The Effutu Municipal Assembly is liaising with the Ministry of Local Government to examine the possibility of constructing a bio-digester for the disposal of liquid waste.
The Effutu Municipal Chief Executive, Nii Ephraim, who made this known at an Effutu Assembly meeting in Winneba, said the digester is estimated to cost $500,000.
On the Internally Generated fund (IGF), he said as at the end of April 2012, a total of GH¢104,726.23 out of estimated amount of GH¢429,149.99 have been collected, representing 24%.
Nii Ephraim said the Assembly had been selected to benefit from the Local Service Delivery and Governance Programme, and the funds would be provided for the opening up of access roads.
He said one school has been added to the five schools on the school feeding programme, bringing the total number of children to 3,379.
He said the Assembly had passed the Functional Organizational Assessment Tool (FOAT) for 2010, and would therefore benefit from the disbursement of the District Development Fund (DDF).
The DDF is a development fund from donors, which districts can only benefit from on passing some good governance bench marks.
The Executive Committee, in a report to the Assembly, recommended that the Assembly put in place measures to check the putting up of structures without documentations.
It called for proper documentation of state lands within the Municipality since lack of documentation could lead to encroachment.
The Member of Parliament for the Effutu, Mr. Mike Hammah, appealed to the Assembly to create land banks to attract investors to the area.
Mr. Hammah, who is also Minister for Lands and National Resources, commended the people in the Effutu Traditional Area for the peaceful manner they celebrated the Aboakyer festival.
The Presiding Member of the Assembly, Very Rev. Eldad Bonney appealed to members of the Assembly to educate their electorates on the need to have peaceful elections in December.**
