Since his election in 2019, Assembly Member Solomon Anabia Asampana has become a driving force for progress in the Kunkua-Daliga Electoral Area in the Bongo District of the Upper East Region. Guided by what he describes as “service to God and humanity,” he has led several interventions that continue to improve the lives of residents.
Over the years, the community has recorded measurable improvements across key sectors. Access to clean water has increased, offering relief to households that once struggled to meet basic needs. Local climate adaptation measures have been introduced to help residents cope with worsening environmental pressures. Road infrastructure has also improved, making it easier for farmers, traders, and schoolchildren to move in and out of the area.
Solomon Anabia summed up his mission simply, “My goal is to give Kunkua-Daliga the dignity it deserves. Development is not a privilege; it is a right our people must enjoy.”
In education, agriculture, youth development, women’s empowerment, information access, and health, his initiatives have opened new pathways for community growth. Farmers have received training and support, young people are being equipped with skills, and women are being encouraged to pursue economic independence.
As part of his efforts to strengthen education, he recently donated desktop computers, a graph board, markers, tables, and chairs to the Kunkua-Daliga Junior High School. During the presentation, he noted, “Our children must learn in an environment that inspires them. If we want them to compete with their peers anywhere in Ghana, then we must provide the tools that give them a fair start.”
He is appealing to philanthropists and Ghanaians of goodwill to support the school, especially with electricity connection, additional furniture, and learning materials. “I cannot do it alone. Together, we can give these children the future they dream of,” he added.
The Headteacher of Kunkua-Daliga JHS, Mr. Ayamga Robert Akologo, expressed gratitude for the gesture.
“This donation has come at the right time. It will significantly improve teaching and learning in our school,” he said. However, he appealed for further support, including textbooks, a football field, and proper documentation of the school land. “We call on the district assembly, NGOs, and political leaders to come to our aid,” he added.
The boys’ prefect also expressed appreciation, noting that while the Assembly Member is doing his best, the school still needs a computer lab and a football park for practical lessons and training.
A teacher at the school, Awine Matilda, stressed the urgent need for electricity:
“Teaching ICT without electricity is difficult. Children need to see things with their own eyes,” she said. She also appealed for more teacher tables and chairs to ease assessment and record-keeping.
Matilda further encouraged parents to prioritise their children’s education:
“Parents must not keep their children at home for farm work when they should be in school. Their future depends on the education they receive today.”
