CONSTRUCTION work on five social amenities, made up of two modern lorry parks and three kindergarten (KG) school blocks, in the Lower and Upper Manya Krobo districts has begun.
The projects comprise the rehabilitation of the Asesewa lorry park in Upper Manya Krobo, the construction of a new lorry park at Kpong as well as three KG school buildings for the Akuse Roman Catholic, Nuaso Presbyterian and Manya Kpongunor Presbyterian primary schools.
KfW of Germany is providing 90 per cent of the GH¢894,000 being the cost of the projects while the two district assemblies are taking up the remaining 10 per cent of the counterpart funding.
The projects are expected to be completed within nine months.
Briefing journalists before the sod-cutting ceremony at Kpong on Wednesday, the District Chief Executive (DCE) for Lower Manya Krobo, Mr David Sackitey Asare, said the lorry parks would be provided with all the necessary modern amenities such as transit sheds and loading pads.
He added that each of the KGs would have a three-unit classroom block, a store, six-seat KVIP public toilets and a urinal.
Mr Asare stated that the project, which formed part of the Town Five initiative for some selected districts, would go a long way to uplift the image of the two districts and also improve the life of the people.
The DCE expressed appreciation to KfW of Germany and the government for supporting the projects.
He expressed the hope that both consultants, Urban Development Consortium and the contracting firm, Koforidua-based Ghana Concrete Engineering Works Limited, would live up to expectation by completing the work on schedule.
The Technical Director of Ghana Concrete Engineering Works, Mr Kwabena Asante, gave the assurance that the company would do its best to complete the project within the stipulated period.
