We share equal settlements -
DCE tells rural residents
Adense-Yaw Boadi (Ash), Nov. 28, GNA- Mr Kwaku Obeng
Boateng, Ahafo-Ano South District Chief Executive,
on Tuesday said the provision and availability of
affordable social amenities would help enhance the
living standards of people living in the rural
areas.
He said access to education, health and other
facilities made urban areas valuable and different
from rural or deprived areas and that equality would
prevail when these facilities existed in villages
for the people to enjoy.
Mr Boateng was addressing the chiefs and people of
Adense-Yaw Boadi near Adugyama in the Ahafo-Ano
South district during the commissioning of a
three-unit classroom block for the community's
primary school valued at 290 million cedis.
The district assembly supported the project with its
share of the common fund.
Mr Boateng said what was needed was for the people
to unite and contribute their quota to improve upon
their living standards.
He urged the parents to take keen interest in their
children's education since it was the only legacy
they can bequeath to them.
He called for honesty, transparency and
accountability in the use of the capitation grant by
stakeholders to achieve the government's desired
results.
The DCE appealed to the people to register with the
District Mutual Health Insurance Scheme to enable
them assess affordable health care.
Mr Kwabena Peprah, assemblyman for the area
commended the district assembly for the mass spaying
exercise and appealed for the reconstruction of a
six-kilometre feeder road from Yaw-Boadi to Biemso
Number One, which is in a deplorable state.
Mr Appiah Adu Konadu, headteacher of the school,
said the school block had come at a time when
