Association to mobilise funds/materials for development at home

Kasoa (C/R), July 12, GNA - Members of the Kasoa branch of the Brong Ahafo Citizens Association (BACA) have decided to mobilise financial and material resources to supplement the implementation of educational and health development projects being executed by the government in the region.

This would be achieved through special contributions and fund raising harvests.

The Association would soon launch a long-term programme to offer intensive periodic education to people in remote communities of the Brong Ahafo Region on health insurance and other important government policies designed to better the socio-economic status of Ghanaians. Chief Inspector Asamoah Darkoh, Chairman of the Kasoa branch of BACA, announced this at an emergency executive meeting at which plans for the first anniversary celebration of the Kasoa branch was finalised. The First Lady, Mrs Theresa Kufuor would be the special guest of honour for the event slated for the coming Saturday, July 14.

Mr J.K. Opoku, Secretary of the Association said all NPP and NDC MPs in the Brong Ahafo Region, as well as Ministers of State who hail from the region have also been invited to use the occasion as a platform to sensitise hundreds of Brong Ahafo citizens resident in and around Kasoa on issues pertaining to the development of their respective constituencies and the region as a whole.

Mr. Aboagye Gyabaah, father of the Kasoa branch of BACA, expressed the hope that MPs and Ministers of State from the region would attach great importance to the invitation extended to them by leaders of the Association to grace the occasion in their numbers to exhibit the true spirit of oneness and the sense of belonging that binds them together as members of one formidable family of the region in spite of their political affiliations.

Mr Gyabaah said BACA is a non-governmental and non-partisan organisation which embraces the entire citizenry of the Brong Ahafo Region whose main objective was to unite people from the region for effective and meaningful development of the region hence the invitation of all the key public figures of the region to participate in this memorable event.
