The District Chief Executive for Asene Manso Akroso District Eastern Region, Hon. Eric Ahinakwa, has broken ground for the construction of 5 ultra-modern school facilities and CHPS compounds in five towns in the district.
In Otaprio town and Aprokumasi, they are building ultra-modern CHPS compounds, which is the first time both towns are benefiting from such a facility in history.
At Kwakukwaa, they are constructing a 6-unit classroom block, Nazareth will get a 3-unit ultra-modern KG block, and Asene Salvation Army School will also benefit from a 3-unit ultra-modern classroom block.
The DCE, Hon. Eric Ahinakwa, in an interview with the media after the sod-cutting ceremony, expressed his appreciation to the President, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, for giving him the chance to send development to deprived communities in the country.
According to him, every town needs development, so he will do his best to develop towns in the district.
He noted that governance is a continuous process, so he will make sure he continues the projects his predecessor left behind.
He promised that they are going to complete all the projects they have cut sod for within 6 to 8 months.
Hon. Eric Ahinakwa urged all families to advise their family members who have travelled and are living outside their towns and have registered and are voting outside their constituencies to come home and register in their constituencies so they can vote there, because before a project is done in a town, they look at the number of people in the town.
He promised other towns that have not benefited from the national cake to be patient, as it will soon reach their turn.
The District Health Director for Asene Manso Akroso, Mrs. Dorothy Ocansey, commended the DCE and the District Assembly for the developmental projects they are doing for healthcare in the district.
According to her, strong healthcare begins from the community level, and bringing quality healthcare closer to the people is a critical step towards achieving universal health coverage.
She said they are laying a foundation for improved livelihoods, better access to essential services, and a brighter future for the people.
She urged the beneficiary towns to take ownership of the projects, help support them, and take very good care of them.
The Director of Education, Mr. Heyford, also expressed his appreciation to the DCE and the Assembly for always being there for them.
He commended them for the school facilities they are building in the district.
According to him, the facilities will help in teaching and learning in the district.
Mr. Kwame Elija, the NDC Chairman for Asene Akroso Manso Constituency, expressed his appreciation to the NDC government for all the projects they are doing in the country.
He said since he was born, he has not seen such development going on in the country, but the NDC government has done a lot, so he urged all to continue to support the party so that they can continue with the development they are doing.
He expressed his appreciation to the DCE for the ultra-modern CHPS compound they are building in his hometown, Akyem Otaprio. According to him, this is the first time something like that is happening in his town and he will never forget it. He is proud of it and it will be a legacy for him.
All the Assembly Members and leaders of the beneficiary towns expressed their appreciation to the District Assembly and the DCE for bringing development to their towns.
They urged the DCE to continue with the good work he is doing for the district.
Hon. Eric Ahinakwa, since becoming the DCE for Asene Manso Akroso District, has brought a lot of development to the district and all the people have expressed their appreciation to him for the benevolent job he is doing for them.
