Accra, July 27, GNA \u2013 The Ga East Municipal Assembly has held its First Ordinary Meeting of the Fifth General Assembly at Abokobi in the Greater Accra Region with a call on members to familiarise themselves with its working documents.<\/p>\n
The Municipal Chief Executive, Mr John Kwao Sackey told members: \u201cThat is the only way you can make meaningful contributions not only in the House during debates but would also enable you to educate the electorates in your various electoral areas.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said the assembly had made positive gains in its attempt to achieve the vision and mission it had set for itself.<\/p>\n
He said some of the progress made by the assembly had attracted international recognition and charged members to contribute their quota to achieve more for their areas.<\/p>\n
Mr Sackey said the Ga East Municipal Assembly had gained particular recognition through the Ghana School Feeding Programme (GSFP) and that the municipality had received over five delegations and researchers who came to study how the District Implementation Committee (DIC) had been organising and implementing the GSFP.<\/p>\n
The MCE who also talked about the National Youth Employment Programme, staff capacity building, projects and programmes, said many of the projects that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) regime inherited from the previous administration were ongoing and had either reached an advanced stage now or nearing completion.<\/p>\n
He mentioned Information Communication technology (ICT) structures, markets, educational infrastructure and the road network as some of the projects being executed by the assembly.<\/p>\n
On Agriculture, Mr Sackey said the sector continued to play a critical role in the national economy despite challenges, adding that government had put in some interventions to help farmers in their work.<\/p>\n
\u201cGovernment is subsidising fertiliser to enable our farmers produce more crops through the reduction of fertiliser prices,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The MCE commended the assembly members for their hard work and urged them to embark on more developmental projects in their electoral areas.<\/p>\n
The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Nii Armah Ashitey, advised the assembly members to enforce the bye-laws in their electoral areas and partner with the Police and the relevant authorities to solve the security challenges confronting their areas.<\/p>\n
He deplored the recent riots at the Madina Zongo Junction and charged assembly members to ensure peace in the areas, saying they should report problems before they escalated.<\/p>\n
Nii Armah Ashitey, therefore, advised members to work with chiefs and queen mothers to develop the area.<\/p>\n
The Second Deputy Speaker in Parliament, Professor Mike Ocquaye, called for the formation of taskforces in various communities to enforce bye-laws, especially to ensure safe, clean and pleasant human settlement.<\/p>\n
He further tasked the assembly members to embark on civic education to educate their electorates on developments in the area.<\/p>\n
On his part, the Administrator of the Madina Zonal Council, Mr Kennedy Cobbah said Madina was fast becoming a business hub and appealed to the government to provide the Council with a double deck pick-up vehicle to enable it to carry out its routine operations.<\/p>\n
In a related development, the Chief Environmental Health Officer for the Madina Zonal Council, Mr Daniel Opare, said his outfit faced constraints and asked the Government to rehabilitate the Madina Zonal Council block which, he said, was built in the 1960’s and had seen no renovation.<\/p>\n
He further called on the government to provide the Council with uniforms and computers to motivate workers to give of their best.<\/p>\n
