The government has voted 2.3 billion cedis for the rehabilitation of roads and drains in the Ajumako-Enyan-Essiam District.

The Central Regional Minister, Mr Isaac Edumadze announced this at the installation of Mr John K. Amoah Buachie, Managing Director of Happy Kids Enterprise (Accra) as the new Odikro of Bisease and Adontehene of Ajumako Traditional Area, under the stool name Nana Okofo Kwakora Gyan III at Bisease on Saturday.

He said the government was committed to improve the lot of the people and appealed to them to eschew negative tendencies such as chieftaincy disputes, backbiting and pull him down attitude to ensure peace in the town.

Mr Edumadze commended the chiefs and elders of Bisease for resolving the chieftaincy dispute that gave way to the installation of a new chief and expressed the hope that this would spur them on to better things.

He said his administration would not entertain chieftaincy contractors and would, therefore, expose anybody who tried to instigate disputes.

In a welcoming address, Nana Gyan said the people had plans to launch a 200 million cedis education fund to sponsor the education of needy children in the town.

He expressed concern over the falling standards of education and poor enrolment of school children at Bisease and appealed to citizens of the town resident abroad, businessmen and philanthropists to contribute generously towards the fund.

Nana Gyan expressed regret that Ajumako with a population of 27,000 people has only one KVIP toilet and appealed to the district assembly to increase the facility to meet the demand of the people.

Mr John Okyere, National Chairman of Bisease Youth Development Association, appealed to the citizens of Bisease, who have not yet paid their development levy, to pay.
