The challenges of inadequate furniture for schools in the Municipality, fumigation of schools, the functionality of the zonal councils, a final disposal site, fencing of Ntonso Craft Center, supply of motorbikes to security agencies and the planting for export and rural development (PERD) initiative embarking on coconut plantation were also raised.

He asserted that 2021 could be a better year to resolving most of the challenges the Assembly is facing with the support of his committed members. He, however, acknowledged their hard work and toasted their dedication towards every positive course to move Kwabre East forward.

“Kwabre has three main challenges; roads, sanitation and landfill sites, together with educational infrastructures. The rest are good but these are what we’re looking forward to fixing.

“The assembly members have been committed and I'm glad at their mode of work. The job is a dedicated course, they are actually not paid yet they have lived up to what was expected of them and I believe very well that posterity will remember them someday,” he added.
