impressive opening address, the presiding member for Tano South Municipal
Assembly thanked Hon. Assembly Members for making time out of their busy
schedule to attend the programme. He said failure on the part of Tano South
Municipal Assembly for the release of motorbikes during the first quarter of
this year to Hon. Assembly Members made them took a decision to boycott
Assembly meeting but when management of the Assembly intervened the matter they
assured them that management would do all they can to provide them with the motorbikes and hinted that it
is upon the assurance given to Hon. Members by management that Assembly has
commissioned and distributed fifty- seven motorbikes to Hon. Assembly
Members.
The Presiding
Member, Hon John Dadzie speaking at the programme
The MCE for Tano South,
Hon. Collins Offinam Takyi congratulated Minister for Local Government and
Rural Development for taking a bull by the horn to procure fifty –seven
motorbikes to Hon. Members in the Tano South Municipality to enhance the work
of the Assembly members. He said among the Districts and Municipal Assemblies
in Brong Ahafo Region, Tano South Municipal Assembly has the highest Assembly
Members and for that matter, the Municipality has recorded highest number of
motorbikes and informed them to use the motorbikes for their intended purposes.
The
MCE for Tano South addressing the gathering
Hon. Takyi said, one of
the problems which caused Tano South Municipal Assembly to delay the
distribution of motorbikes to Hon. Assembly Members is that management of the
Assembly made efforts to obtain motor licenses and registration number for each
Assembly Member and since all efforts have proofed futile, he informed every
beneficiary to take due processes to acquire motor license and registration
number before putting it into operation.
Lastly, he used the
occasion to catalogue some of the achievements of government and also informed
them on some of the projects planned to execute in the Municipality by the Tano
South Municipal Assembly.
Hon Benjamin Yeboah Sekyere, the Deputy
Minister for Ahafo Region and Member of Parliament for Tano South Constituency
urged beneficiaries of the motorbikes to obey road safety regulations to make
them live longer to serve the people at their electoral areas in the
Municipality and said government under the leadership of Nana Addo Dankwa
Akufo-Addo has passed a bill into law of which all MMDCEs will be elected in
2021 by legible voters and said a referendum on the election of MMDCEs will be
conducted by electoral commissioner in no time and informed all Assembly
Members to take part of the exercise whenever it commences in the
Municipality.
