According to him, he started the project in 2019 during the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary primaries and has since then been able to provide over 36 boreholes to communities that had had water problems.
Before the projects, he said residents treks several kilometres to access water in both rivers and streams to access water for drinking and other domestic uses.

Hon Gomado thanked the people for their support for voting for him and the NDC in the 202 general elections though the party did not form a government and assured that he would work hard to justify the confidence reposed in him.
He assured the people of more improvement in the water supply system in the Constituency and observed that some projects in the health and water sector would also be tackled to provide good healthcare and easy transportation of goods and services.
