The perennial water shortage experienced by residents of Kwahu Twenedurase was dealt a significant blow yesterday when a water system was commissioned by Nana Frimpong Kwakye (II), Krontihene of Twenedurase on behalf of the chiefs and people.
The water system comprised two mechanised boreholes and four mega poly tanks,
 “The water shortage in the dry season has been a problem since we were kids. Twenedurase is a small peaceful town where I used to spend my long vacation when I was in primary school. It is my hometown and my mom was buried there. I have fond memories of the town and was actually planning to spend some time there with my kids this summer before Covid hit!â€, reminisced Dr Ben Yeboah, one of the contributors to the Twenedurase water project.
 The project was sponsored by two groups – family and friends of the Kronti family and some citizens of Twenedurase domiciled in North America. At a short commissioning ceremony held at the Twenedurase chief’s palace, Nana Frimpong Kwakye (II) commended all the individuals whose diverse contributions ensured the success of the project. He called on all citizens of the town to continually explore ways to support the vision of the chiefs to rapidly develop the town.
In brief remarks, Sodzi Sodzi-Tettey, who helped coordinate the Twenedurase water project, expressed gratitude to the chiefs, his uncle Nana Frimpong Kwakye II and Hon. Daniel Ofosu Darfour, Assemblyman of the town for the opportunity to contribute to the town’s development in honor of his mother who hails from the town. He also commended Hon. Darfour for his diligence, honesty and judicious use of resources mobilized for the project. He called out for special commendation, the appreciable contributions from the Bannerman, Asante Koranteng, Adjei Sakyi, Kemetse, Yeboah, Amegadzie, Selormey, Lumor, Kyere-Diabuor, Ntiamoah, Konadu Asiedu, Addo, Gyapong families and the Twenedurase Association of North America who were represented at the function by Dr. Mabel.
Hon. Daniel Ofosu Darfour, Assemblyman for Twenedurase announced plans to embark on many other development projects including an estate project and called for more support. The entire Twenedurase water project cost about 100,000 Ghana cedis.
