The chiefs, elders and the people of Botodwina in the Mpohor District of the Western Region have benefitted from a newly constructed enhanced CHP Compound completed by the hardworking District Chief Executive, Hon. Ignatius Assah Mensah and handed over to the District Director of Health, Mr. Wilhelmina Duah at a colourful ceremony at Botodwina.

The project, according to Hon. Ignatius Assah Mensah was started by the previous administration with funds from the District Assembly Common Fund (D.A.C.F.) and was at 15% stage of completion when he took over in 2017.

He said since it is the vision and directive from His Excellency, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo that all ongoing projects handed over to MMDCEs by the past administration to continue working, he engaged the contractor who was then not paid a penny to continue and execute the project for the people of Botodwina and the surrounding villages in the Mpohor District.

It was all joy at Botodwina, since according to the people it is the first time they have benefitted from the national cake and thanked the DCE for God's blessings and protection.

The District Health Director, Wilhelmina Duah was most grateful to the DCE for completion of the project that will go a long way to assist the community in preventing health care and also educating the people on health care delivery.

She promised to provide a midwife to assist pre- and post-Natal care since the people travel tens of kilometres to the nearby health centre at Shama.

The Chief of Botodwina, in a speech read for him thanked the President and DCE for the project and promised his support for the government and commended the DCE for his exemplary performance in his one-year administration.

In a short ceremony with the opinion leaders at the community, the DCE advised the people to take care of the facility for it is the vision of the President, His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to provide good clean drinking water to all deprived communities in the District.

The people were full of praises for the DCE for the kind gesture.
