The MCE made this known during interactions with the Akokoa and Abamba communities as part of a familiarization tour of the municipality.

Hon. Ayaaba said as a first step the Akokoa zonal council which comprises Akokoa, Dobidi Nkwanta Yaw Nkrumah and Abamba has been reconstituted and strengthened to lead development within the affected communities.

He said the zonal council will now make decisions at the local level, mobilize and retain 50% of revenue to meet basic development needs of the area adding that the assembly will step in where requirements exceed the strength of the zonal council.

Whiles pledging a close collaboration with traditional authorities in the development of their communities, Hon. Ayaaba urged residents to endeavor to fulfill their civic duties for the benefit of the area.

The MCE together with the municipal director of the Department of Agriculture, Mr. Bright Atta Boateng took turns to brief the 2 communities on the modalities of the ‘Feed Ghana’ project and urged them to prepare to take advantage of it.

Residents took the opportunity to put across problems facing their communities which include bad roads, the Fulani herdsmen menace, inadequate school buildings, teachers and furniture and the lack of ICT facilities.

The MCE took note of the concerns and promised to help solve them as and when the necessary resources become available.

The communities were led by their various traditional authorities whiles technocrats from the municipal assembly accompanied the MCE.
