ADANWOMASE WELCOMES ANDY OKRAH

-



The chiefs and people of Adanwomase in the Kwabre East district of Ashanti have appealed to government to reconstruct and expand the link road from Ejisu to Asonomaso Nkwanta to serve as an alternative route for the main Tafo-Mampong road. 

This will help ease the heavy traffic congestion on the main road particularly at Pankrono and Tafo during rush hours. 

The Krontihene, Nana Appiah Kubi made the appeal on behalf of the chiefs at a durbar in honour of the Deputy Ashanti Regional Minister, Andy Osei Okrah, at Adanwomase, his father’s hometown. 

The Krontihene expressed worry about the deteriorating nature of the by-pass which is another means for motorists and commuters of Asante Mampong and its nearby communities to and from Accra. 

Nana Appiah Kubi appealed also for the provision of two public places of convenience, including a community initiated 12-seater toilet. 

The community, which was adjudged the neatest town in Ashanti in 2014, also requires waste bins at vantage points for sustained environmental hygiene.

 The chief expressed appreciation to the government for being the first to appoint a citizen of Adanwomase into main stream government. 

In response, the Deputy Ashanti Regional Minister, Andy Osei Okrah, who is also the Ashanti Regional 2016 NDC Campaign Taskforce Coordinator, assured the chiefs that government will upgrade the link road to serve the numerous users and to also open up the area
to the rest of the country. Mr. Okrah pledged also his personal commitment to the socio-economic development of the town. He appealed for the support of the people to enable him to succeed in his official responsibilities. Mr. Okrah donated 10 bags of rice, cartons of cooking oil and a quantity of treated insecticide nets to the chiefs.

THE STATE OF KUMASI'S 'INDUSTRIAL AREA

-
The once Industrial enclave of the Ashanti region within the Kumasi metropolis is fast losing its status as the nerve centre of jobs for the people.     This is due to the collapse of most of the companies in quick succession in  the last few years for various reasons. Background Industrialization was a key component of the first wholly indigenous government of Ghana led by Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. The Ashanti region was not left out in this drive which was meant to create decent jobs for the residents, particularly the youth.  Asokwa, Ahinsan, Kaase, Atonsu and Kyirapatre were the communities that became what is known as the ‘Industrial Area’ of Ashanti from the early 60s.  The christening of this enclave as the ‘Industrial Area’ was the people’s appreciation of the numerous state and privately owned companies that were sited there.  These communities fall within present day Asokwa Constituency which is in the western part of the metropolis from the Accra d

KWAMANG SHS NEEDS URGENT HELP

New Campus of the Kwamang Presby SHS The Kwamang Presby Senior High/Technical School in the Sekyere Central district of Ashanti needs an urgent external intervention to address some of its pressing basic needs to function very well.  A visit by Ashanti Today to the school’s premises revealed that the school does not have an administrative block to administer affairs of the school for which reason the Headmistress, the Bursar and another staff are sharing one room which has been partitioned, while the Assistant Headmaster, the rest of the Accounts staff among other administrative officers are also working from an improvised classroom. Anybody who visits the Kwamang Presby Senior High Technical school for the first time will unavoidably take it for a basic school.  This is more so when it appears to be perching on the premises of the local Junior High School as its old site.  The school is wallowing in a myriad of challenges that are seriously militating against
