Bono East: Akufo-Addo Embarks On a Two-Day Working Visit

The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has commenced a two-day working visit to the Bono East region to Commission and inspect various projects undertaken by his government. 

Welcoming him, Leader of the Kintampo Traditional Area, Nana Adjei Adinkra who doubles as the Keontihene of the Mo traditional area lauded the Akufo-Addo led government for its immense contribution towards the development of the country. 

According to him, Kintampo has a community that has received its share of the national cake so far hence applauding the Nana Addo led government. 

"In terms of Agriculture, you introduced Planting for Foods and Jobs initiative, of which Kintampo North residents got a lot of seedlings and fertilizers to partake in the initiative, Mr President, we at Kintampo also benefited from the Free S.H.S policy, including many other developmental projects of which we are very much grateful," he said

However, as Oliver Twist always asks for more, Nana Adjei Adinkra appealed to the Government to intervene in uplifting the status of the Kintampo Municipal hospital to a teaching hospital to help address cases of accident-related deaths the facility currently records which he describes as unnecessary.

Nana also appealed for the provision of drinkable water which will be accessible for all with ease.

In response, the President assured that he will engage the Minister of health and the minister of finance to ensure Kintampo as a community gets quality health care as well as drinkable water.

The First Gentleman of the Land revealed that he is dedicated to developing the country hence the need to inspect all developmental projects himself to ensure that the contractors assigned with such contracts provide quality work. And also to get first-hand information concerning the challenges of the people and address them accordingly.

Still, in Kintampo, President Akufo-Addo Commissioned an ultra-modern court complex which is expected to help address legal cases which inhabitants there face over the years. Later that day,

 Mr Akufo-Addo further visited Prang in the Pru West District capital where he paid a courtesy call on the Omanhene there and further commissioned an ultra-modern edifice for the Bono East regional Department of feeder roads.

President Akufo-Addo assured the chiefs of Prang Pru West, Bono East region and Ghana as a whole.

On Agenda 111, he revealed that, within this month, he will commission all the hospitals captured in the agenda and Pru West as a district will not be exempt from it.

He disclosed that the emergence of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic has made the country self-reliant on Ghana's health care.

According to him, his government has put measures in place which will help the country to produce its own vaccines to combat any future outbreak of a virus.

On the rampant armed robbery cases being recorded in the region, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo said he has tasked all security agents in the region to up their game. He assured that he will be holding meetings with top officials of our security agency to put an end to this menace.
