When completed, the two-storey block at Akyem Ofoase would accommodate all the decentralised departments in the district operating from rented premises.
Mr Tom Budu, the District Chief Executive, told the GNA that the district was progressing and expressed satisfaction at the rate of work executed so far by the contractor who had roofed the building and completed the wiring in less than two years.
Mr Budu said a District Magistrate Court block, which had been completed and handed over, had taken the burden off the judicial service which was operating from a rented premise.
He said the District Police Commander’s bungalow had also been roofed awaiting finishing touches while work on office accommodation for the District Police Service and the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) was ongoing.
Mr Budu commended staff of the assembly and decentralised departments for their hard work under difficult conditions “taking into account the poor road network and lack of decent residential accommodation.”
He appealed to private estate developers to approach the assembly which is ready to assist them to acquire plots of land under liberal terms to put up buildings for workers.
The Akyemmansa District was carved out of the Birim North District in 2008 and is one of the most deprived districts in the country.
