Mr David Adakurugu, District Chief Executive (DCE), called on the central government to deepen the decentralisation concept, since the involvement of the citizenry at the grassroots level would contribute in the decision making process to ensure development.
He said the Assembly was prepared to incorporate the views of the people in its plans and programmes which would eventually reflect the needs of the area.
Mr Adakurugu mentioned a number of efforts taken in the last three years to promote security, including collaboration among the security agencies in the border towns.
He said pragmatic measures had been put in place to raise the level of local generated revenue for the assembly, and as at last year, revenue increased from GH?279,193.55 to GH? 332,999, representing 19.27 per cent increase.
The DCE appealed to government to give a second look at the road network since it held the key to development in the area.**
