Narrating the case to the court, the Prosecutor, Chief Inspector Martin Quarshie said, on the 16^th of this month [January], the NPP conducted their constituency elections to elect polling station executives. The complainant, Mrs. Aku-sika was assigned to preside over the exercise.

While at post-exercise, she said her attention was drawn to claims on social media that she wasn’t in the constituency.

In an attempt to discount the claims, the complainant’s secretary took a picture of her in a hotel room purportedly drafting an itinerary for the exercise in the company of others including her driver and the Constituency Youth organizer, and sent it some WhatsApp platforms.

Dr. Prince Amuzu’s Aide, who was seen spearheading the falsehoods upon seeing the picture of the complainant and the party youth organizer together, clandestinely copied it and further spread on other social media platforms including Facebook with an article that suggested the complainant and the youth organizer were into an amorous relationship.

Mrs. Nkansah averred that the publications by the 31-year-old man is a threat to her family as a responsible mother, and exposes her reputation to public ridicule considering her role as a senior member of the NPP in the region.

She subsequently reported the case to the police. The accused person at the court presided over by her Worship, Grace Osei, pleaded guilty to the offence and apologized.

He was thus fined an amount of GHc 2,400.

Some of the beneficiary communities include Agormor, Ave-Avevi, Kpevi, Avevoe, Atsinuve and Buvikope, among others.

The founder of the NGO Dr Donald Senanu Agumenu, announced this when he provided a water storage facility to the Avevoe community in the Akatsi North.

[contextly_sidebar id=”62tNxanHXFadaU0WL0lYfP1qzDWMIMGT”]Dr Agumenu said the NGO had drilled a borehole for the Avevoe community but realised the water was contaminated and decided to provide the storage facility to enable them to connect water from Agormor to serve the community.

He said samples of the contaminated water would be sent to the laboratory to determine the cause of the problem.

According to the Dr Agumenu, during the team’s visit to the Avevoe community, an old woman asked him: “my son what sins have we committed to be denied clean water ever since I was born?”

Dr Agumenu said he was inspired by the woman’s statement to embark on the project because the Akatsi North communities were faced with serious water challenges, which he believed was a basic necessity for human survival.

He said the communities relied on water from the stream for their cooking and drinking, which posed health concerns and called on the authorities to be proactive and give them the needed attention.

He added that the NGO was established to champion the provision of quality water in rural Africa, adding that in three years, the organisation’s vision was to drill 10,000 boreholes on the continent.

Dr Agumenu said their outfit was poised to meet the target of the Sustainable Development Goal six – access to safe water and sanitation and sound management of freshwater ecosystems – which the NGO believed were essential to human health, environmental sustainability and economic prosperity.

Togbe Adelakpui III, the Chief of Avevoe, Akatsi North District, expressed gratitude to the management of the organisation for assisting the community to solve its water challenges.

According to the Chief, the community used to walk more than 10 miles to Agormor in the next village to get a stream water to drink and for other household chores, but the provision of the facility had brought relief to the community.
