The Member of Parliament for Bongo Constituency, Charles Bawadua, has cut sod for the construction of a mechanized borehole at Gowrie Senior High School to improve access to potable water.
The project is expected to benefit both students and surrounding communities, where access to clean water remains a challenge.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Bawadua said improving water supply is a priority and noted that access to basic services is essential for effective teaching and learning.
“No student should be hindered in their education due to lack of basic necessities,” he said, adding that the facility will help reduce the burden of water access and allow students to focus on their studies.
He also urged students to remain disciplined and use peaceful means to address concerns.
Mr. Bawadua, a member of Parliament’s Select Committee on Water and Sanitation, said gaps persist in water delivery systems, particularly between urban and community-level supply. He said he would continue to advocate for improved and sustainable water access across the constituency.
The borehole project forms part of efforts to improve conditions in schools and communities in the Bongo area.
