Sunyani East MP pledges judicious use of common fund  

Mr Seid Mubarak, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Sunyani East has pledged his commitment to ensure the judicious use of his share of the MP’s Common Fund to improve the lives of the constituents.
He said so far, he had received GHC500,000 as his share of the District Assembly Common Fund, spending close to GHC200,000 on development projects.
Speaking in an interview with the media in Sunyani, Mr Mubarak said he was yet to receive his share of the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFUND); however, he had already provided educational scholarships to the needy by brilliant tertiary students in the area.
The MP said he had extended similar educational support to some first-year students who had gained admissions to Senior High Schools, covering their prospectus.
Mr Mubarak explained that he was collaborating with the Sunyani Municipal Directorate of Health for the construction of Community-based Planning Service (CHPS) compounds at some of the deprived communities.
He indicated that plans were also advanced for the construction of mechanised boreholes to expand the water coverage, and improving access to potable drinking water at eight deprived communities in the constituency.
The communities include Abesim-Yaamiri, Kyermogya, Mensakrom, Adomako, Watchman as well as the Sunyani Technical Institute as well as the Sunyani Area Two.
On access roads, Mr Mubarak said he had lobbied for the construction of a 10-kilometer stretch in the constituency, saying very soon work would begin on the construction of a three-kilometer access road at Abesim.
He said additional three-kilometer access roads as well as two-kilometer roads each would be constructed at the Kuotokrom, Yawhima and Baakoniaba communities respectively.
Mr Mubarak gave the assurance that many of the deserving communities would benefit from the access road projects, saying “the Sunyani East constituency is set to benefit from 40-kilometer access roads within four years of my administration”.
