Mr Kingsley Adjei-Manu, Bibiani-Anhwiaso-Bekwai District Chief Executive disclosed this to the Ghana News Agency at Bibiani. He said the projects had reached an advanced stage and was optimistic would be completed by the end of the year.

The DCE urged the assembly members to educate the people on good environmental hygiene.
