Nandom, Ghana – The NDC parliamentary candidate for the Nandom Constituency, Dr. Richard Kuuire has started the drilling of two boreholes at Guo Hayoree and Monyupelle communities today.
A brief whatsApp message sent to SavannahNewsOnline.Com by the NDC candidate a while ago, said “the good people of Guo Hayoree and Monyupelle had been struggling to get good water to drink hence his decision to respond to their need for water”.
He assured the good people of Nandom that, under his administration as MP, every community would get their fair share of development saying “although I’m not yet your MP I am providing you water out of my own resources. This means that I would do more for you when you vote for me to represent you in parliament. The NDC government under John Mahama would do more for you when you vote for the NDC on December 7”.
