Government is doubling efforts to achieve the goal.
Inhabitants of Garu district are more affected in the dry season.
Although boreholes are dotted in the district, they barely provide adequate water to serve the growing population.
The contaminated water from these sources poses health threats to the people but they have no choice.
Several researches point out that such water sources contain life-threatening parasites and high microbial content which makes the water unsafe for consumption.
Eight communities have had their boreholes completed awaiting handing over.
Mr. Akuka who inspected the on-going projects explained his intervention is a way of accounting to the people on how the MP’s common fund is being used.
The MP expressed gratitude to the traditional rulers in the area and the constituents but urged them to cooperate with him together with other NGOs for more development in the area.
Meanwhile, he has collaborated with the district health directorate to organise a health screening for the people.
The MP indicated that the local economy thrives on healthy people, hence the screening exercise will help improve on the health needs of the people in the district to boost productivity.
