Posted on by kotopon

In a continuation of the La Dade-Kotopon Municipal Assembly’s commitment to participatory governance, the Honorable Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) recently engaged with members of the La Burma Valley Residents Association. This routine interaction aimed to discuss various issues affecting the residents and to provide insights into the Assembly’s policies, programs, and activities.

The meeting, marked by open dialogue, covered a range of concerns brought forth by the community members. Among the key topics were the misuse of space near the La Cemetery as a dumping site, the proliferation of churches and places of worship in East La Burma Valley and Tse-Addo, noise pollution, unauthorized car parking, unauthorized structures, and squatters in the East La Burma Valley area, the spread of telecom masts, malfunctioning street lights in Tse-Addo, security concerns, demolition, and prosecution of landlords without building permits, and the burning of refuse in the Municipality.

The Municipal Chief Executive, along with relevant technocrats, addressed each issue within their area of responsibility. Following deliberations, it was agreed to conduct a field trip to the dumping sites and affected areas to gain firsthand insights.

Additionally, the meeting recommended the installation of signage prohibiting burning and littering in the municipality. The Environmental Health Unit was tasked with urgently initiating public sensitization campaigns and van announcements to educate residents about bye-laws related to noise, indiscriminate dumping of refuse, littering, and burning of refuse.

Responding to a request from the association, the Assembly pledged support for ornamental flower planting on streets and road reservations to enhance the municipality’s aesthetic appeal.

In his closing remarks, the Honorable MCE disclosed ongoing plans for drainage construction and the repair of malfunctioning streetlights in Tse-Addo to bolster security measures. The association members expressed appreciation for the engagement and the assurances provided by the Hon. MCE to address their concerns.

The meeting concluded on a positive note, with a mutual understanding of the need for continued engagement to deliberate on issues and drive development within the Municipality. The collaborative efforts between the LaDMA and its residents reflect a dedication to building a community that thrives through active participation and shared responsibility.

LaDMA DESILT DRAINS IN THE MUNICIPALITY

The La Dade-Kotopon Municipal Assembly has embarked on massive dredging and desilting to improve flood risk and solid waste management in the targeted flood prone communities in the municipality.

According to the Municipal Roads director, the move is to support mitigation procedures to better manage flooding in the municipality. The ongoing dredging and desilting at Kordjor and Giffard road will be finished before the rains, said the roads director.

Madam Adwoa, the municipal director of roads stated that, for some time now, the municipality has been subjected to perennial flooding occasioned by poor sanitation, drainage, and waste management.

She mentioned that the dredging is been funded by the Greater Accra Resilient and Integrated Development (GARID) projects designed to build the resilience of the national capital with the initial phase covering a five years period from 2020 to 2025 in the flood prone vulnerable communities in Accra while the desilting is funded from the assembly’s IGF and DACF.

Seventeen selected MMDAs in the Greater Accra Region have received specific funds to improve drainage infrastructure under Greater Accra Resilient and Integrated Development (GARID) project, which LaDMA was one of the beneficiary to improve the operation and maintenance (desilting) of drainage and solid waste management, which the assembly is using her funds for the purpose it is meant for.

Supporting Education: Donation of Mathematical Sets to JHS Candidates for 2022

Donated items

As the 2022 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) draws near, various organizations and individuals have started gearing up to support the candidates with materials that will aid them in their preparation for the exams. One of the notable forms of support that is usually provided to candidates is the donation of mathematical sets.

Mathematical sets are essential tools that are needed by candidates to excel in Mathematics and other related subjects. They contain vital items such as compasses, rulers, protractors, and other materials that are required for geometric constructions, measurements, and calculations. Unfortunately, many candidates may not have access to these sets due to various reasons such as financial constraints, lack of awareness, or unavailability of the sets in their communities.

To bridge this gap, the organizers of the 2022 BECE have put in place measures to ensure that candidates receive the necessary support in the form of mathematical sets. These sets will be made available to both private and public candidates, and the distribution will be carried out by various organizations and individuals.

It is worthy to note that the donation of mathematical sets is not just a show of philanthropy, but it also goes a long way in boosting the confidence of candidates. When candidates have access to the necessary tools, they tend to feel more prepared and confident in their ability to excel in the exams.

In conclusion, the donation of mathematical sets to candidates is a laudable initiative that will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the performance of candidates in the 2022 BECE. We, therefore, call on individuals and organizations to support this cause by donating mathematical sets to candidates in their communities. Together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of these candidates and help them achieve their academic dreams.
