The District Chief Executive (DCE), Dr. Prince Sodoke Amuzu in his presentation stated that these desks were a result of the deficit after they were able to procure 1200 desks after the assembly scored about 98 percent during the 2017 District Assemblies Performance Assessment Tool (DPAT, the Akatsi North District Assembly received some funds as a reward to undertaking some pressing needs of the assembly.

He added that apart from the desks there were other investments being made to improve education in the area.
