The Asokwa Municipal Assembly has rolled out a sweeping series of infrastructure projects funded through its Internally Generated Fund (IGF) and the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF), targeting improvements in healthcare, education, sanitation, and local governance.
Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) Hon. Amoh Kamel announced the developments during a media walkthrough of the municipality’s newly transformed, modern General Assembly Hall.
According to Mr Kamel, the assembly hall upgrade was designed to provide a better working environment for Assembly members during official sessions.
He noted that the project fulfils a statutory directive requiring municipal assemblies to reinvest at least 20 per cent of their IGF into capital development projects.
”We are using our IGF in the best way to benefit the good people of Asokwa,” Mr Kamel stated, emphasising the assembly’s focus on localised development.
Beyond administrative infrastructure, IGF revenues are backing several critical community developments.
Active works, he said, include a five-seater sanitation facility at St Mary’s in Kyirapatre, a senior staff residential bungalow for administrative personnel, and various additional classroom blocks and public washrooms distributed across the district.
Mr Kamel highlighted that the assembly is leveraging its DACF allocation to plug long-standing gaps in public health and basic education.
Healthcare capacity in the municipality is set for an immediate boost, with two new health centres nearing completion: the facility at Atonsu is 100 per cent complete and awaiting official commissioning, while the Ahensan health centre has reached 98 per cent completion.
In education, construction is progressing on a new kindergarten block at S Line, currently standing at 72 per cent completion, alongside work on a modern six-unit classroom block at Oti.
He said the Oti facility will be named in honour of Lady Julia, wife of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, and is set to operate a hybrid curriculum model designed to better prepare pupils for the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
Mr Kamel emphasised that this dual-funding strategy ensures the municipality continuously meets pressing infrastructural needs while strengthening core social services for residents.
For his part, Presiding Member of the Assembly, Nana Yaw Wiredu, commended the MCE for the initiative, noting that it will spur the development of the municipality
