MP Restores Water Supply to Saltpond Municipality After Nine-Month Crisis
What happened
The Member of Parliament for Mfantseman, Dr Ebenezer Prince Kojo Arhin, intervened to restore water supply to Saltpond municipality, ending a crisis that had lasted nearly nine months. The issue stemmed from a breakdown at the Baifikrom Water Works, caused by heavy siltation of the river source and an old, weak pumping machine. This lack of running water affected the Saltpond Municipal Hospital, a major referral center for Mfantseman.
