Domeabra MP appeals for lands for projects

Mr Daoud Anum Yemoh, Member of Parliament (MP) for Domeabra-Obom, has called on chiefs and other landowners in the Constituency to provide lands for the siting of projects.

“I have good intention of providing you with development projects such as a senior high school, a police station, markets, playing fields and other amenities but my problem has been the availability of lands,” he said.

Mr Yemoh made the call when he met with the chiefs and people of Pabieman near Nsawam in the Ga South Municipality of the Greater Accra Region, at the weekend.

He expressed concern that the lands which the people depend upon for their livelihood are being degraded by sand winners.

Mr Yemoh asked landowners to offer land for the establishment of light factories to facilitate the creation of job opportunities for the youth.

He advised women in the constituency to form groups so that he could assist them with micro loans to boost their businesses.

During the interactive section he assured his constituents of efforts to upgrade the road from Nsawam to Kofi Kwei, provide additional boreholes, street-lights, a KVIP facility and the opening of a clinic at Kofi Kwei to save the people from travelling long distances for medical attention.

He also honoured the request of the people by presenting a football and a set of jersey to the community.

The Chief of Pabieman, Nii Pabie II, assured the MP about his cooperation and support for the development of the community and expressed his readiness to provide lands to this effect.**
