Stakeholders such as the traditional council, the clergy, and other opinion leaders in the District, are ready with the political and administrative will, to coordinate and support the Assembly Members to promote and buttress productive activities and social development in the District, he affirmed.

He rallied the newly-elected Assembly Members to lobby the Assembly to bring socio-economic development projects to their electoral areas for improvement in their living standards.

By doing this, you will only be on the path of executing your core mandates, which among others, enjoined you to strategize for the effective mobilization of resources needed for the overall development of their respective electoral areas, the DCE added.

Mr. Addai Agyekum also called for sustainable harmony and cohesion between the Assembly Members and the District's Management Team of the Assembly for a peaceful tenure during which they could execute real, qualitative development for the people.

The 60-year-old PM, who is also the Akwamuhene of the Sekyere Traditional area in the District, asked them to work in unity and harmony, for a fruitful and successful tenure.
