WORK PROGRESSES ON ATIWA PROJECTS (PAGE 22, JAN 16, 2010)

A number of social amenities currently being constructed under the Community Based Rural Development Project (CBRDP) in the Atiwa District have been completed.
These include three 10-seater vault chamber places of convenience at Ankaase, Moseaso and New Jejeti which would be handed over to the community for use.
The District Chief Executive, Mr Emannuel Atta Twum, who made this known when he addressed the assembly at Kwabeng, said three other CBRDP projects were at the last stages of completion. They are a three-unit classroom block with an office, store and staff common room at Akutuase; another three-unit classroom block at Banso and a 10-unit vault chamber place of convenience at Sekyere.
He said a number of social amenities being provided under the District Assembly Common Fund were also at various stages of construction.
The projects include a GH¢75,203.00, six-unit classroom block for the Akrofufu Presbyterian Primary School, which is at the roofing level a GH¢49,830.00 three-unit classroom block for the Anyinam R/C a GH¢49,856.48 three-classroom block, office and store at Asamama, and another GH¢63,823.90 three-unit classroom block with an office, store and staff common room for Tumfa Presbyterian JHS.
On health, he said although the lead non-governmental organisation (NGO) selected by the Ghana AIDS Commission to facilitate HIV/AIDS control in the district failed to report, the District AIDS Committee and the District Directorate of the Ghana Health Service carried out some HIV/AIDS prevention activities.
The DCE said the district was relatively peaceful the previous year, with the exception of the carnage on the Anyinam-Jejeti stretch of the Accra-Kumasi Highway, and advised motorists to be careful, especially when they were on that stretch of the road.
Earlier, the Presiding Member, Mr Kwasi Amoako, had appealed to the assembly members to do away with party partisanship and unite to develop the district.
