“Nananom, Hon. Gifty Twum-Ampofo who is the Member of Parliament for the constituency also the Deputy Minister of Education in charge of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) including myself, decided to “ambush” the roads minister in connection with our dilapidated road networks which contractors have neglected. A reliable information reaching me indicates that, the roads minister who is currently on a national assignment, has assigned one of his deputies and the new contractor for Old Tafo Engen through New Tafo-Akim township to Kukurantumi (OPASS) for inspection and rapid action,” Hon. Alhaji Umar Babs Kofi Bodinga stated.
Hon. Alhaji Bodinga made this revelation in an exclusive interview with Nana Kwasi Asare, when he was asked questions about the bad nature of roads in the municipality as discussed at the Second Ordinary Meeting Of The Second Session Of The Second General Assembly Of The Municipal Assembly held at the Assembly’s Hall in Akyem Kukurantumi on 4th November, 2021.
He added that, his first general meeting with the assembly, has coughed out other abandoned but urgently needed projects apart from the bad road networks.
To mention a few, the assembly hall complex building, community foot bridges, public places of convenience and others.
Hon Umar Bodinga therefore admonished all netizens of Abuakwa North, his commitment in consultations with all stakeholders to get the situation unravelled is optimum.
The Hon. Municipal Chief Executive said, being an “armed chair” leader is detrimental to development, his first field engagement took him to the “Aboboyaa” operators majority of whom are not trained but operating in the enclave.
He said, he has formed a committee to superintend their training, onward licensing and safe operations to curb road carnages.
The meeting was graced by the Municipal Coordinating Director, Mrs Ruth Woode, Hon Emmanuel Asare Gyekye, Presiding Member, Honourable Assembly Members, Departmental Heads, DSP Isaac Ampofo, Tafo District Commander, ASP Frederick Kpetigo, Tafo District Crime Officer and the Press.
