In a closed-door meeting with the Hon MCE and the Assembly Members, Nii Anang Adjor III expressed displeasure at the Assembly Members’ inability to pay him a visit since his installation and out-dooring as Chief of Ashaiman. He further discussed key challenges that require urgent attention to ensure sanity and promote development in the Municipality with them.

Significant amongst them were prioritizing the welfare of the people of Ashaiman in development; Creation of proper layouts in underdeveloped communities; Ashaiman and TDC land acquisition and regularization disputes; and Poor collaboration between the Assembly and the Divisional Council on land matters in some specific areas.

He was of the expectation that this strong collaboration with the Assembly would yield desired development for the people.

In his response, the Hon. MCE assured the Council of the Assembly’s readiness to partner with the Traditional Council to build a better Ashaiman, promote development and economic stability.

The ceremony was witnessed by the Member of Parliament, the Municipal Chief Executive, the Chief of Ashaiman, Assembly Members, members of the Traditional Council, and some staff of the Assembly.
