Twifo praso: Residents of Twifo Praso, the capital of the Twifo-Atti-Morkwa District in the Central Region, have expressed appreciation for the installation of solar streetlights under the government's 24-hour economy initiative. Dressmakers, hairdressers, fashion designers, and various business operators praised the District Chief Executive (DCE), Mr. Isaac Yawson, for his commitment to the development of the district.
According to Ghana News Agency, the solar lighting project is expected to enhance economic activities by enabling businesses to operate effectively both day and night, especially during power outages. The residents noted that the project would improve security and create a more conducive environment for businesses and social activities.
However, they appealed to the DCE to also address the poor condition of roads in the district, particularly the Twifo Praso-Bimpon Agya-Kyeaboso road. They explained that the road becomes difficult to use during the rainy season, making it challenging for farmers and traders to transport their goods to the Twifo Praso market.
Abena Oforiwaa, a dressmaker, Ama Dansowaa, a fashion designer, and Adwoa Obenwaa, a businesswoman, praised the Assembly for the gesture, recounting how it would impact their livelihoods. Mr. Yawson urged Ghanaians to prioritize development and livelihood opportunities when making electoral decisions, emphasizing the need to vote based on policies and progress rather than political party affiliations.
