Nana Kwame Adunya III, Chief of Agyampoma (L)
Nana Kwame Adunya III, Chief of Agyampoma, has made a passionate appeal to the government, NGOs, and other stakeholders to support the development of his community.
The community located in the Upper Denkyira East of the Central Region, faces numerous challenges that hinder its growth and the well-being of its people.
The community with a population of about 1,000 needs basic infrastructure, including modern healthcare facilities, good roads, and access to clean drinking water.
The lack of these essential services has created desperation among community members, with the most pressing concern being the difficulty in accessing medical care, particularly for pregnant women due to the poor nature of the road.
The residents are often forced to carry expectant mothers on wooden boards to receive medical attention.
This is not only a harrowing experience for the women but also poses a significant risk to their health and that of their babies.
Farmers in the community also face significant challenges in transporting their produce to market centres, resulting in post-harvest losses and subsequent economic hardship.
Also, lack of network coverage further exacerbates the situation, making it difficult for residents to communicate with loved ones and access essential services.
Daniel Azumah, the assembly member for Denkyira Agyampoma and Dansokurom electoral area, has been pushing their concerns at the Assembly for redress but to no avail.
He had also added his voice to the Chiefs for the government and other stakeholders to provide support to enable his electoral area to access essential services like healthcare, clean water, and decent roads.
“It is imperative that the government, NGOs, and other stakeholders respond to our appeal and work together to address the pressing challenges faced by Denkyira Agyampoma.
“By doing so, our community will soon thrive and reach its full potential for the benefits of all,” Mr Azumah added.
