During the meeting, the MCE took the opportunity to reaffirm his unwavering commitment to prioritizing and accelerating the development agenda of the Agona West Municipality.

The discussions during this important engagement covered several critical areas vital to the growth and governance of the municipality. Central to the dialogue was the topic of revenue mobilization, which the MCE highlighted as an essential component for funding developmental projects and enhancing municipal services.

The meeting also underscored the importance of building and sustaining strong, collaborative relationships with traditional leaders, recognizing their influential role in community mobilization and local governance. Furthermore, the issue of non-supervision of developers was addressed, with a focus on improving oversight to ensure that infrastructural developments within the municipality meet required standards and regulations.
