Dr Frank Amoakohene, the Ashanti Regional Minister, has reaffirmed the government’s unwavering commitment to ensuring the completion and operationalisation of the Oforikrom Agenda 111 Hospital project to enhance healthcare delivery in the Municipality.
The facility, which was commissioned by the previous administration during its final months in office, has remained non-operational due to outstanding works and logistical gaps.
Dr Amoakohene, who inspected the site as part of his working visit to the Oforikrom Municipality, assured residents that the government would prioritise the hospital’s completion to make quality healthcare more accessible to the people.
Beyond the Agenda 111 project, Dr Amoakohene emphasised his resolve to ensure the completion of other stalled government projects within the municipality and across the Ashanti Region.
These include the long-abandoned Municipal Chief Executive’s residence and several key infrastructure projects that have remained unfinished for years.
He stressed that the government would not allow public investments to go to waste and would work diligently with relevant agencies to secure the necessary resources for their timely completion.
Dr Amoakohene highlighted the government’s dedication to promoting transparency and accountability in the use of public resources.
He said it was crucial for both leaders and citizens to uphold integrity in governance to foster trust and sustainable development.
The Regional Minister also outlined government’s efforts to improve infrastructure within the municipality and the entire region.
These include the installation of modern traffic lights at critical intersections, such as the Tech Roundabout and the Police Station Junction, to improve road safety and reduce congestion.
According to him, the successful completion of these projects would not only enhance the quality of life for residents but also create a more enabling environment for economic growth and private sector investment in the region.
Dr Amoakohene called on residents to support the government’s initiatives and remain patient as the administration works to deliver on its development agenda.
He reiterated that through collaboration and transparency, the Ashanti Region would continue to benefit from improved infrastructure, better healthcare, and sustained economic progress.
