The Municipal Chief Executive of the Suhum Municipal Assembly in the Eastern Region, Lydia Ohenewaa, has reaffirmed her readiness to work with the Member of Parliament (MP) for the constituency, Frank Asiedu Bekoe, to complete the stalled Astroturf project for the community.
According to her, she will team up with the MP and relevant stakeholders to mobilize resources to complete the project for the community.
Her pledge follows the sudden stalling of the project, for which sod-cutting was carried out by the MP popularly known as ‘Protozoa’ before the 2024 general elections.
The MCE was speaking at the maiden edition of the Ramadan Cup held at the Amanhyia M/A Basic School Park on Saturday, March 28.
Madam Ohenewaa said youth development is very essential to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government, hence the organization of the tournament to strengthen the bond between herself and the youth in the Municipality.
Participants of the maiden Virgin Ramadan Cup included Suhum Zone 1, Nankese Zone, Akorabo Zone, and Suhum Zone 2.
Akorabo and Suhum Zone 1 met at the grand finale, and Akorabo beat them by a lone goal to lift the trophy, going home with Gh¢7,000 together with medals, footballs, and a set of brand-new jerseys.
However, Suhum Zone 1 also received ¢5,000, along with medals, footballs, and brand-new jerseys, to appreciate their participation in the competition.
According to the MCE, football is the only game that brings together all the scores of life, and it promotes unity and love among young people.
She mentioned that over the decades, the youth of Suhum have contributed immensely to the development of the Assembly, and they continue to rally their support behind her since she assumed office as the Municipal Chief Executive.
She described their genuine act and love as incredible and assured them that she would do her best to get the Astroturf pitch completed and hand it over to them so they have a place to play football.
