The Member of Parliament for Kumawu Constituency, Hon. Ernest Yaw Anim, has donated and distributed 375 streetlights and 6,250 household bulbs to all 25 Electoral Areas in the Kumawu Constituency.
This massive intervention forms part of the MP’s “Let There Be Light – Kumawu Must Shine” initiative which is aimed at improving security, enhancing economic activities, and improving lighting conditions for constituents.
BREAKDOWN OF THE DONATION:
375 Streetlights: They were distributed to all 25 Electoral Areas to be installed at markets, lorry stations, dark spots, main streets, and public gathering areas. Each Electoral Area received 15 streetlights.
6,250 Household Bulbs: These were distributed to support homes that have been without light due to faulty or expired bulbs. Each Electoral Area received 250 bulbs to support vulnerable households.
Speaking during the distribution exercise, Hon. Ernest Yaw Anim stated that security and visibility remain key to development and progress to every community.
“Our mothers go to the market very early in the morning and return late in the evening. Our children walk to and from school. Without light, they are not safe. I have therefore taken it upon myself to ensure that every corner of Kumawu is lit. This is not just about light, it is about security, dignity and economic empowerment,” he said.
He noted that the installation of the streetlights will immediately help reduce petty theft, improve night trading at the Kumawu Market Square and other markets across the constituency, and make the constituency safer us all.
Beneficiaries and Assembly Members who received the items on behalf of their Electoral Areas expressed profound gratitude to the MP for his continuous support and responsiveness to the needs of the people.
Hon. Anim reiterated his commitment to continue to work to address the basic needs of his constituents and called on all to support in maintaining the lights for the benefit of all.
Kumawu must shine!, he concluded.
