Glitame (VR), Feb 21, GNA – Mr Elliot Edem
Agbenorwu, Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Ketu South has appealed to
indigenes of the area to vote massively for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in
the upcoming general election for unprecedented development in the area.
He said the current government had undertaken
a lot of programmes and policies including; the Free Senior High School, Nation
Builders Corps (NaBCo), restoration of allowances for trainee teachers and
nurses and, local government scholarship to directly impact lives, adding,
“everyone in the municipality is a living testimony to development projects
going on in the Assembly.”
The MCE said he spent his first year in office
completing projects initiated by the previous administration, while initiating
and completing projects in every sector of the economy and that the government
needed four more years to do more.
He said this on during the commissioning of a
3-unit classroom block with ancillary facilities for pupils and staff of
Glitame Basic School to address challenges impeding effective teaching and
learning there.
Mr Agbenorwu who started his speech quoting
Philippians 4:13 from the Bible, “I can do all things through Christ who
strengthens me” called on citizens of Glitame and Ketu South to retain the NPP
government in power to continue to have an NPP MCE and also vote for Mr David
Tiahno, the NPP Parliamentary candidate in the December polls for more
development projects.
He said the National Democratic Congress
(NDC), which over the years enjoyed tremendous support of the Municipality, did
little in appreciation of the people’s loyalty saying, there were “ministers,
deputy ministers, members of Parliament and MCEs from this Municipality in NDC
government yet problems abounded.”
Mr Marvelous Degbor, the Head teacher, Glitame
Basic School thanked the MCE and the government for the timely intervention
saying, the lack of classrooms compelled classes to be combined, while teaching
and learning went on under sheds and in the open.
“Teaching and learning in the school has been
difficult. Though we made several calls for help, nothing changed, but when
this new government came, we approached the Assembly and we got 40 desks
earlier and now, this new block. These will help the school to improve on its academic
fortunes.”
Mr Michael Tsuiatorfe, Municipal Director of
Education hoped the facilities would enhance academic work.
