Clinic under construction at Atrensu

Atrensu (B/A), Aug. 18, GNA - Mr Alex Kofi Kyeremeh, Techiman Municipal Chief Executive, has urged the people to participate fully in the impending district and unit committee elections and also to vote for dedicated and honest candidates.

Mr Kyeremeh made the call at a sod-cutting ceremony, for the commencement of the construction of a GHC 48,415.29 clinic at Atrensu, in the Abemegya electoral area of the municipality.

The project, funded by the District Development Fund, would cater for eight farming communities, namely Atrensu, Ayeasu, Fitri Brompiah, Kokroko, Kokoago, Atrensu-Atifi, Aboabo and Ayeasu-Sreso.

Mr Kyeremeh said the clinic would help improve the health needs of the people and to support the government to meet the challenges in the health sector.

He advised farmers in the area to embrace the Youth in Agriculture programme and form groups to attract government support in terms of inputs to improve their living standards.

He lauded the cordial relationship between the unit committees and traditional authorities and their commitment to complementing government efforts towards accelerated national development.

The MCE said the Assembly was committed to ensuring the equitable distribution of basic infrastructure in the rural areas.

Mr Daniel Kyere, Assembly Member, called on the Assembly to rehabilitate a one classroom block for the L/A School, constructed in the early 1960's by the Nkrumah regime.

Nana Augustine Afena, caretaker of Atrensu, commended the Assembly for its support in the promotion of quality health-care delivery in the electoral area.
