Mr Ernest Akubuor Debrah, Brong-Ahafo Regional Minister said on Wednesday that the people's assembly concept is a mark of good governance in the successful execution of governmental policies for the orderly and accelerated development of the country.
Speaking at Goaso in the Asunafo district of the region at a people's assembly, he noted that on assumption of office, the Government, among others had five main objectives of infrastructure development.
These include the construction of new roads and rehabilitation of old ones, provision of electricity, inputs support and credit facilities, provision of educational facilities and establishment of agro-based industries.
The Regional Minister explained that the achievement of these and other objectives could only be possible when good governance, which provides the enabling environment for industrial growth and smooth economic take off, was entrenched as part of the country's democratic system.
He announced that a second High Court, after Sunyani, had been opened at Wenchi, and soon another would be opened at Goaso for the speedy administration of justice in the region.
Mr Debrah further explained a number of government policies, including the HIPC initiative, benefits being derived from the Health Insurance Policy, and the possible increase of fuel prices.
