This he believed would be possible if the Assembly identified the economic activities in the district and determined which economic venture would be more viable to market.

He made this call when he paid a working visit to the Sekyere Kumawu District Assembly to acquaint himself of the happenings in the district.

He noted that the one vision of the Nana Addo Dankwa administration is to provide jobs to the good people of Ghana hence, the many social interventions namely; one village one dam, one district one factory, planting for food and jobs, one village one dam, etc- rolled out to make his vision a reality.

The minister admitted that as a native of the district, he is particularly interested in its progress and to get its fair share of government’s initiatives.

He admitted that he is well aware of the challenges faced by the district in the past but as a relatively new district, there exits opportunities to explore.

He requested for a 100,000 litigation free land for government to attract investors to the district under the one factory one district project.

He hinted of government’s plans to construct a new structure for the Business Advisory Center into a result oriented one. This he believes will help train more people in the district and even beyond.

The District Chief Executive, Hon. Samuel Addae Agyekum gave a brief history of the Assembly and noted that even though the assembly is new officially formed in 2008, it has great potentials in terms of tourism, economic activities, etc.

However, he added that the challenges confronting the citizens who are predominantly farmers are post harvest loses due to inadequate storage facilities and ready market for their farm produce.

He was however optimistic that with the commencement of the free SHS which will provide one hot meal daily for day students as well, the school feeding programme for basic schools and the one district one factory programme as against government’s commitment to use 70% of tax payers money to buy raw materials from local industries, farmers will get ready market for their produce which will in turn curb the problem of post harvest losses.
