The Member of Parliament for the Bolgatanga Central Constituency, Isaac Adongo, has inspected several completed projects in Sumbrungu.
These facilities include a kindergarten block and maternity blocks at Anateem, a police station, and a culvert at Amogrebisi. Other facilities inspected by the MP include grinding mills. He has constructed 15 of these in Sumbrungu alone, with others distributed across the constituency.
Mr. Adongo has also constructed 10 boreholes in the Sumbrungu area and hopes to deliver a total of 105 by the end of his third term.
Speaking to the media on the first day of a four-day project inspection program, the outspoken MP noted that he has rented two houses for medical doctors posted to the Bolgatanga Municipality, with the intention of building permanent accommodation for doctors serving in the constituency.
“You recall that recently the Health Minister came he and he called me to tell about doctors who were posted here but did not have accommodation and were threatening to go back. I have subsequently, rented two houses for them but in future, I intend to build permanent structures to accommodate doctors.”
In the area of agriculture, the MP, who is serving his third term, has announced plans to launch a grassroots integrated agricultural project. This initiative will include the provision of five tractors for farming and fingerlings for aquaculture. “I also have a program this year to launch a grassroots integrated agricultural project. That project stems from the challenges we have had with vegetable farming and aquaculture in Bolga. We will be building cages and we will provide the fingerlings and feed. I also intend to bring five tractors to farm and prepare the farms of poor farmers in the constituency.” He stated.
He explained that the interventions in various communities within the constituency are demand-driven, including the kindergarten and maternity blocks at Anateem.
According to the MP, he does not make promises; rather, he facilitates development based on the needs of the people in the constituency.
“The truth is that, I don’t promise. I get them to tell me what they want and I work towards resolving what the issues are. He at Anateem, they mentioned the KG and Maternity block and I brought contractors and gave them three months and these have been completed and it left furnishing them to for utilization.”
