AJUMAKO-ENYAN-ESSIAM ASSEMBLY HOLDS MEETING (PAGE 20)

THE Ajumako-Enyan-Essiam District Assembly in the Central Region is indebted to the tune of GH¢460,000 in outstanding expenditure.
The debts, which were incurred by the previous administration, include uncompleted projects, procurements, an expired overdraft facility from the Enyan Denkyira Rural Bank, the Rahama Loan Facility, the Bisease Land Issue, consultancy fees payable to the Public Works Department at Cape Coast, among others.
The District Chief Executive, Mr Light Koomson made this known at the second ordinary meeting of the third session of the fourth sitting of the assembly at Ajumako.
The occasion was also used to inaugurate a GH¢380,000 grader machine procured with funds from the assembly and which is payable within two years.
Mr Koomson, therefore, recommended that efforts must be made to streamline the assembly’s management and also take appropriate steps to address the issue of the indebtedness.
He said despite the challenges , the assembly had planned to construct a doctor’s bungalow and initiate work on one semi-detached building to house some senior staff members as well as the completion of a three-unit classroom block each at Akotogua, Osedzi and Bisease.
The DCE said projects which were awarded on contract in October, last year, and did not followed due process, were to be reviewed, and re-awarded.
