The Member of Parliament for Tema East, Hon. Isaac Ashai Odamtten, has coordinated an emergency intervention to address the acute water shortage at Manhean Senior High Technical School, Tema Manhean.
This action follows disruptions in water supply to parts of the Tema enclave due to a technical challenge affecting one of the main Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) pipelines in the Tema catchment area.
Hon. Isaac Ashai Odamtten has been actively monitoring the situation and engaging with relevant stakeholders to mitigate the impact on residents and critical institutions.
Recognizing the severe distress faced by Mansetec Secondary School, the MP acted to facilitate the immediate supply of 30,000 litres of water to the school.
The intervention was executed in two phases:
1.) An initial delivery of 10,000 litres was made to the school on January 21.
2.) A subsequent delivery of 20,000 litres was also supplied later that afternoon.
This critical operation was made possible through the collaborative support of the Tema Metropolitan Assembly, which promptly deployed its water tanker, and the Tema New Town Fire Service Station, which granted access to key water hydrant installations, ensuring the successful completion of the exercise.
The temporary relief provided has alleviated the immediate water crisis at the school, ensuring the well-being of students and staff.
Hon. Odamtten maintains that he remains deeply concerned about the broader water supply challenges within the constituency and is actively liaising with GWCL authorities to expedite a permanent resolution to the pipeline issue.
“We commend the management of GWCL for their ongoing repair efforts and urge them to restore normalcy as swiftly as possible,” the office the Tema East MP stated in a release.
“We also extend our sincere gratitude to the Tema Metropolitan Assembly as well as the Tema New Town Fire Service Station for their swift and invaluable partnership in this time of need,” they added.
Reiterating their commitment to the wellbeing of residents, they stressed that they remain focused on serving all constituents.
The Office of the MP for Tema East remains committed to the welfare of all constituents and will continue to provide updates on further developments.
