He shared the community’s anticipation for improvements in infrastructure, particularly focusing on water access, electricity connections, and road conditions.
Dzifa Abla Gomashie, the Ketu South NDC Member of Parliament, assured residents that the party would honor the commitments made during the campaign.
She emphasized the importance of fulfilling these promises for the development and progress of the community. The celebrations during the victory party were seen as a symbol of optimism for a brighter future, with the residents hopeful that their community will witness the infrastructure development it desperately needs in the coming years.
