He made the commitment when the Ga South Municipal Assembly held a community engagement with residents at Addo Morgue, Tuba, as part of efforts to strengthen communication between the Assembly and the people and provide a platform for residents to raise concerns affecting their communities.

The engagement brought together the Member of Parliament for Bortianor-Ngleshie Amanfro Constituency, Hon. Felix Akwetey Okle; Presiding Member, Hon. Nene Agbo Tetteh Shaibu; Assembly Member for Gedan Tuba, Hon. Dawud Dawud Kweeitsu; Unit Committee Members, Heads of Departments and other stakeholders.

Speaking at the engagement, Hon. Dawud Kweeitsu welcomed participants and expressed appreciation to the government and the Assembly for ongoing development initiatives in the area.

He, however, highlighted some challenges confronting residents and appealed for the opening of the local market to create employment and business opportunities for the people.

Hon. Moses Kabu Kubi Ocansey said the Assembly would work closely with the Member of Parliament in line with President John Dramani Mahama’s directive to accelerate development and ensure the completion of ongoing projects.

According to him, a percentage of the District Assembly Common Fund has been allocated to support legacy projects, including the construction of schools, a 24-hour market, CHPS compounds and mechanised boreholes.

He assured residents that the government and the Assembly remained committed to improving infrastructure and creating opportunities through investments in education, roads, healthcare and job creation.

The Member of Parliament, Hon. Felix Akwetey Okle, also highlighted a number of ongoing projects in the community and pledged to continue collaborating with the MCE to create opportunities for the youth, women and children.

Residents used the engagement to raise concerns over poor drainage systems which have contributed to flooding, the need for improved street roads, and the construction of a Senior High School in the area.

They also appealed for a jingle on property rates to be broadcast at the community information centre to educate residents on their obligations.

In response, the Assembly explained that the property-rate jingle was already available at the Information Office and would be forwarded to the information centre for broadcast.

The engagement ended on a positive note, with residents expressing satisfaction with the interaction and optimism that their concerns would receive the necessary attention from the Assembly and government.
