The people of Abomosu, a farming community in East Akim district of the Eastern region, have announced plans to improve their living standards.

Under the plan, the people are mobilising funds to rehabilitate the 15 access and by-pass roads in the town, they are also planning to collect enough money from their own resources to refurbish the clinic in the area.

Similarly, the people are levying themselves to undertake repair works on the two KVIP public toilets which are now chocked up with the entire buildings cracked here and there and could no longer cater for the ever-growing population.

Talking to Daily Guide at Abomoso at the week-end, Mr Alex Harry Agyekum and Madam Ofosua, assembly members for Nana Danso electoral area and Nana Abu Bonsrah electoral area, respectively, they said social amenities in the areas need to be rehabilitated, because almost all are in deplorable states.

They claimed that their community has over the years been denied the provision of basic human amenities and other developmental projects even though the people have been responding to their obligations to the district assembly. They said the only clinic in the area has been allowed to rot out as it is lacking various facilities that it cannot effectively cater for the health needs of the people.

Pregnant women have to travel long distances before they attend ante-natal and post-natal clinics, and farmers who are bitten by snakes on their farms have to be conveyed long distances before they receive treatments. In the process, some of them die.

The two assembly members have, therefore, appealed to the people to co-operate with them in their desire to improve facilities in the community for them.

They also called on the people to embrace communal efforts in the Abomusu community.
