Story: Jasmine Arku
The Government of Japan has signed a grant contract of US$ 103,481 with the Sunyani West District Assembly under the Japanese Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects (GGHSP) scheme.
The grant would be used to construct eight spring water tanks, each with hand pumps in eight communities in the Sunyani West District Assembly for the Project for Protectioin of Spring Water for Community Water Resources in the Sunyani West District.
The towns which would benefit from the project are Obiri Yeboah, Beposo Away, Nkonsia, Ndwabensua, New Town, Gyasee No 1, Gyasee No2 and Canada.
The Deputy Head of Mission at the Embassy of Japan, Hisanobu Mochizuki, signed the contract on behalf of the Japanese government.
He said it was estimated that over 22,600 inhabitants would benefit from the project in order to access potable water for their daily consumption since several communities in the Sunyani West District relied on ground water such as springs as their main source of water for household activities.
Mr Mochizuki added that it was necessary to safeguard the spring water resources since they were susceptible to pollution therefore making them unwholesome for human consumption.
The District Chief Executive of the Sunyani West District Assembly, Mr Kwadwo Osei-Asibey, who signed the contract on behalf of the assembly said the agreement was in fulfilment of an initial memorandum of understanding that was signed between the District and the Japanese Embassy in 2009 to solve the perenial water problem facing the various communities in the District.
He therefore pledged to ensure that work was done assiduously to ensure th smooth implementation of the project.
Present at the signing ceremony were the Chiraahene, Nana Birimah Minta Afari II, Dompemhene of Odumase, Nana Adubodibi Amankwah and Nsuatrehene, Nana Amankwaa Appiah.
