President John Dramani Mahama has commissioned a water project at Kpando in the Volta Region to improve on access to potable water in the region.

Mr Mahama, who is currently in the region on a five-day campaign tour, inaugurated the water expansion project on his first day in the region on Monday, October 17, 2016.

His five-day tour will see him visit at least 10 constituencies in the party’s stronghold.

Mr Mahama is heading to the region just four days after he ended his Greater Accra tour on Thursday.

Meanwhile, President Mahama has urged Ghanaians to shun pessimism and become optimists. According to him, outsiders have more faith in Ghana than Ghanaians themselves have in their own country.
