Nkawie (Ash), May 13, GNA – Ms. Shirley Kyei, Member of Parliament for Atwima Nwabiagya South Constituency in the Ashanti Region, has called for a development-driven Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) to spearhead progress in the area.
According to the MP, her vision to transform the constituency can only be realised with the support of a proactive and visionary MCE who understands the critical role of rural development.
She made these remarks while addressing chiefs and residents of Nkawie during the inauguration of a homecoming fundraising committee.
The committee, launched under the theme “Gathering Strength, Growing Together: A Homecoming for Community Development,” aims to mobilise resources from both local and diaspora citizens until Easter next year.
The funds will be used to construct new accident, emergency, and children’s wards, and to complete an ongoing maternity ward project in Nkawie.
Ms. Kyei stressed the importance of continuity in development, calling on the current government to complete all ongoing projects initiated by the previous administration.
“Development is a continuous process, not a partisan agenda,” she stated.
She further pledged her commitment to work closely with the incoming MCE to improve infrastructure in education, health, roads, and other key sectors.
She supported the initiative with a personal contribution, the amount of which was undisclosed.
Mr. Wisdom Osei Boamah, the President’s nominee for MCE, also addressed the gathering and called on all stakeholders, especially Assembly Members, to support
his confirmation to honour President John Dramani Mahama’s vision and push forward the Municipality’s development agenda.
He also contributed an undisclosed amount to support the fundraising effort.
Nana Kofi Darko, the Krontihene of Nkawie, urged all citizens to contribute generously to the success of the project, stressing the collective responsibility for community development.
