Ampoma (B/A), Oct. 9, GNA- The Kintampo South District Assembly has taken delivery of more than 10,000 energy saving bulbs for distribution to some communities in the area. The bulbs would replace the incandescent bulbs, which consumes high energy.

The bulbs would be supplied to the people of Ampoma, Jema, Amoma, Krabonso, Pramposo, Krutakyi, Pamdu, Paniniamisa and Jema Nkwanta. Addressing the chiefs and people of Ampoma at a meeting to launch the project in the area, Mr. Yaw Adjei-Duffour, District Chief Executive (DCE), said the bulbs would help the people to pay low tariffs on electricity.

He urged the people to take proper care of the bulbs and watch the activities of some unscrupulous people who may intend stealing them. Mr. Adjei-Duffour said government had the vision and foresight for the development of the country and advised the people to rally behind the New Patriotic Party towards a resounding victory in 2008 elections. The DCE reminded the people of the Capitation Grant and the School Feeding Programme and urged parents to enrol their children in schools.
