Apam (C/R), Oct 31, GNA - The Presiding Member of Gomoa
District Assembly, Mr Fred Oscar Abban has commended the government for creating a new District, Gomoa East out of the
existing District. Mr Abban noted that breaking the District, which was the
largest in the Central Region into two, would accelerate
development of the area. Speaking to the Ghana News Agency at Apam, the Presiding
Member said the vast nature of the District had made allocation of
projects difficult. "Satisfying over 300 communities with infrastructure and other
amenities has really been a tedious task," he said. Mr Abban who is also the Acting Headmaster of the Gomoa
Secondary Technical School, said the situation had polarized the District into Gomoa East - Gomoa West dichotomy with the people at times refusing to compromise on unity. The Presiding Member further commended the government for
siting the capital of the new District at Afransi and said that would
bring peace between the two paramountcies - Gomoa Akyempim
and Gomoa Ajumako Traditional Area. Mr Abban called on the people to bury their past differences
and join hands to develop the two Districts for the benefit of Gomoas. 31 Oct. 07
