One Million Dollar Per Constituency Not Meant To Put Money On The Table Of MMDCEs.... Twifo Ati-Morkwa DCE

In line with the mandate of Coastal Development Authority (CODA) to alleviate poverty and empower the vulnerable in society, CODA has completed a well furnished six-unit class room block at Twifo Morkwa (Morkwa basic school) in the Twifo Ati-Morkwa District of the Central Region.

The project is being funded through the one-million-dollar one constituency program through the Infrastructure for Poverty Eradication Programme (IPEP) under the Ministry of Special Development Initiatives (MSDI).

During a mini ceremony to Commission the project, the District Chief Executive of Twifo Ati-Morkwa Hon. Robert Agyemang Nyantakyi said the initiative was not meant to put money on the table of Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies but to enable them to benefit in the form of developmental projects.

Hon Nyantakyi cited a 1,000 metric tonnes warehouse located in the district, CHPS Compounds, a number of mechanize boreholes across the District and ongoing and completed markets centres in District, schools among others as some projects that have been funded from the initiative.

The DCE addressing the media thanked the President of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for his continuous support for the people of Ghana. He explained that through the one-million-dollar one constituency initiative, the Twifo Ati-Morkwa Constituency has benefited their share of the national cake. He also thanked the Chiefs and people for honoring the invitation and also expressed his satisfaction for their unending support towards all developmental projects within the District.

Addressing the chiefs and people of the Twifo Morkwa, the CEO of CODA, Lawyer Jerry Ahmed Shaib said the President in 2016 promised Ghanaians that when he is voted into office, he will allocate one million dollars per constituency to help in socio-economic development in every constituency in the country. According to him, the President has fulfilled his promise by bringing development to the doorstep of the people.

He affirmed that several developmental projects has been undertaken by CODA including an astroturfs, classroom blocks, market centres, mechanize boreholes, roads among others across the country.

He finally thanked the chiefs and people for their support and prayed that they will ensure that they will keep supporting the good works in order to bring development to people. He also thanked the media for their collaboration and advised them to be circumspect with their reportage since some propagandist wants to make one million dollar per constituency initiative unpopular.

  AFTER YEARS OF MINING IN AKWATIA – GHANA’S NEW ARTIFICIAL LAKE, THE ASUBONE STORY AND OUR TOURISM DRIVE  ABSTRACT.... H. BRAKO Diamonds were first discovered in the Gold Coast Colony (Ghana) near the Birim River close to the town of Abomosu in 1919. The Birim diamond discoveries led mining companies to invest along that river. However, not until 1929 did organized diamond mining begin following additional diamond discoveries made by Ghanaian prospectors in the gravels of Bediebewu streams near Tarkwa. In 1924, the Consolidated African Selection Trust (CAST) was formed and became the major diamond mining company in Ghana. Over 2 million carats were mined by CAST from 1924 to 1939. CAST’s early success led to investment in other diamond exploration and mining ventures in West Africa particularly in Ghana – resulting in the establishment of Great Consolidated Diamond (GCD).  1n 1963 Lake Asubone was created artificially in Asubone near Akwatia in Denkyembour District of Gh...
