The MCE of SUMA did it again.
In an inspiring display of community engagement and civic responsibility, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of the Suhum Municipal Assembly, Hon. Mrs. Margaret Darko Darkwa, along with a dedicated team of staff members, recently embarked on a benevolent mission to illuminate the lives of the residents of Nankese. Their selfless act involved the donation of street bulbs, an initiative that not only brightens the physical landscape of the community but also metaphorically shines a light on the power of public service.
Hon. Mrs. Margaret Darko Darkwa, affectionately being called the “light bringer” has consistently proven herself as a beacon of leadership since taking office as the MCE of Suhum. Her commitment to uplifting the lives of the people in her municipality is truly commendable, and her recent endeavor to brighten the streets of Nankese exemplifies this dedication.
Nankese, a quaint and close-knit community located within the Suhum Municipal Assembly, has long been facing the challenge of insufficient street lighting. The absence of proper lighting not only posed safety concerns for residents but also hindered economic and social activities after sunset. Hon. Mrs. Margaret Darko Darkwa recognized this issue and decided to take affirmative action.
Accompanied by a team of enthusiastic staff members from the Suhum Municipal Assembly, Hon. Mrs. Darko Darkwa personally oversaw the distribution of street bulbs in Nankese on 13th April 2023. This symbolic gesture demonstrated her hands-on approach to community development, making her more than just a public servant but a true advocate for her constituents.
The Suhum Municipal Assembly staff members, who played an integral role in the execution of this initiative, deserve equal recognition for their dedication and support in making this project a reality. Their tireless efforts to ensure that every corner of Nankese would soon be bathed in the warm glow of streetlights was heartwarming.
The donation of street bulbs to Nankese carries a multitude of benefits for the community. First and foremost, it enhances safety. Well-lit streets create a safer environment for residents to move around, reducing the risk of accidents and criminal activities. Children can play outdoors after dark, and businesses can extend their hours, boosting economic opportunities.
Moreover, improved street lighting has a positive impact on the overall quality of life in the community. It fosters a sense of security, community pride, and social connectivity. Residents can now enjoy evening walks, gatherings, and events, thereby strengthening the bonds that hold the community together.
Beyond the immediate benefits, this initiative sets a precedent for other communities within the Suhum Municipal Assembly and serves as a reminder of the vital role that public officials and local authorities play in enhancing the well-being of their constituents.

The generous donation of street bulbs to the Nankese community by MCE Hon. Mrs. Margaret Darko Darkwa, alongside the dedicated staff members of the Suhum Municipal Assembly, illuminates not only the physical streets but also the hearts and minds of the residents. It underscores the transformative power of civic leadership, demonstrating how proactive initiatives can bring about tangible improvements in the lives of ordinary people.
Hon. Mrs. Darko Darkwa’s commitment to her constituents and her unwavering dedication to community development set a remarkable example for all. As the light from the newly installed street bulbs brightens Nankese, it is a testament to the positive change that can be achieved through public service and the collective efforts of a caring community.
