The beneficiary communities are Bewadze, Asamoakrom and Fante Bawjiase. The centres are to provide a conducive environment for the people in the three communities to gather to discuss development issues.
All the three projects which are being financed by the MP are estimated at GH75, 000.
At a ceremony to announce the commencement of work on the community centres, Mrs Pokuah Sawyerr said that the projects were going to be undertaken simultaneously and expected to be completed within three months.
“As the MP for this area, I would ensure that every community within the constituency has its share of development projects being prosecuted by the government throughout the country,” she said.
She indicated that for the past two years, a number of communities which hitherto had no electricity had been connected to the national grid under the government’s Rural Electrification Project.
According to her, the government, led by President John Dramani Mahama, would initiate policies and programmes tailored towards addressing the needs of the people within her constituency and elsewhere.
Mrs Pokuah Sawyerr, who is also the Deputy Central Regional Minister, stressed that “ I would not be partisan in the discharge of my duties and pledge to work with everyone, irrespective of their political affiliation, for the development of the district.”
