Your Taxes and Levies Will Be Used Judiciously – DCE Assures Residents

Accra: Mr. Mba Alenbila Zechariah, District Chief Executive (DCE) for Atwima Nwabiagya North, has assured residents of the judicious use of taxes and levies they pay to the assembly. He stated that these funds would be allocated to enhance physical infrastructure, thereby improving the residents' living conditions and demonstrating accountability for the assembly's work.

According to Ghana News Agency, during a tour of several communities as part of his community engagement programme, the DCE emphasized that property rates, building permits, and other levies paid by residents will be invested in projects that visibly improve community living conditions. The communities visited include Asuofua, Amoaman, Akropong, Atwima-Koforidua, Bokankye, Owabia, Assase, Fufuo, and Asamang.

The DCE highlighted the construction of classroom blocks, provision of educational materials, markets, health facilities, roads, and other social amenities as his administration's priority areas, urging residents for their support. Mr. Zechariah also appealed to farmer groups to register with the District Assembly to benefit from the government's Feed Ghana programme, which offers funds, input, and other support.

Nana Banie Ahenkan II, Queen Mother of Asuofua, praised the government for recent road improvements and requested the completion of ongoing projects. Meanwhile, Nana Dr. Agyenim Boateng, Amoamanhene, reminded the government of its campaign promises and urged the DCE to ensure their fulfillment to enhance residents' livelihoods and validate their confidence in the National Democratic Congress.

The DCE engaged with farmers, business owners, and cooperative societies to exchange ideas, seeking their continuous support.
