Zenu, Sept. 24, GNA – Mr. Samuel Tetteh Kwashie Morton, the Kpone-Katamanso Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), has begun a series of community engagements with residents in the municipality as part of efforts to deepen inclusiveness and strengthen local governance.
The first round of meetings took place in the Sraha and Bossah Electoral Areas, where he interacted with residents, opinion leaders, and stakeholders to deliberate on developmental needs and challenges within their communities.
Mr. Morton assured the residents that the government remained committed to ensuring that Kpone-Katamanso got its fair share of the national cake, stressing that his leadership would prioritise development projects that directly impact the lives of the people.
He emphasised that accountability and transparency would be the guiding pillars of his administration, noting that the assembly would operate an open-door policy to ensure residents had access to information on how resources were being managed.
“Our goal as a municipality is to work hand in hand with you, the people, because development is a shared responsibility; we will be transparent in our dealings, accountable in our actions, and above all, responsive to your needs,” he said.
The MCE highlighted that infrastructure, education, sanitation, and youth development would be at the top of the KKMA’s agenda, adding that the community engagement sessions would help shape policies and projects to meet the specific priorities of the electoral areas.
The MCE reiterated his call for active community participation, stressing that development would be more meaningful if residents contributed ideas and worked closely with the Assembly.
Residents of the Sraha and Bossah Electoral Areas within the Kpone-Katamanso municipality welcomed the initiative and commended the MCE for creating a platform where they could voice their concerns and contribute to the municipality’s growth.
Some community members called for improved drainage systems, better road networks, and expanded educational facilities to ease overcrowding in schools.
The community engagement exercise will be extended to other electoral areas in the coming weeks as part of efforts to promote inclusivity and shared responsibility in governance.
