, Goziesi, Sakom and Sapelliga dams.
The District Chief Executive (DCE), Mr Desmond Bugbilla, announced this at the assembly’s second ordinary meeting this year at Zebilla, the district capital.
He said work on the project, which had already been advertised, would soon commence to bring relief to the people.
Mr Bugbilla said in addition to the dams’ rehabilitation, 11 boreholes and 17 hand-dug wells had been awarded on contract for disinfection and rehabilitation.
He was happy about the rapid development of the area, which he attributed to the hard work and dedication of the assembly members and the decentralised departments.
The DCE also commended the government for providing Bawku West District with its fair share of development projects.
According to him, two projects had been approved for execution in the district under the second phase of the sixth European Union Micro-Projects Programme.
He said the projects were the construction of a three-unit classroom block with office, store and toilet facilities at Yelwoko and a teachers’ quarters at Kpantarigu.
He advised assembly members of the beneficiary communities to impress upon their people to co-operate with the contractors undertaking the projects to ensure their early completion.
The Presiding Member of the assembly, Very Reverend (Dr) Jacob Ayeebo, said all development projects being undertaken in the area were progressing steadily due to the practical support offered by the entire membership of the assembly.
"Development, as we all know, is a co-operative work and, for that reason, let us continue to pursue the many opportunities lying ahead," he said.
The Very Rev. Ayeebo called on his colleague Assembly members to continue with their vision to build a district rooted in peace and reconciliation, justice and support for the poor and vulnerable in society.
The Member of Parliament (MP) for the area, Mr John Ndebugre, entreated all and sundry to “let us debate issues and not hurl insults at each other," he stressed.
