The District Chief Executive (DCE) for Atwima Mponua, Hon. Issahak Ibrahim, together with selected administrative staff and party officials, has commenced a community familiarization tour across the district aimed at strengthening engagement with residents and addressing pressing developmental challenges.
The tour seeks to bring governance closer to the people by identifying community needs, resolving existing problems, and initiating projects to improve the living conditions of constituents.
On Wednesday, 4th February, Hon. Issahak Ibrahim and his team visited Kensakrom, Atwima Takoradi, Akotaa, and Barniekrom, where they interacted with traditional authorities and community members on key development issues and livelihood opportunities. At Akotaa, the DCE cut sod for the construction of an ultra-modern Kindergarten school block, a project expected to enhance early childhood education in the area.
During the visit, Hon. Issahak tasked the District Engineer to, as a matter of urgency, initiate steps to repair all faulty boreholes in the communities to restore reliable access to potable water. He also assured residents of plans to expand electricity coverage to match the growing size of the communities.
The tour continued on Friday, 6th February, with visits to Bedabour, Kwame Dwaa, and Mpasatia. Hon. Issahak commended farmers for their hard work and reaffirmed government’s commitment to improving the agricultural sector through initiatives such as the distribution of free fertilizers and the flagship nkokɔ-nkitinkiti programme. He disclosed that the programme has already begun, with the distribution of six thousand seven hundred (6,700) birds to selected farmers within the district.
At Mpasatia, excitement filled the community as Hon. Issahak cut sod for the construction of a Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) Compound. He pledged to intensify efforts to alleviate hardship in the district and urged residents to actively support the fight against illegal mining (galamsey), which continues to threaten the natural environment.
The District Information Officer, Mr. Kwame Sarfo, also used the occasion to educate residents on the Gun Amnesty Programme, which offers citizens the opportunity to voluntarily surrender their firearms to the authorities at no cost.
The familiarization tour forms part of the DCE’s broader strategy to promote inclusive development and responsive governance in Atwima Mponua District.
