Upper West Akim District Chief Executive (DCE) Eugene Sackey has shared significant developmental achievements in the constituency.
Mr. Sackey explained that, the district has transformed many local roads, which were previously feeder roads, into accessible, durable routes.
“We’ve made tremendous progress in road development, particularly the main road leading to Bawjiase, which has now been fully constructed,” he said.
According to him, all cocoa roads in the constituency are now motorable.
“In terms of roads, we’ve done a lot of work throughout the constituency” he said.
He made this known on Adom FM’s The Big Debate segment on the station’s award-winning morning show, Dwaso Nsem on Friday.
Mr. Sackey also disclosed that, the district’s current two-month embargo on sand-winning activities, imposed to address the challenges of reclamation.
“We’ve put a hold on sand winning as part of efforts to address the reclamation challenges. It’s a serious concern for us, and we’re putting measures in place to ensure the right procedures are followed,” he stated.
Touching on healthcare improvements, the DCE mentioned that most CHPS compounds in the district are nearing completion.
Speaking on the Agenda 111 project, he acknowledged that land issues had caused some delays.
