Ohawu: Mr Eric Edem Agbana, the Member of Parliament for Ketu North, has joined the chiefs and people of Ohawu to commission two major sanitation facilities, aimed at improving hygiene and public health in the area. The newly inaugurated projects include 16-seater and 10-seater Water Closet (WC) toilet facilities respectively for the Ohawu and Amanu communities.
According to Ghana News Agency, each facility comes with a mechanised borehole and a 9,000-litre capacity water tank, ensuring a sustainable water supply for proper sanitation. The projects were fully funded by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, whose support was described as a remarkable act of social responsibility and generosity.
At the commissioning ceremony, Mr Agbana commended the Church for its timely intervention and encouraged residents to adopt a strong culture of maintenance to preserve the facilities for long-term use. He further urged community members to take a forward-thinking approach by including toilet facilities in all new homes, which he said would help reduce pressure on public infrastructure while promoting dignity and healthier living conditions.
The MP also praised Togbui Kordor III, the Chief of Ohawu, and his elders for their continued leadership and commitment to the community's development. 'I am deeply grateful to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for this invaluable support. With partners like these, we are confident that many more developmental needs of our people will be addressed,' Mr Agbana said.
Mr Benjamin Ofori, the District President of the Church in Ho, called for a collective responsibility to care for the projects to ensure their lasting benefit to the community. Togbui Kordor, on behalf of the chiefs and people of Ohawu and Amanu, thanked the Church for its benevolence and vision, saying these projects marked a major milestone in their community's development and would greatly improve the health and well-being of the people. He called on all residents to celebrate the achievement and renew their commitment to the progress and prosperity of Ohawu and Amanu.
