The Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya Constituency, Professor Mike Oquaye, has presented 500 streetlights to the Dome CSC Flats Residents Association.
Prof Mike Oquaye said he supplied them because most of streetlights in the area were not functioning and needed to be replaced.
Professor Mike Oquaye in another development sponsored a six-hour clean-up exercise in Dome-Kwabenya Constituency where residents
de-silted major gutters along the main streets and cleared weeds around the gutters.
He told journalists that Dome-Kwabenya had been a rural Constituency that lacked supply of water, electricity connection, streetlights, library, police station and a hospital.
Prof. Oquaye added that ever since he became the MP, he had used his influence with other firms and with governmental assistance to bring electricity, water, school, library, police station to his constituency.
He said he was the first to have brought government sponsored streetlights to the area.
Prof Oquaye said many years ago residents in his constituency had often been attacked by armed robbers as a result of absence of streetlights.
He led the journalists to tour his Constituency to see for themselves what he had actually done while in office as MP.
Prof Mike Oquaye said he played a role in signing the agreements on the Bui Dam, Tullow Oil and the construction of the Jubilee House
now named Flagstaff House.
He added that since 2005 he had been able to help his constituency with 3,000 streetlights and noted that Dome-Kwabenya had the largest ECG Sub-Station.
He said the construction of a three-storey hospital and a storey building police station under construction had their architectural drawing expenses borne by him.
He had also used part of his Common Fund to assist the needy but brilliant students in JSS, SHS and Universities in Ghana.
Prof. Oquaye denied an allegation that he had declared a support for a female MP candidate on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party in the Constituency.
