In attendance were Nana Mensah Attakorah II, Chief of Bonsa No.2, Augustine Quaicoe, Constituency Organizer for NPP Tarkwa-Nsuaem Constituency, Fuseini Amadu, Assistant Constituency Secretary and Assembly Member for Ahwetieso/Agona Electoral Area, Municipal Feeder Roads Engineer etc. He pointed out that President Akufo Addo, Hon Dr. Kweku Afriyie, Western Regional Minister and Hon George Mireku Duker, MP for Tarkwa-Nsuaem Constituency will all be present to perform the sod cutting ceremony in the coming days, he said.
