Wenchi (Bono), Aug. 4, GNA – Madam Gloria Opoku Gyamfi, the Wenchi Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) in the Bono Region has accounted for her stewardship, urging residents to contribute to the holistic development of the municipality.
In a powerpoint presentation at the “Accounting to the people” series at Wenchi, the MCE said that the Assembly had executed 30 development projects, as well as empowered Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) to decent lives.
Madam Gyamfi said those projects were executed through the District Assembly Common Fund, the Ghana Education Trust Fund and donor support.
She said the drainage systems in the Wenchi Township and parts of the municipality had been improved, saying that the assembly had also reshaped the deplorable condition of some roads linking farming communities and some access roads at Wenchi.
Madam Gyamfi said the Assembly had constructed 12 boreholes and three mechanised pumps across 10 communities in the municipality to improve water coverage.
The Assembly had also constructed six-unit classroom blocks respectively at Aboabo and Mensahkrom and another three-unit classroom block at Kanaase, as well as an ultra-modern Kindergarten block at the Roman Catholic cluster of schools at Wenchi, to improve access to quality education.
Madam Gyamfi said the Assembly had also constructed two Community-based Health Planning Service (CHPS) compounds at Ahyiayem and Asampu, while the construction of four physical educational projects was presently ongoing at the Wenchi Al Faruq College of Education.
They comprised two story teacher’s bungalows, dining and kitchen complex, a 300-bed capacity hostel and Assembly Hall projects.
She said with the support of Alhaji Seidu Haruna, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Wenchi, the Madamfo Ghana Foundation, a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) had built a six-unit classroom block at Nyinampenase.
She stated that the MP had also distributed dual desks to selected schools across the municipality and pledged the government’s dedication to do more through the assembly, to improve the lives of the people.
