THE District Chief Executive for Upper Manya Krobo, Mr Joseph Tetteh Angmor, has assured the people in the villages and hamlets of the government’s commitment to provide the necessary social amenities and poverty alleviation programmes that would improve their lot.
He stated that it was in that respect that the good projects initiated by the previous government would be continued.
Mr Angmor gave the assurance when he paid a familiarisation visit to a number of communities in the area to acquaint himself with the problems facing the people and also to explain the government’s policies to them.
Places visited included Buorso, Amlase, Sutri Akwenor, Akuapem Zuyanmunor, Poliwa Odortorm, Ternguanya and Samlesi Dornor.
According to the DCE, a number of social amenities such as roads, boreholes and school buildings had been initiated for such communities, and that the completion of such projects, together with ongoing poverty alleviations programmes like the school-feeding concept, capitation grant and the health insurance scheme, would go a long way to improve their lot.
He, therefore, asked the people to honour their tax obligations and offer communal labour on some of the projects to be completed on time.
“The government is committed to providing the required amenities to improve your lot but it is difficult for it to provide everything, so you must assist the government in doing so,” he told the people.
He also advised the assembly members to identify the needs of the people and work hard to meet those needs.
At Ternguanya, Mr Annor Emmanuel, secretary of the village’s RC and JSS’s PTA, who welcomed the DCE, appealed to him to help provide appropriate infrastructure for the two schools.
