Mr. Dennis Armah-Frempong, District Chief Executive (DCE) for the Area who received the bikes on behalf of the Assembly said work in many communities of the District would be easier because members would be able to comb all corners to collect revenue.

This he said would also help in improving Internally Generated Funds (IGF) to aid the development of the District.

The DCE commended the members of the Assembly for their patience and cooperation and urged them not to use them for their parochial interests but to work assiduously for the benefit of the Assembly. 

Mr. Armah-Frempong appealed to the government in the future, deliver the motorbikes during the inauguration of new Assembly Members for the Assemblies to reap the full benefits by the end of their tenure.

Nana Kwao Ponsi, Presiding Member of the Assembly who received the motorbikes on behalf of the members of the Assembly asked the members to use the bikes for the purpose to which they were offered to ensure the well- being of the people in their respective electoral areas.
