Member of Parliament for Ablekuma West, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful
The Member of Parliament for Ablekuma West, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, has urged constituents to vote for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2024 elections to ensure the continuation and completion of the Dansoman Sea Defence Project.
Speaking to Channel One TV on Tuesday, December 3, 2024, she emphasised the need to protect the livelihoods and properties of those living in the area.
“One key thing I have learnt is that when government changes hands, projects that have been started by the previous government are abandoned by the new government. We don’t want that to happen to this Sea Defence Project.
“So, I will urge everyone to vote for No. 1 for Dr. Bawumia and No. 1 for Ursula, so that this project that we have worked hard to start today, we will all in three years’ time celebrate its commissioning, because we will push and ensure that the work that has started will be completed,” she stated.
The Minister for Communications and Digitalisation pointed out the significance of the project, emphasising its critical role in protecting lives and property.
“We don’t want anyone to delay the project because they don’t know how important it is or don’t believe in it. We understand its urgency and its impact on livelihoods,” she added.
She called on all residents along the Dansoman beach and within the Ablekuma West constituency to vote massively for a performing MP and government, emphasising that the NPP has demonstrated a commitment to seeing the project through to its successful completion.
“I urge all residents along the Dansoman beach and in the Ablekuma West constituency to come out and vote massively for a performing Member of Parliament and performing government, that is the New Patriotic Party,” she noted.
The Ministry of Works and Housing has confirmed that contractors have commenced Phase Two of the Dansoman Sea Defence Project, which is expected to be completed within 36 months.
The project is expected to protect residents from the devastating effects of coastal erosion and flooding, making it a critical infrastructure development for the area.
