Member of Parliament (MP) for the Damongo Constituency and Minister of Lands and Natural Resources Hon. Samuel Abu Jinapor has assured the people of the Damongo of portable drinking water since that will be his biggest achievement as the MP for the area.

Hon Jinapor said he has seen for himself how the inhabitants of the Damongo are suffering for water and will make sure work on the Damongo water project is done at a faster rate.

He disclosed that feasibility studies and mapping have been completed and by March 2021, pipe laying will commence.

Hon Jinapor said the perennial water shortage in Damongo gives him sleepless nights and that he is working around the corner to make sure that becomes a thing of the past.
