Wamfie marks independence anniversary

Mr. Isaac Kwasi Kyeremeh, the Dormaa East District Chief Executive , has called for a Ghanaian language to be used at national functions since the English Language posed as a barrier to effective communication with especially those at the grassroots level.

“There is the need for the people of this country to be disciplined and to do away with the old and colonial ways of doing things”, he said and added that the

government was ensuring the sustainable development of the district,.

Mr Kyereme said the government supplied a quantity of 2,938 and 2,590 school uniforms to basic schools in the district in 2010 and 2011 respectively and as well as exercise books and dual desks.

Techiman Municipal Assembly disbursed a total of GHC6, 239,686.54 towards the construction of three unit, six unit and 12 unit classroom blocks and a two-unit kindergarten in the municipality.
