Kpodo happy with progress of projects in Ho

Mr Benjamin Kpodo, Member of Parliament for Ho Central has expressed satisfaction at the progress of various projects initiated by the government in the Constituency.

He said he was content that development projects were “dotted” all over the Constituency, an indication of the commitment of the Ho Municipal Assembly, the MP and central government to bring development to the people.

Mr Kpodo said this in an interaction with journalists after touring the Constituency with some National Democratic Congress (NDC) loyalists and representatives of transport unions and traders in the Ho Central Market.

He said though quite a number of projects were yet to be completed, he was happy with the progress of work on them and how almost every community could boast of a development project under the NDC “Better Ghana Agenda”.

The MP toured sites of projects being undertaken by the Ho Municipal Assembly, the central government and those initiated and being supported by him.

At Takla, he assured the chiefs and the people that a six-unit classroom block, initiated by him to replace a dilapidated one would soon be completed for use.

He also reassured that the Kpeno-Takla-Nyive road had been approved for construction and would soon be tarred.

Mr Kpodo was happy work on the reconstruction of the Ho Central Market was 40 percent complete and hopeful the work, under the Ghana Urban Management Pilot Project (GUMPP) would be done by November as scheduled.

At Ziavi-Lume, he commended workers for the “quality of job” being done on a basic school project and commissioned part of the two-storey classroom block he was putting up for the Ho Nurses Training College for use next academic year.

Mr Kpodo and the team also visited the Ho Landfills site, a modern abattoir and a host of basic schools classroom blocks under construction in the Constituency.

They also toured the permanent campus of the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS), which is awaiting official commissioning for use next month.
