The District Chief Executive (DCE) of Techiman North, Mr. Everson Addo-Donkor, has hinted that most deplorable roads in the area are currently receiving major boost, as contractors who abandoned construction sites last year had returned to complete their various assigned projects.
He noted that the government is on course to construct and rehabilitate various deplorable roads in the district to facilitate movement and development.
The DCE addressing the press at Tuobodom to mark his 100 days in office as a DCE, also outlined his vision for the district and appealed to the chiefs and people of the area to support his administration to succeed.
Mr Addo-Donkor said on assumption of office, he held meetings with the contractors and appealed to them to return to site for the completion of the projects due to the importance of the road network to the people of the area.
He mentioned the tarring of the Tuobodom town roads, the 16.3-kilometre Atrensu-Kokoago-Kokroko feeder road, the 10.5-kilometre Aworowa-Odumase-Kokroko feeder road and the upgrading of the 23-kilometre Bonya Nkwanta-Amangoase-Tenaba feeder road as some of the roads currently being constructed and added that the assembly is also working toward reshaping and maintenance of the 30-kilometre inner town roads of Aworoano, Abrafi Estate, Aworowa, Krobo Junction-Krobo Nursing Training College road, Konimase No.2, Sebene and Akrofrom town roads.
The DCE explained that the assembly had inaugurated two committees; namely One-District-One-Factory and Revenue Mobilization Taskforce to boost industrialization and revenue mobilization in the area.
He said the assembly had also targeted to construct a bungalow for the district magistrate, offices and hanger for National Ambulance Service and the Ghana National Fire Service to enhance their operations.
On education, Mr. Addo-Donkor said the assembly had planned to host, assist and collaborate with the Methodist Diocese of Wenchi to establish a College of Education in the area, adding that plans are far advanced for the establishment of a basic school at the Tuobodom Magazine by the assembly to help improve education in the area.
On electricity, he indicated that the assembly would extend electricity to some virgin communities such as Patakro, Anwia, Droboagya, Tanokrom and Tenabea, all farming communities, to the national grid.
The DCE also disclosed that there were some untapped tourist sites in the area and explained that the assembly would develop these sites to generate revenue for the assembly. He added that, the development of the sites would be executed through Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) and called on interested investors to support the initiative.
He further noted that the assembly would soon complete the ongoing telephony project at Adutwe and upgrading of the Tuobodom Health Centre to a model health facility to improve quality health care in the area.
Mr Addo-Donkor then pledged to complete all projects initiated by the former Member of Parliament (MP) in the area, Mr. Martin Oti Gyarko and his predecessor Mr. Peter Mensah.
