Am hopeful that Qatar Charity would continually support the well-being of the people. Gomoa Central Constituency is fast developing so government for that matter the Gomoa Central District Assembly alone cannot provide all the needed social amenities at a faster rate they are expecting.

It's therefore welcoming news that Qatar Charity is complimenting government's effort in this direction. By the grace of God we are doing our best as government.

Modern toilet facilities are being constructed to eradicate Open defecation and its related diseases. We are making healthcare delivery accessible to the people because a healthy people makes a wealthy nation.

While Qatar Charity is constructing boreholes for communities in the Constituency, I will like to appeal to them to support us with a Polyclinic facility to attend to the health needs of the people. Gomoa Central District ought to have a Polyclinic to support the only Health Center at Gomoa Obuasi which is overburdened looking at the increasing number of health cases received on daily basis"
