Communities In Atiwa East To Benefit From Their Taxes…DCE Hints

The District Chief Executive for the Atiwa East District Assembly in the Eastern Region, Ernest Owusu Ntim, says the Assembly has outlined measures to give back to the communities and relieve them of some infrastructure challenges.

According to him, without tax contributions from the various communities in the country, the government wouldn’t have had the funds to run and manage the country’s affairs.

Ernest Ntim mentioned that all the communities in Atiwa East will benefit from the tax revenue generated by the Assembly.

“I will collaborate with all my 20 Assembly members in the District to use a digital channel to collect the taxes from the residents in the area,” opined Ernest Ntim.

He explained that a percentage of these taxes will be given to the communities to use to do their own project to enable them to benefit from the national cake.

The Atiwa East DCE stated this when he joined the Chiefs and elders of Anyinam to cut the sod for the construction of the Anyinam Community Center and pledged that the Assembly will support them to complete the project.

The Committee Chairman of the project, Dr. Lawrence Misa Aboagye, said they need over GH¢3 million to raise the project, but will use the right strategy to mobilize funds from the residents to complete it for Anyinamman.

Anyinamhene, Osaberima Okogyeabusua Banin Duodo, said that it has been his dream to construct a community center so that they can have an official place to hold their programs.

He expressed his excitement for breaking the ground for the project to commence and admonished his people to come on board and contribute something to help with its completion.
