River Gee County – [July 15, 2025] – Senator Francis Saidy Dopoh II of River Gee has announced the introduction of a motorized borehole-drilling rig, solar lighting panels, and hundreds of seating chairs for more than 125 communities in the county.
Randy Nuch Brickson, the Senator’s Office Secretary, stated, “Access to clean water, reliable electricity, and sufficient seating in public spaces is crucial for community development.”
He said the initiative marks the beginning of a larger, ongoing effort to enhance health services and create economic opportunities in River Gee’s most isolated areas.
The key component of the project is a robust, trailer-mounted drilling machine that can create wells up to 100 meters deep.
Expected to be managed by technicians from the county health department, the rig is anticipated to provide safe drinking water to over 20,000 residents who currently travel long distances for water supply.
In another related development, the senator’s office has procured approximately 550 solar lighting panels to be installed in areas without consistent electricity.
He has also dedicated over 250 modern chairs to the Fish Town City Corporation to enhance seating availability at public events and municipal facilities.
Local leaders and residents have praised for the borehole rig as a game-changing asset, highlighting that even Fish Town, the county capital, faces challenges with insufficient hand pumps and inconsistent access to clean water.
The distribution of these resources, which will benefit residents of River Gee, also represents the continuation of Senator Dopoh’s broader development agenda in the County.
However, the specific costs associated with the water-boring rig, solar lighting, and seating supplies have not been disclosed.
Randy Nuch Brickson has committed to revealing the figures at the official commissioning ceremony of the materials in the county very soon.
