Jinijini, (Bono), Aug. 12, GNA – Mr Dickson Kyere Duah, the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Berekum West Constituency in the Bono Region has assured the people that the rehabilitation works on the Berekum-Sampa road will commence soon.
He said the government had already awarded the contract of the rehabilitation of the road and acknowledged the track record of the contractors, assuring that the government would complete the project to facilitate the movements of the people and their economic activities.
Interacting with some of the constituents at a meeting at Jinijini, the constituency capital, Mr Duah said the Berekum-Sampa road remained one of the economically viable highways in the region.
He said that particular road was very dear to the government because on completion it would open up the area, and spur rapid socio-economic growth and development as well as boost cashew production for job creation.
Mr Duah said: “I can assure you that the contractor has the proven track record to complete the project as work commences,” he said during engagements with constituents.
The MP explained that he organised the meeting to identify and help tackle the immediate development needs of the people.
Mr Duah said plans were far advanced for him to establish a scholarship scheme to support needy but brilliant students to pursue their education to the highest level, saying priority would be given to students who pursued medicine and engineering programmes.
The MP also welcomed the newly recruited Community Police and Fire Assistance posted to serve the constituency.
