Johnson Kwabena Adom, the Techiman North District Chief Executive (DCE) in the Bono East Region, has cautioned contractors executing government projects in the local communities against shoddy work.

He urged them to speed up and ensure value for money by executing quality work and endeavour to complete those projects on time.

Adom gave the caution in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) after he inspected the progress of work on some projects being funded by the District Assembly Common Fund (DACF) in the area.

He said the execution of the educational and health facilities in the localities would improve access and enhance the quality of life of the people.

Adom commended President John Dramani Mahama and Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, the Member of Parliament for Techiman North, for their efforts towards advancing the physical infrastructure development of the area.

He gave the assurance that the District Assembly would ensure the prudent and transparent utilization of the DACF for development purposes.

Nana Yeboah Afena Akumsah, the Chief of Bridgeso, also commended the government, DCE, and the MP for the ongoing construction of a three-unit Kindergarten block in the community that would create access and promote quality education in the area.

He said the community was fast-growing and appealed for more development projects to meet the needs of the people.

Some of the residents in the area also commended the government for its socio-economic intervention programmes like the Nkoko Nketenkete and the ‘Big Push’ road infrastructure initiatives.

According to them, farming remained the major occupation in the district, saying that the ‘Big Push’ programme would open up the area and create ready markets while the Nkoko Nketenkete would also boost the local poultry industry.

They called on the government to expedite action on the construction of the “Farmer Service Centre” in the area.

The DCE inspected the work on the construction of a six-unit classroom block at Konimase Area Two, as well as a three-unit classroom KG block at Bridgeso, and the Community-based Planning Service (CHPS) compound at Kogoago.

Others were the drilling of a mechanized borehole project at Boadan and Nyamebekyere communities, Bonya CHPS compound, and a borehole project at Kwakunumakura.
