Bridging the Energy Gap in Ejura Sekyedumase: MP and MCE Tour Electrification Projects Across the Municipality

Access to reliable electricity remains a cornerstone of socio-economic development, directly influencing education, healthcare delivery, security, and local enterprise growth. In Ejura Sekyedumase, ongoing electrification projects across several communities are steadily transforming lives and reinforcing the government’s commitment to inclusive development.

In a series of coordinated working visits in early April 2026, Hon. Muhammad Bawah Braimah, together with the Municipal Chief Executive, Hon. Rafiu Adam Seidu, undertook inspections of ongoing electricity projects in Amenam, Sabonline, and Nkyensie. These visits formed part of a broader strategy to ensure accountability, monitor project execution, and guarantee that development commitments translate into tangible outcomes for the people.

On 8th April 2026, the Member of Parliament and the Municipal Chief Executive visited Amenam to assess the ongoing electricity project in the community. During the visit, they engaged the Assembly Member, community leaders, and residents to evaluate the progress of work on the ground.

The visit underscored a firm commitment to accountable leadership and transparent governance. It also provided an opportunity to directly address concerns, gather feedback, and ensure that the contractor remains aligned with project timelines and expectations. As part of the intervention, streetlight bulbs were distributed to support the eventual full activation of the electricity system and enhance safety within the community.

Earlier, on 5th April 2026, a similar inspection was carried out in Sabonline. Accompanied by party stakeholders, the leadership team engaged with the Assembly Member, Abubakari Sadique Hussein, alongside community leaders and residents. The visit allowed for a firsthand assessment of the level of work completed by the contractor and provided clarity on the remaining phases of the project.

The inspection at Sabonline followed observations made at Nkyensie, where installation works had already been successfully completed. As in other communities, streetlight bulbs were distributed to improve visibility and enhance security. These interventions highlight a deliberate effort not only to deliver infrastructure but also to ensure that communities immediately benefit from improved living conditions.

On 4th April 2026, upon arrival in the constituency, the Member of Parliament joined the Municipal Chief Executive on a working tour to Nkyensie and its surrounding communities. The visit confirmed that the contractor had successfully completed all installation works, marking a significant milestone in the electrification agenda.

Engagements with residents and community leaders provided valuable insights into the impact of the project and reaffirmed the importance of sustained monitoring. The distribution of streetlight bulbs during the visit further demonstrated a commitment to enhancing public safety and ensuring that development outcomes are both practical and visible.

Addressing residents during the various community visits, Hon. Muhammad Bawah Braimah reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to equitable development across Ejura Sekyedumase. He emphasized that the electrification projects are not merely infrastructure initiatives, but life-changing interventions aimed at improving livelihoods, supporting local businesses, and enhancing access to essential services.

He further noted that consistent monitoring of projects remains a priority to ensure that contractors deliver quality work within agreed timelines. He assured residents that no community would be left behind, stressing that development must be inclusive, visible, and impactful.

In his remarks, the Municipal Chief Executive, Hon. Rafiu Adam Seidu, highlighted the importance of community engagement and collective responsibility in sustaining development projects. He commended residents for their cooperation and encouraged them to continue supporting the project to ensure its successful completion.

The MCE also reiterated the Assembly’s commitment to transparency and accountability, noting that regular inspections and stakeholder engagements are critical to achieving long-term development goals. He assured the communities that the Assembly would continue to work closely with all stakeholders to ensure the timely activation and full utilization of the electricity systems.

Across all three communities, these visits reflect a leadership approach grounded in responsiveness, transparency, and results. By engaging directly with stakeholders and physically inspecting project sites, the Member of Parliament and the Municipal Chief Executive have demonstrated a hands-on commitment to governance that prioritizes the needs of the people.

These efforts reinforce a clear mission: to ensure that every community within Ejura Sekyedumase benefits fully from life-changing development interventions, with no area left behind.

The electrification projects align closely with the broader development priorities of the current government of Ghana, particularly under the leadership vision of H.E John Dramani Mahama. Expanding access to electricity is a critical component of national policy aimed at reducing inequality, promoting rural development, and stimulating economic growth.

Reliable electricity enables small businesses to thrive, improves educational outcomes through better study conditions, enhances healthcare delivery, and strengthens overall community security. As such, these projects are not isolated interventions but part of a comprehensive national strategy to drive inclusive and sustainable development across all regions.

The progress achieved in these electrification efforts has also been made possible through strong regional leadership and coordination. Special acknowledgement is extended to Hon. Dr. Frank Amoakohene, the Ashanti Regional Minister, for his continued support and commitment to infrastructure development across the region. His leadership has been instrumental in fostering collaboration and ensuring that key projects receive the necessary attention and facilitation.

The ongoing electrification projects in Amenam, Sabonline, and Nkyensie represent more than infrastructure expansion—they symbolize a deliberate and sustained effort to improve lives, empower communities, and drive equitable development. Through consistent monitoring, stakeholder engagement, and strategic leadership, these initiatives continue to bring Ejura Sekyedumase closer to a future defined by opportunity, connectivity, and progress.
