On Friday, May 17, 2024, the District Chief Executive (DCE) for Asunafo South, Frank Aduse Poku, took a significant step toward improving the lives of the residents of Aboum, a community within the Asunafo South district.

Frank Aduse Poku ceremoniously initiated the construction of a $300,000 safe water project, underscoring his commitment to providing essential services to the people he serves.

In his address to the media during the sod-cutting ceremony, Aduse Poku explained the rationale behind prioritizing the provision of safe water to Aboum.

He emphasized that when the Asunafo South district was established, it included several key towns, such as Kukuom, Nobekaw, Kwapong, Sankore, and Aboum. Upon assuming office as the DCE, he pledged to ensure that all these significant communities have access to clean water, recognizing water as an indispensable aspect of life.

Furthermore, Aduse Poku articulated a poignant contrast, drawing attention to the disparity between the needs of the constituents and the actions of some elected representatives.

He criticized the approach of some parliamentarians, exemplified by Eric Poku, who, he claimed, were investing in ventures such as hotels and filling stations while neglecting fundamental necessities like clean water for their constituencies.

This forthright critique underscores Aduse Poku's commitment to prioritizing the welfare of his constituents over personal or political gain.

Addressing other pressing concerns in Aboum, he highlighted the deplorable state of the roads linking Aboum to Sankore, labeling them a "deadly road" within the district.

However, he brought a ray of hope to the residents by announcing that the road had been awarded to a contractor, with construction already underway. This announcement heralds a significant improvement in infrastructure that will not only enhance mobility but also bolster economic activities, particularly for farmers in the community.

The initiatives spearheaded by Frank Aduse Poku epitomize a proactive and people-centric approach to governance.

By prioritizing projects that directly impact the lives of constituents, such as the provision of safe water and the improvement of road infrastructure, Aduse Poku demonstrates a deep understanding of the challenges facing his district and a firm commitment to addressing them.

As the political landscape continues to evolve, leaders like Aduse Poku serve as beacons of hope, inspiring confidence in their ability to effect positive change and uplift the lives of those they represent.

The safe water project and road infrastructure development in Aboum stand as tangible evidence of Frank Aduse Poku's unwavering dedication to the well-being and prosperity of the people of Asunafo South.
