The Ahafo Regional Minister, Charity Gardiner, has urged Municipal and District Chief Executives (MDCEs) and other government appointees in the region to focus on development initiatives that directly improve the lives of local residents.
Speaking to during a regional gathering dubbed the “Family Meeting” held in Goaso, Ms. Gardiner said the event served as a platform for MDCEs and regional appointees to give an account of their stewardship since assuming office.
“The presentations from MDCEs of Tano North, Tano South, Asutifi North, Asutifi South, Asunafo North, Asunafo South, and other regional appointees have provided a clear picture of the areas they are performing well in, and the gaps that must be addressed,” she explained.
She emphasised that recognising both strengths and weaknesses would allow for more targeted development planning and enhance the appeal of the governing party within the Ahafo Region.
Meanwhile, the Member of Parliament for Asunafo North, Haruna Mohammed, commended the Regional Minister for the initiative, describing the meeting as a step in the right direction.
He stressed the importance of unity within the party and revealed that internal conflicts were resolved during the event, thanks to the involvement of fellow MPs Alhaji Collins Dauda and Eric Opoku of Asutifi South and Asunafo South, respectively.
Mr. Mohammed encouraged other regions to adopt similar engagements to advance development and strengthen cohesion within the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
