Kete-Krachi, (V/R), June 22, GNA- A government led by Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party would build a bridge across the Volta Lake at Dambai in the Krachi East District to link the Krachi-West district.

His immediate pre-occupation as President, would be to provide two pontoons on the lake to provide safe transportation between the two districts under the Millennium Challenge Account (MCA), Nana Akufo-Addo said

He gave the promise when he paid a courtesy call on Nana Mprah Besemunah III, Krachiwura during his campaign tour of the Krachi-West District on Saturday.

He said those two projects were vital to promoting socio-economic activities between the two districts and the rest of the Volta Region and the country as well as ensuring safe transportation on the lake.

Nana Akufo-Addo expressed concern at the level of development in the district and pledged to ensure equitable allocation of resources to address development lapses in the district.

Nana Besemunah commended all the political parties for carrying out their campaigns devoid of insults and expressed the hope that they would continue to campaign on issues affecting the development of the country.

He appealed to the government to post a resident medical doctor to the district hospital at Kete-Krachi.
