The consultation, held at the Ga West Municipal Assembly Hall, brought together representatives of transport operators, industrial establishments, hairdressers’ associations, garage operators, private health facilities, waste management companies, market operators and other relevant stakeholders.

The Head of Budget, Madam Mary A. A. Acquah, presented an overview of the Assembly’s revenue performance, sources of funding and major development projects.

She said the Assembly had set a revenue target of approximately GH¢63.20 million for the year, out of which about GH¢20.21 million had been mobilised as of July 2026, representing an overall performance of approximately 31.98 per cent.

Madam Acquah stressed the need for improved revenue mobilisation to enable the Assembly to finance development programmes and provide essential services to residents.

She highlighted several development interventions being undertaken by the Assembly, including the construction and completion of classroom blocks at Manhean, Adjen Kotoku, Afuaman, Mpehuasem and Kutunse.

The Assembly is also providing and rehabilitating boreholes and other water facilities in various communities to improve access to potable water.

Additionally, it is constructing and furnishing a CHPS compound equipped with an Out-Patient Department, laboratory, consulting room, maternity unit, male and female wards and other supporting facilities.

Road improvement works, including the grading and reshaping of roads, also form part of the Assembly’s development priorities.

The Assembly has further identified drainage works at Medie Township as a priority intervention to address flooding and improve the community’s resilience to heavy rainfall.

During the open forum, stakeholders raised concerns about the lack of a permanent transport terminal, the poor condition of the Rush-Kotoku Road and delays in opening a completed toilet facility at Nsakina.

They also sought clarification on proposed conveyance fees for vehicles transporting goods and commodities within the Municipality.

The Assembly assured the stakeholders that their concerns had been noted and would be addressed through appropriate measures in collaboration with relevant institutions.

The consultation reaffirmed the Assembly’s commitment to inclusive decision-making, responsible revenue mobilisation and equitable development.
