Anthony Mwinkaara Sumah, the Member of Parliament for Nadowli-Kaleo, revealed that his constituency has received a total of GH¢2,443,537.55 in development funds between January 2025 and September 2026. The figure, presented in a 23‑page statement by NDC Communications Officer Biekpe Sylvester, covers a wide range of interventions in education, healthcare, road improvement, rural electrification, water supply, sports and community development.
Education benefited most, with GH¢418,821 disbursed to 158 tertiary students through the Tertiary Education Support Fund and 183 students securing placements under the GETFund Scholarship Scheme. An additional GH¢700,711 was allocated to school infrastructure, furniture, administrative support and educational competitions. More than 16,000 schoolchildren also received free uniforms in 2026 through a partnership with Speaker Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin.
Health projects cost GH¢594,370.93, funding maternity facilities, medical assistance for those in need and health screening initiatives. Road works under the District Road Improvement Programme saw GH¢193,798 spent on improving and maintaining access routes such as Gbierung‑Tangasia, Mwavor‑Buteli and Gyili‑Mwanvor, among others.
Rural electrification investments totaled GH¢212,403, extending electricity to selected communities, installing over 150 streetlights and supplying more than 50 electricity poles for community‑led projects. Water supply efforts included drilling and installing manual pumps for 20 boreholes, repairing existing facilities and supporting small‑town water systems.
Other infrastructure projects highlighted include dormitories at Sombo and Takpo Senior High Schools, a library and ICT block at Kaleo Senior High School, classroom blocks, toilet facilities, markets and Community‑Based Health Planning and Services compounds.
Despite these investments, Mr Biekpe acknowledged that the constituency still faces significant challenges, notably poor feeder roads, inadequate healthcare infrastructure, limited electricity coverage, unemployment and weak telecommunications connectivity. He urged President John Dramani Mahama and relevant government institutions to increase investment in roads, healthcare, education, water supply, electricity, agriculture, employment and digital connectivity.
The statement also thanked successive political representatives, traditional authorities, the District Assembly, development partners and community leaders for their contributions, stressing that closing remaining gaps will require sustained investment and collaboration among government institutions, elected representatives and local communities.
