MP WANTS PROJECTS COMPLETED IN AHAFO ANO NORTH (PAGE 16)

THE Member of Parliament (MP) for Ahafo Ano North Constituency, Mr Richard Akuoko Adiyia, has identified the upgrading of the Tepa District Hospital, solving the perennial water shortage and the tarring of about 28 kilometres of two major roads in the constituency as critical needs which call for immediate attention.
He said the district hospital was over-stretched by both out-patients and in-patients who patronised it, adding that people from as far as Goaso and beyond used the facility.
Mr Adiyia has, therefore, called on the government, the District Assembly, the Ministry of Health and the Traditional Council to expedite action on the ongoing expansion programme at the district hospital to relieve the people of their plight.
The two preliminary roads, he said, were from Anyinasuso to Asuhyeae, a stretch of about eight kilometres.
He said the roads become unmotorable whenever there was heavy rainfall and called on the government to expedite action to enable work on it to be completed on schedule.
The Member of Parliament said he observed during his tour of some towns that the roads had developed dangerous potholes with stagnant water, and pleaded that the seven-kilometre stretch be completed between six and eight months to facilitate easy movement of people and goods.
Some of the communities he visited included Mamfo, Asuhyeae, Tiwobabi, Fenobo and Achina, where he asked them to live a peaceful life and be each other’s keeper.
He urged them to co-operate with the government to work for the welfare of all to move the country forward.
Mr Adiyia also donated sporting equipment to some schools.
On water, he said the situation at Mabang and Akwasiase needed urgent solution, even though work on the project was ongoing, the snail pace movement made the lives of the people too cumbersome.
He appealed to the District Chief Executive to see to the early completion to relieve the people of their plight.
