Nkrankwanta (B/R), July 8, GNA – The Dormaa West District Court building complex and the judge’s bungalow projects are at various stages of completion, Mr Francis Kwadwo Oppong, the District Chief Executive (DCE), announced on Thursday.
Mr Oppong said this an address during the Assembly’s first ordinary meeting of the year, which was attended by Assembly Members, the Assembly’s staff, traditional rulers, heads of departments and members of the District Security Council (DISEC) at Nkrankwanta, the District capital of the Bono Region.
He said a two-kilometre Nkrankwanta town road from the District Assembly to the DCE’s residence had been awarded on contract, adding that the District Fire Station project too had been completed and handed over to the Assembly for occupancy by the Ghana National Fire Service.
Mr Oppong said drains and culverts were being constructed along the roads from Diabaa to Atesikrom, through Yaakrom-Nyamebekyere Junction to Nkwantaso to connect Kwakuanya to Kwadwomokrom-Asuontam road.
He entreated participants to cooperate and support the government’s implementation of the Electronic Transfer Levy (E-Levy) to generate the needed revenue for government to finance development projects.
Touching on health, the DCE said 35,448 people were vaccinated in the district and explained that 21,850 people took the first dose, 11,331 received the second dose while 2,267 had also taken the booster dose.
Mr Oppong said there was vaccination against schistosomiasis for children within the age range of 5-15 in the communities, saying more than 90 per cent of children within the specified age group had been reached.
On security, he said, the district had enjoyed relative peace evidenced by the number of businesses which were thriving in the area and attributed the achievement to the proactive effort of the District Police Command with support of the DISEC.
Mr Oppong enjoined residents to give maximum support to the on-going “See Something, Say Something” national security campaign to check the infiltration of terrorists and their activities in the country by reporting suspicious persons to the Police for action to prevent any attack.
