Inhabitants of Kwadaso have appealed to the Kwadaso Municipal Assembly of the Ashanti Region to as a matter of urgency complete the abandoned fire service station constructed by Assembly member, Hon. Ofosu Agyemang to enable them fight fire outbreak in the municipality.

The project has been roofed, plastering and painted only left with light and equipment to make the facility function,” a resident Mr Kwakyi Appiah Kubi told Akwadaa Nyame.
He said several appeals to the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Iddrisu Mariam, and the Member of Parliament (MP) for Sagnarigu, Alhaji ABA Fuseini, have gone unheeded.

Ofosu Agyemang who initiated the project and started with his own pocket money in a phone interview said, he doesn’t have any money again to complete the station hence appealing to the assembly to come in to expedite action on the project to be operationalized.
“If the authorities don’t complete the project, the structure will waste away, so we are appealing to the MCE to work on it as soon as possible to give us relief,” he stressed.
Hon. Ofosu Agyemang disclosed that, the assembly has visited the project.
