Kpedze (Volta Region) 20 April
A number of roads in the the Volta region, including the phase two of the Kpedze - Bame and Sogakofe-Ho-Fume roads are receiving serious attention. Mr Francis Agbotse, Member of Parliament (MP) for Ho-West who announced this last Saturday, however regretted that the latter project was moving at a slow pace. Briefing chiefs and assembly-members in his constituency on the progress of development projects in the area, Mr Agbotse said efforts were being made to extend potable water from the Kpeve water headworks to a number of communities, including Abutia-Kloe, Bame, Anfoeta and Tsito.
Mr Kofi Attoh, MP for Ho-Central, called for the formation of district houses of chiefs to serve as a platform for the promotion of peace and unity to accelerate development. "These autonomous houses could also serve as mouthpieces for chiefs so that pertinent issues concerning chieftaincy as an institution can be discussed."
The chiefs expressed grave concern about the slow pace of development in the region.
