NPP Government Is On Course

The government is on course and delivering on the election promises it made to Ghanaians, Mrs. Susan Akomea, the Asante-Akim Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), has asserted.

She said 11 months into government, it had demonstrated that it was in for serious business.

She cited the implementation of the free senior high school (SHS) policy, planting for food and jobs and restoration of nurses and teachers allowances.

The MCE was contributing to discussions at a town hall meeting held at Odumase.

The programme was organized by the Information Ministry not only to keep the people adequately informed about government's policies and programmes but to also gauge their felt needs and concerns.

It brought together chiefs, assembly members and identified groups in the municipality.

Officials took turns to throw more light on the free SHS, planting for food and jobs, national entrepreneurship and innovative programme and the infrastructure for poverty eradication programme.

The MCE said there could be no doubt that the economy was on the right track and expressed optimism that the quality of life of the people would improve.

She pledged to ensure transparency and accountability in the management of the finances of the assembly.

Mr. Robert Yaw Kwakye, the Presiding Member (PM), called for stronger support and the cooperation of the people in the assembly's revenue mobilization drive.

They should accept to pay their taxes to enable the assembly raise more revenue to fund its development programmes.
