The Krachi East Municipal Assembly is facing a pressing challenge that has significantly impacted its operations and service delivery.
A fire that ravaged the assembly’s office space two years ago has left the municipality without a dedicated office, forcing the assembly to rent space from a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO).
The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Hon. Nketia, has expressed deep concern over the situation, which has hindered the assembly’s ability to function efficiently.
In a recent interview with the media he revealed that the assembly has received notices from the NGO, requesting them to vacate the premises.
This development has further amplified the urgency of the situation, and the MCE is appealing to the relevant authorities to prioritize the construction of a new assembly office.
The lack of a permanent, purpose-built office has significantly impacted the assembly’s operations, affecting its ability to deliver essential services to the residents of the municipality. Hon. Nketia emphasized the importance of having a dedicated office space, highlighting how it would enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the assembly’s operations. A new office would provide a conducive working environment for staff, enabling them to carry out their duties without hindrance.
The MCE’s appeal is directed at the Oti Regional Minister and President John Dramani Mahama, recognizing the critical role that a new office plays in the development and progress of the Krachi East Municipality. Hon. Nketia believes that a new office would be a significant step towards addressing the assembly’s operational challenges and improving service delivery to the community.
In addition to the need for a new office, Hon. Nketia also addressed the deteriorating state of the roads in the regional capital.
The MCE appealed to the government and the Minister of Roads and Highways to provide support for road infrastructure improvements, acknowledging the importance of good road networks for economic activities and the overall well-being of the community.
The state of the roads in the Krachi East Municipality is a significant concern, and Hon. Nketia believes that addressing this challenge is crucial for the holistic development of the area. Good road networks would facilitate the movement of goods and people, boosting economic activities and improving access to essential services.
The MCE’s appeal highlights the need for urgent attention to be given to the infrastructural challenges facing the Krachi East Municipality. Addressing these challenges would have a positive impact on the lives of the residents, enhancing their economic and social well-being. It is hoped that the relevant authorities will take note of the MCE’s appeal and work towards providing a solution to the assembly’s office space needs and the deteriorating state of the roads.
The Krachi East Municipal Assembly’s situation is a call to action for the relevant authorities to prioritize the construction of a new office and address the infrastructural challenges facing the municipality. By doing so, the assembly would be able to function efficiently, delivering essential services to the community and contributing to the overall development of the area.
