KKDA COMMISSIONS THREE PROJECTS
The Assembly on Monday 13th January, 2014, cut sod for the construction of projects that have been awarded to contractors for execution. The three projects have been estimated to cost a total of GH¢ 338,000.00
The projects include the construction of a 32- shed market shed at Kpone, a 10-seater water closet at Kpone, a three unit junior high school block at Saki Mlitsakpo. The market and classroom project according to the technocrats will be completed in a period of four months however, the toilet is expected to be completed in two months.
The Member of Parliament for the area, Nii Laryea Afotey Agbo, who also doubles as the volta regional minister together with the Paramount Chief of Kpone,Nii Tetteh Out II and the District Chief Executive, Hon. Alhajie E. A. Tetteh, jointly cut the sod to symbolise the commencement of the construction work.
The District Chief Executive in his comments appealed to the people of Saki Mlitsakpo to make good of use of the schools by sending their wards to school. He also urged the people to help the Assembly in its development agenda so that the District can make strides in development. He also added that, the Assembly had awarded a number of suppliers to supply office equipment, computers and accessories and office furniture for distribution to the various centralised units, decentralised departments and the area councils. He promised that, he was of the believe that with the supply of the various items, the Area councils would have been ready to kick start operations.
In his speech, the MP lamented over the rapid encroachment on the land earmarked for the construction of the Kpone Senior High School. He appealed to the Chiefs present at the ceremony to make available an alternative land for the project to begin with some urgency. He went on further to state that no manner of encroachment would be entertained on the land earmarked for the three projects that are to be started. He also pointed out that, the Tema-Kpone road construction stalled due to the dilapidated nature of the bridge, he however, intimated that, the contractor would soon move to site once the bridge is replaced.
Nii Tetteh Otu II was very grateful but expressed his fears that, he only hoped beneficiaries of the stalls would also not sublet them to other third parties and also entreated his people to patronise the market.
