The Eastern Regional Minister, Eric Kwakye Darfour, has praised the region’s Municipal and District Chief Executives for the good work they are doing to promote local development.
The Minister praised the MDCES for their swift continuation and completion of incomplete projects the present government inherited from the previous administration.
Mr Darfour was speaking during the commissioning of four projects in Birim North District: a six-unit classroom block at Asawase, a Community-Based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compound in Old Abirem, 32 lockable stores in New Abirem and a police post in Noyem.
Each of the projects, which were inherited from the Mahama government, was either incomplete or yet to have work started on it.
The chiefs of all four towns expressed their appreciation to the Akufo-Addo government and the DCE for Birim North for taking the bold decisions and completing the facilities.
Continuation
Obrempong Akwasi Amo Kyiretwie, Chief of Abirem, said because of politicians’ penchant for abandoning inherited projects, local people had feared the NPP government would not see through building work on the facilities.
He thanked and praised the local DCE and MP for proving the assumption wrong.
The DCE for Birim North, Remond Nana Damptey, said the NPP government is made up of selfless and matured leaders who have the development of the nation at heart.
He said President Akufo-Addo has directed that all projects inherited from the previous government be completed to enable local people to benefit from the money invested and better their lives.
Commendation
Mr Darfour praised the DCE, Remond Nana Damptey, and the MP for Abirem, John Osei Frimpong, for executing all four projects.
He also praised the region’s MDCES for projects that they have executed.
He assured the chiefs and the people that plans are far advanced and very soon construction work will begin on bad roads in the area.
Newmont Donation
Meanwhile, the management of Newmont Goldcorp, Akyem Mines have donated a new Toyota Hilux pick-up to the police at new post to aid their movement.
The Regional Minister, who received the car, commended Newmont for its repeated support to the people of Birim North and the region as a whole.
