The Gomoa Central MP, Kwame Asare Obeng — better known as A Plus — has taken the first concrete step towards realising one of his most ambitious constituency pledges, commissioning feasibility studies for a proposed artificial waterfall that could redefine Gomoa as a tourism destination.
The announcement marks a transition from vision to process. What was once floated as part of a broader development agenda for the area has now entered the formal planning phase, with preliminary assessments already under way to determine whether the project is viable, sustainable, and economically worthwhile.
The feasibility process is expected to be comprehensive. Assessors will interrogate several critical variables — among them environmental impact, land suitability, the availability and long-term sustainability of water resources, and projected construction and operational costs.
Crucially, the economic case will also come under scrutiny. Analysts will seek to quantify the project’s potential to attract visitors, generate employment in Gomoa and its surrounding communities, and stimulate the kind of local business activity that transforms a single attraction into an engine of broader economic growth.
If those assessments return favourably, an artificial waterfall of this nature could carve out a genuinely distinctive niche within Ghana’s expanding tourism sector — drawing both domestic and international visitors to a region not currently associated with headline tourist infrastructure.

For all the momentum the feasibility launch signals, significant details are yet to be disclosed. The exact site of the proposed waterfall has not been confirmed. No investors have been publicly identified. A construction timeline has not been set. And the financing model — whether publicly funded, privately backed, or structured as a public-private partnership — remains an open question.
These gaps will invite scrutiny, and rightly so. Artificial water features at this scale are resource-intensive by nature, demanding continuous input and careful ecological management long after the ribbon-cutting. Critics and stakeholders will be watching closely to see whether the promise of Gomoa’s waterfall holds up under the hard logic of engineering, environmental compliance, and fiscal responsibility.
A Benchmark Moment for A Plus
The MP has built a public profile that sits at the intersection of politics, advocacy, and entertainment. But it is tangible constituency development — the kind that outlasts a term in office — that will ultimately define his legislative legacy.
The commissioning of feasibility studies is not yet a waterfall. But it is the most credible signal yet that A Plus intends to build one — and that Gomoa’s transformation from political talking point to tourist destination may be closer than many expected.
