The Chief Executive (MCE) of the La Nkwantanang Madina Municipal Assembly (LANMA), Hon. Jennifer Dede Adjabeng has engaged residents of Teiman Electoral Area on how to accelerate development in the area.
The occasion which had a massive turn-out of Chiefs, opinion leaders, faith-based organizations, Religious leaders and Residential Associations afforded the MCE the opportunity to interact with the people and at firsthand abreast herself with the concerns of the residents as she took turn to address some of the issues raised by the residence during an open forum session.
“I am happy about the turn out and I will be happy if all communities respond to our calls in this manner”. Said Mrs. Dede.
Residents raised concerns over the poor nature of roads within the Teiman Electoral area, lack of access to portable drinking water, security among other key issues.
In her response, the Hon. MCE assured residents that three contractors are working on three different tranches of roads and drainages within the Teiman Township but had to halt work for an ongoing re-scoping of the project in order to make room for storm drains which are key to the project given the nature of the town.
“We are still working together with urban roads and we are looking at re-scoping the project to cater for storm drains which are not part of the initial project. We need to make way for the flood water”. She said.
“The areas behind the Methodist church are storm drain reserves and need to be cleared before the project can commence”. She added.
On the issues of sanitation, she admonished the residence to register their various properties with refuse collecting companies in adherence with the operation clean your frontage campaign initiative.
