The Member of Parliament for Nkawkaw constituency, Mr. Joseph Frempong has cut sod for the construction of an ultramodern community Health Center for Amanfrom, one of the sub-towns within the Kwahu West Municipality.
Speaking at the event on Friday, January 20, Mr. Frempong said, “this project is a self-help project and urged everybody to offer their input. He said GHC420,000 will be used for the project of which they are not demanding a penny from the community.
He commended the Chiefs of Obomeng for giving out the land for this project.
He also urged the community members to help with communal labour to steadfast the progress of the project.
He added that beds and the necessary equipment will be provided when the health center is completed.
Ending his speech, Mr. Frempong said, “we are hoping a year by this time, we shall open the health center”.
“We are also pleading with the chiefs to engage the community for a better project,” he said.
Lawyer Yaw Owusu Addo, the Municipal Chief Executive for Nkawkaw added that there was a need for the construction of the new health center for Nkawkaw – Amanfrom to ease the pressure, as most of the municipality’s major state infrastructures have been converged at one place, hence the need to expand the developmental projects in the municipality.
He revealed that a new school will be constructed at Nkawkaw – Kwaku Dwura in February.
A new market will also be constructed at Nkawkaw – Nsuta to ease the pressures at the central and the Agbogbloshie markets.
Nana Osei Kissi, representative of Obomeng Hene said, this is a great feat because the state of some health centers in most local areas under Kwahu West is fast deteriorating and are not enough to serve its communities. He also urged the community to support the growth of the project.
He thanked the MP and his team for the massive work done for other places like Abepotia health center and others.
