Obuasi East Assembly restores power to Kwabenakwa and Asonkore communities after 6 month blackout
The Obuasi East Assembly restored power to the Kwabenakwa and Asonkore communities after a six-month blackout. This followed a strategic intervention by the Obuasi East Municipal Assembly, which provided two high-capacity transformers to replace those damaged half a year ago. William Kofi Adzowu, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), explained that the power crisis had significantly hindered local economic growth and affected the livelihoods of residents. He stated that the assembly allocated over GHC 250,000 from its assembly internal coffers to procure and install the new equipment to ensure a permanent solution.
The MCE emphasized that the assembly prioritized this project to revitalize micro-businesses that had been crippled by the lack of electricity. Opinion leaders and residents within the two communities expressed relief and gratitude, noting that the return of stable power allows cold store operators and other electricity-dependent businesses to resume operations after months of inactivity. They also stated that the restoration of light improves overall security and quality of life for the people of Kwabenakwa and Asonkore.
