ASSEMBLY RECEIVES HEAVY EQUIPMENT (PAGE 35, DEC 13, 2010)

THE National Security Secretariat has presented heavy equipment to the Asikuma-Odoben-Brakwa District Assembly to enhance the district’s development programme.
The equipment comprises a grader, tipper truck, pay loader and a roller.
The District Chief Executive (DCE), Mrs Georgina Nkrumah Aboah, who inaugurated the equipment last Thursday, said a committee had been set up with an oversight responsibility under the district’s security council to ensure effective and efficient management of the equipment.
Mrs Nkrumah Aboah said rehabilitation works on the bridge at Kuntanase, which collapsed during the recent floods, would soon be completed to make the road accessible.
She said the assembly had awarded contracts for the rehabilitation of a number of feeder roads in the area.
The roads are Jamra-Towoboase, Brakwa-Ogonaso, Adumanu-Anhwiam and Asikuma-Abuakua.
Mrs Nkrumah Aboah said funds had also been made available for the reshaping and spot regravelling of the Odoben town, Breman Asikuma-Assin Manso, Breman Asikuma town roads as well as the Odoben-Kuntanase roads.
She advised the people to channel their grievances through the appropriate quarters for redress instead of embarking on demonstrations.
The DCE also urged the people to participate fully in the up-coming district assembly elections whilst advising candidates and their supporters to desist from actions that could mar the elections.
She commended the National Security Secretariat for providing the equipment, which she said, would go a long way to boost development in the district and nearby ones which would also benefit from the equipment.
