In an interview with ghanadistricts.com, Mr. Zormelo highlighted that recognizing the dire condition of a public toilet facility in his area he took the initiative to renovate it.

The facility he said was in a state of disrepair and posed a danger to the community hence he invested Ghs 6000 of his own funds to address this issue, ensuring the residents have access to a safe and functional facility.

The Assemblyman noted that the street lighting in his Electoral Area was severely lacking, with only 25 percent coverage. To address this, he reached out to philanthropists for assistance in enhancing the lighting infrastructure. Through his efforts, he was able to acquire 80 percent coverage, significantly improving safety and visibility for the community.

More so, Mr. Zormelo has been actively providing support to individuals who struggle to afford their hospital bills. He has also assisted in renewing their National Health Insurance Scheme cards, ensuring they have access to healthcare services. By allocating funds for these purposes, he aims to alleviate the financial burden on vulnerable members of his community.

Recognizing the importance of revenue generation for community development, the Assemblyman joined a sensitization tour in Osenase to educate citizens on the significance of paying their taxes.

Through this initiative, he aimed to promote awareness and encourage the public to contribute to the Internally Generated Fund, by emphasizing the need for tax compliance to enhance the resources available for improving the community's infrastructure and services
