The District Chief Executive (DCE) of Twifo Atti-Mokwa, Isaac Yawson, has assured residents that an 18-year-old abandoned school project and 48 lockable stores will be completed by the end of the year under the government\u2019s Legacy Projects initiative.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He said the completion of these projects would transform the district\u2019s outlook and stimulate economic growth.<\/p>\n

Mr. Yawson gave the assurance when he addressed journalists after appearing before Parliament\u2019s Local Government Committee during its hearing on the Auditor-General\u2019s 2023 and 2024 reports.<\/p>\n

According to him, the Ministry of Finance and the Presidency had directed assemblies to prioritize long-abandoned projects across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my district, we had projects abandoned for over 18 years, dating back to President Kufuor\u2019s era. We have restarted one at A&D Basic School in Twifo Praso, and it is progressing steadily. The 48 lockable stores, which were abandoned three years ago, are now about 85% complete,\u201d he disclosed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He revealed that two schools\u2014one at Twifo Aponapon and another at Opokukrom\u2014have already been completed under the initiative, while other projects are being advertised in newspapers for commencement.<\/p>\n

On funding, the DCE confirmed that the district had received \u20b56 million, which had been allocated to ongoing works.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy the close of the year, the 18-year-old abandoned project and the 48 lockable stores will be fully completed. We also have another project at Asenso Agave, currently at 85% completion, with contractors still on site. We are committed to delivering these projects on time,\u201d he assured.<\/p>\n

IGF Challenges and Appeal to Traders While welcoming progress under the Legacy Projects, Mr. Yawson expressed concern over the assembly\u2019s difficulties in mobilizing Internally Generated Funds (IGF).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cRevenue collectors go round, but some traders complain that things are not going well and ask them to come back later. I want to encourage our people to cooperate with the assembly. Through IGF, we can undertake important development projects,\u201d he urged.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that IGF had already been used to construct a culvert at the Ashire Duko Duko\u2013Subresu stretch, which now benefits four to five communities.<\/p>\n

Vision for Twifo Atti-Mokwa Sharing his vision for the district, the DCE said his administration was determined to accelerate development and cited recent gains from a successful decongestion exercise in Twifo Praso.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I assumed office, there were challenges with traders resisting relocation during the decongestion exercise. Through engagement, we were able to move them into the market. I am confident that in the next four years, Twifo Atti-Mokwa will see significant transformation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
