In a stark reminder of the developmental challenges persisting in parts of Ghana, the Member of Parliament for Amenfi Central, Hon. Joanna Gyan Cudjoe, has expressed profound disappointment and concern over the absence of basic amenities such as electricity and mobile network coverage in several communities within her constituency.
Speaking to the media , MP Gyan Cudjoe described the situation as “unacceptable,” emphasizing that the year 2025 should not witness such glaring disparities in access to fundamental services.
“It is unacceptable that in 2025, some communities in Amenfi Central still lack electricity and mobile network coverage,” she stated, underscoring the urgency for remedial action.
The MP’s comments shed light on the plural challenges facing rural and underserved areas in Ghana, where infrastructure deficits continue to impede socio-economic progress. Lack of reliable electricity hampers economic activities, educational advancement, and healthcare delivery, while poor mobile network coverage isolates communities, limiting access to information, financial services, and communication.
Amenfi Central, like many other constituencies in Ghana’s rural areas, has seen calls for improved infrastructure as a prerequisite for unlocking potential and fostering inclusive development. MP Gyan Cudjoe’s remarks serve as a call to action for government agencies, telecom operators, and development partners to prioritize interventions that address these critical gaps.
The absence of electricity and telecommunications infrastructure not only stifles economic opportunities but also affects the quality of life, leaving communities vulnerable and disconnected from the digital economy. As Ghana strives to achieve its development goals and position itself as a technologically advanced nation, the situation in Amenfi Central presents a challenge that requires collaborative and sustained efforts.
The media , reporting on the story, underscores the importance of bringing such issues to the forefront, advocating for equitable access to services that are increasingly vital in today’s interconnected world.
As developments unfold, stakeholders await concrete steps from authorities and service providers to rectify the situation, ensuring that communities in Amenfi Central and similar areas are not left behind in Ghana’s growth narrative.
