Dambai (O/R) Aug 9, GNA – Mr Solomon Kuyon, the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Krachi Nchumuru Constituency, has secured and delivered a new transformer to Zongo Macheri in the Oti Region, to restore electricity supply to the community.
The intervention followed the breakdown of the community’s transformer on July 19, which resulted in a prolonged power outage and disrupted domestic activities, businesses, and other essential services.
Following appeals from residents, Mr Kuyon facilitated the sourcing of a replacement transformer from Tamale and ensured its transportation to Zongo Macheri for installation.
The MP also personally facilitated the process and bore the cost of transporting and installing the transformer as part of efforts to ensure that electricity was restored to the affected community without further delay.
Madam Rebecca Nayo, a provision seller and other residents said the power outage had placed considerable strain on households and businesses, particularly those whose livelihoods depended on electricity.
They expressed appreciation to Mr Kuyon for responding promptly to the situation and for taking steps to address the challenge.
The residents said the intervention would help restore normal economic and social activities in the community and reduce the difficulties associated with the prolonged power outage.
They appealed for continued attention to the electricity infrastructure in the area to minimise frequent disruptions and ensure reliable power supply to households and businesses.
Mr Kuyon’s intervention adds efforts to address basic infrastructure needs within the Krachi Nchumuru Constituency and improve access to essential services for residents.
The replacement of the transformer is expected to restore electricity supply to Zongo Macheri and enable residents and businesses to resume their normal activities.
The development also highlights the importance of collaboration between community members, local authorities and their representatives in addressing urgent infrastructure challenges at the grassroots level.
