He called for the renovation of the only g overnment school in the area, the Anglican Basic School, and also provides facilities for the newly constructed Community Health Planning and Services Compound.
Nii Dzahaa urged the Assembly to as a matter of urgency to construct drainage systems in order to prevent the perennial flooding experienced after the slightest rain, and also ensure the reconstruction of the roads in the area.
