Ghana news–The newly elected and first presiding member of the Asokwa Municipal Assembly, Mr Elliot Fosu Barnor says nothing but the development of Asokwa is his primary concern.
According to him, Asokwa has for long lagged behind in terms of infrastructural development, especially good roads, adding the time has come to reverse the worrying trend.
Speaking to the Ghanaian Observer Newspaper after being sworn in at the Assembly, Mr Barnor mentioned his commitment to seeking to have massive development projects in the elite community.
Together with the Member of Parliament (MP) and the various assemblymen in the area, the PM indicated his resolve to pursue a vigorous development agenda for the peaceful community.

Mr Barnor noted his determination to seek partnership with other sister countries whose local assembly system is strong so as to exchange ideas and programs for the benefit of its people.
‘’As a newly created Municipality we will be committed to cutting our teeth early as we strive to strike partnerships with both local and foreign groups so as to ensure our development process is hastened for a better future for our youth and others’’, Mr Barnor stated.
COMMITMENT:
With the Municipality yet to get a Chief Executive, the PM noted plans to partner with anyone who is appointed to head the Assembly to ensure the community is developed at a faster pace.
