Deputy Communications Officer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Anyaa Sowutuom Constituency, Ralph Apetorgbor, has lauded the remarkable progress made in the constituency due to numerous impactful projects undertaken by the previous NDC administration.

These initiatives, he said, have significantly enhanced the development in the Ga Central Municipality, contributing to various sectors such as education, sanitation, and essential services.

Speaking in an interview with the Ghanaian Times in Accra, Mr. Apetorgbor highlighted the significant contributions to various sectors, including education, sanitation, and essential services, which have collectively enhanced the development of the Ga Central Municipality.

He detailed the NDC’s prioritization of education, citing the construction of several classroom blocks.

He mentioned the Grata D Shepherd Basic School at Awoshie Last Stop, a two-storey six-unit classroom block at Odorgonnor Model One Basic School, and additional two-storey buildings at Odorgonnor Model Two Basic School and Chantan Experimental Basic School at Tabora-Scorpion as some of the projects undertaken by the NDC in the area.

Further projects, he said, were a multi-storey structure for St. Justin Anglican Primary and Junior High School at Ablekuma Curve and Anyaa Municipal Authority Basic School at Antie Aku.

According to him, road infrastructure was also improved, facilitating smooth transportation and enhancing connectivity within the constituency.

“Major road projects included the four-to-six-lane Awoshie-Pokuase highway, the Kwashiman-Sowutuom-Ofankor road, and other access roads,” he added.

He mentioned that sanitation facilities have also seen significant improvements, including the renovation of a 10-seater toilet facility at Chantan Cluster of Schools, the construction of a new public toilet at Antie-Aku, and at the Anyaa Bus Terminal.

“Additionally, the previous government refurbished the Chantan market and constructed a two-storey building there for offices and stores. Unfortunately, the second phase of this project has been abandoned by the current government,” he added.

Mr. Apetorgbor expressed concern over some projects initiated by the previous government that had been abandoned by the current administration.

He stressed that the NDC government would ensure the completion of these projects, including the abandoned hospital and neglected market at Ablekuma-Abaase if they return to power.

In furtherance, he stated that the past NDC administration also made strides in the provision of essential services by constructing the Municipal Fire Service station at Anyaa, the Anyaa Polyclinic which provides vital health and safety services.

“Additionally, the completed Community-based Health and Planning Services (CHPS) compound at Olebu will be operationalized by the next NDC government. The Anyaa Bus Terminal, once operational, will create numerous employment opportunities and reduce road congestion,” he added.

According to Mr. Apetorgbor, governance and public service were bolstered by the creation of the new Ga Central Municipal Assembly by the NDC government.
