The Bosome Freho District Assembly has reaffirmed its commitment to a transformative developmental agenda, placing economic stimulation and infrastructure at the forefront of its 2024-2025 strategic goals. Under the leadership of Hon. Charles Appiah-Kubi, the Assembly is pivoting toward high-impact projects designed to bridge the developmental gap that has historically hindered the district’s potential.
Addressing stakeholders at a recent assembly gathering, Hon. Appiah-Kubi issued a stern mandate regarding the district’s trajectory. He emphasized that the era of stagnation is over and that the Assembly would maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any internal or external actions that undermine government initiatives.
“We will prioritize projects that drive growth and improve lives,” Hon. Appiah-Kubi stated. “The progress of this district is non-negotiable, and any actions hindering government progress won’t be tolerated. Our focus is on tangible results that the citizens can feel in their daily lives.”
For years, the Bosome Freho District has grappled with a fragmented road network, which has acted as a bottleneck for trade and social services. To combat this, the Assembly has deployed the District Road Improvement Programme (DRIP) machines to begin an intensive road-reshaping exercise.
The Works Department has received high commendation for its efficiency in utilizing these resources. The primary objectives of this road intervention include:
Market Access: Facilitating the movement of agricultural produce from farm gates to urban centers.
Healthcare Connectivity: Reducing travel time for emergency services and routine medical visits.
Educational Outreach: Ensuring students and teachers can reach schools safely and consistently, regardless of weather conditions.
Strategic Appeal for National Support
While the local assembly has been proactive in its efforts, the DCE highlighted the reality of their “limited resources.” Hon. Appiah-Kubi acknowledged that the district has “suffered deficits for too long,” necessitating a collaborative approach between the local and central government.
The Assembly is officially appealing for additional government support to scale its infrastructure projects. By augmenting local resources with national funding, the district aims to transition from temporary reshaping exercises to more permanent, paved road solutions.
“We are doing much with little, but to fully realize the economic potential of Bosome Freho, we need sustained support from the central government,” the DCE added.
The success of the reshaping exercise depends heavily on community cooperation. Hon. Appiah-Kubi urged residents to support the workers on the ground and protect the equipment being used. He noted that the maintenance of these roads is a shared responsibility that will ultimately lead to a more prosperous district for all.
The Assembly’s current initiatives signal a new chapter for Bosome Freho—one defined by disciplined leadership, infrastructure modernization, and a clear-eyed focus on economic self-sufficiency.
