The session focused on key areas such as infrastructural development, sanitation improvement, local economic growth, and social services enhancement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Municipal Chief Executive emphasized the importance of public participation in development planning, stating that the inclusive process ensures the MTDP reflects the real needs and aspirations of the people of Ashaiman. Community members raised concerns about waste management, road networks, and youth employment opportunities, which the Assembly committed to address within the plan\u2019s operational priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MTDP is set to guide Ashaiman\u2019s development initiatives over the next four years. Following the hearing, the Assembly will incorporate feedback from stakeholders before submitting the finalized plan to the regional coordinating council and the Ministry of Local Government for
