"One Meter, One House"; Prez Mahama Assures Abura Residents

President John Dramani Mahama has promised residents of Abura in the Cape Coast North constituency "one meter per house".

The President observed that several households at the area share meters which to him, may cause confusion in the payment of tariffs.

According to Peace FM's Central Regional Correspondent Nana Sanka, President Mahama indicated that he has already procured thousands of meters to fulfill his campaign promise to the residents.

He made this promise on the second day of his Central Region tour.

The "One meter, One House" policy by the President comes on the heels of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Nana Addo's campaign promise of "1 Village, 1 Dam".

Touring Abura and Kotokraba markets to interact with market women, President Mahama noted that the electricity challenges have since become the bane of the area.

In Abura, I know your major concern is about electricity, a lot of you do not have meters. In most of the houses, the meters are shared. So I’ve asked that 1500 meters should be made available to you so that each house will have one meter,” Mahama added.

He believed this will help reduce the challenges in sharing electricity bills and also help consumers to be able to regulate and monitor their own consumption.

President John Mahama also took the opportunity to introduce the Cape Coast North Parliamentary aspirant Kobby Acheampong to the electorates.

He further urged the residents to vote massively for him during the December polls for a second term in office.
