22 Assembly members, 10 government appointees and the DCE of the Assembly took one motorbike each to enhance their work.

The procurement of the bikes, championed by the President, Nana Akuffo Addo through the local government ministry is expected to adequately resource them in the delivery of their responsibilities to their electorates.

The Assembly Chief meanwhile charged the beneficiaries to exhibit good maintenance culture for the bikes to ensure that they serve the purpose for their acquisition.
