Under this programme, 32,000 mango seedlings have been raised and distributed to farmers,\u201d he disclosed.<\/p>\n<p>He said he inherited about four projects which had since been completed and handed over to beneficiary communities, with some ongoing projects. \u201cIt is my resolve to complete all so that we don\u2019t get any abandoned project in the area,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The MCE noted that they had received a share in the 25-district $100 million Ghana Secondary Cities Support Programme (GSCSP) through which the Agormanya Market would be redeveloped into a modern market with 300 lockable stores, 2,500 sheds, a police station, a cr\u00e8che and a banking hall.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, he said they had constructed 10 boreholes in the various locations in the municipality, adding that tarring of 10 kilometres of town roads for the area was ongoing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BY Daniel Bampoe<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The MCE Addressing the forum The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Lower Manya Krobo in the Eastern Region, Simeon Tetteh, has said the Akufo-Addo government is committed towards the development of the area in line with the President\u2019s vision to ensure that there is equitable distribution of national resources for the growth of the country.
