Mr. Nyamekye-Marfo advised the new DCE to build and ensure a healthy relationship with party executives as well as the chiefs to facilitate the rapid development of the district.

Mr. Bosompem advised the Assembly Members to bury their political differences and ensure a united front so they could initiate programmes that would facilitate development.
    
The new DCE expressed concern about the poor road network in the area and stated that since majority of the people were farmers he would ensure that some major roads in the area would be put in good shape.
