The Member of Parliament for Lambussie Constituency, Prof. Titus K. Beyuo, has accounted for his stewardship to constituents, outlining a number of interventions undertaken in education, healthcare, water, agriculture, electricity and other sectors.
Speaking on Lambussie FM during an engagement on the state of the Lambussie Constituency, Prof. Beyuo said the engagement was part of his responsibility to regularly update constituents on how he was delivering on the mandate entrusted to him.
“I am a servant of the people of Lambussie. I have a social contract with them and it is therefore necessary to update constituents on how far I have carried the mandate,” he stated.
Education
On education, the MP said he had fulfilled his campaign commitment to provide a library for the district, noting that the Lambussie District Library has been constructed, commissioned and handed over for use.
He also highlighted the establishment of a Teachers Awards Scheme, which he said was intended to motivate teachers to improve their performance and contribute to better educational outcomes in the constituency.
According to Prof. Beyuo, his Learners Support Scheme has also provided financial assistance to qualified students, with scholarships amounting to approximately GH¢300,000.00 disbursed.
He further disclosed that the Lambussie Community Day Senior High School had been converted to a boarding institution, with work on the necessary boarding facilities at an advanced stage.
The MP added that the Karni Technical Institute had been absorbed into the government system and converted into a boarding school.
He said efforts were also underway to upgrade Piina Senior High School from Category C to Category B, indicating that lobbying for the upgrade was ongoing.
Water and Electricity
Prof. Beyuo said access to potable water remained a priority, revealing that 23 boreholes were drilled in the constituency in 2025.
He said an additional 13 boreholes were being pursued for 2026 as part of efforts to extend access to clean drinking water to more communities.
On electricity, however, the MP acknowledged that progress had not met his expectations.
He explained that electricity challenges in the constituency could broadly be categorised into “virgin communities” without previous electricity extension projects and “abandoned communities” where projects had commenced but remained incomplete.
He cited communities including Karni-Dampuo, Suke, Tapumu, Kelegang, Chebugo and Nichili as examples of areas where electricity extension works had been started but not completed.
Prof. Beyuo said the affected communities had been repackaged under the current electricity extension programme and contractors responsible for the projects, who are currently working in other regions, are expected to commence work in some of the communities according to the implementation plan.
He expressed sympathy with residents still living without electricity and thanked them for their patience.
Healthcare
The MP also highlighted developments in the health sector, noting that Lambussie District is among the first 150 districts benefiting from the piloting of the Free Primary Healthcare Policy.
He said the district’s health facilities were consequently receiving retooling to position them to effectively implement the policy, with a number of medical equipment already received and more expected.
On the Agenda 111 hospital project, Prof. Beyuo explained that the Lambussie project had been selected among the 35 projects earmarked for completion by the current government.
He said the first phase covered 10 projects, while the Lambussie Agenda 111 project was included in the second phase. According to him, the first 10 projects were commissioned earlier but lacked some essential equipment required to make them fully operational.
The MP said additional health personnel had also been posted to the district, although he admitted that the numbers were still inadequate.
He disclosed that doctors had recently been posted and expressed hope that some would be assigned to the Lambussie District.
On health infrastructure, Prof. Beyuo said a CHPS compound at Leoro had been completed and handed over, while another at Hamile Moateng had been completed and was awaiting handover.
He, however, expressed concern about the condition of the Hamile Polyclinic and Tapumu CHPS Compound.
He said a contract had been awarded for the reroofing of the Tapumu CHPS Compound, while preparations were ongoing to award a similar contract for the Hamile Polyclinic.
The MP also mentioned the constituency’s periodic health screening programmes, which he said were currently on hold because of the farming season.
He added that the Health Workers Awards Scheme was also ongoing to recognise health workers who serve residents with dedication and dignity.
Agriculture and Emergency Services
In agriculture, Prof. Beyuo disclosed that Lambussie was among the beneficiaries of an aquaculture project, which he said would soon take off on a larger scale.
He also said some farmers had received free fertiliser during the year and indicated that the constituency would benefit from the “Akoko Nkiti Nkiti” project once it was rolled out in the Upper West Region.
The MP said he sponsored the topmost award during the 2025 Farmers’ Day celebration in the constituency and pledged to continue the sponsorship for the 2026 celebration.
On emergency services, Prof. Beyuo disclosed that the constituency’s ambulance had undergone repairs, including the replacement of its engine and the procurement of new tyres.
He expressed optimism that the ambulance would soon return to the road to support emergency healthcare delivery.
He also announced that a fire tender had been secured for Hamile. He explained that the vehicle would be released once the fire station at Hamile was constructed.
According to him, the development would give Lambussie District two fire stations, which he described as a positive development for emergency response and public safety.
Prof. Beyuo reiterated his commitment to working with relevant stakeholders to address the remaining development challenges in the constituency and called for continued patience and support from constituents as ongoing projects and interventions were pursued.
