Mr Agbo-Tetteh said donor funded projects were progressing steadily

but the challenge facing them was how to raise counterpart funds. "We have managed to complete three out of the five projects sponsored by the European Union (EU)," he said. These are a culvert at Abanse, a three-unit classroom at Evangelical Presbyterian (EP) School at Kpong as well as 16-seat place of convenience at Kpong Lolonya.

Mr Agbo-Tetteh said the district had been allocated a grant of GHC 52,740 under the Community-Based Rural Development Project and that the assembly had decided to put up staff quarters at Aklomuase to accommodate some members of staff. He said he was not happy about how the administration was facing challenges from landlords who were thwarting their efforts to bring development projects into the district.

The site earmarked for the construction of the four-unit staff bungalow was under litigation while another family had threatened legal action against the assembly for the use of a portion of the Agormanya market.
