Colonel Cyril Necku (Retired), Deputy Volta Regional Minister has commissioned five road construction equipment for the Kpando District Assembly with a call on traditional authorities and opinion leaders in the district to monitor their use.
The items, said to have been given to the Assembly by the National Security, under its emerging policy of providing security with a human face, included a grader, roller, tipper truck, pay loader and a backhoe.
Col. Necku was hopeful that the equipment would help the District to construct its road network and also rented to raise internally generated funds.
Mr Francis Ganyaglo, Kpando District Chief Executive (DCE), said the equipment came at the right time when the District was witnessing a major facelift.
"Kpando is having a major facelift with infrastructure developments. We can talk of a new court complex, a new bus terminus and markets."
"We are on the township roads including some dreadful bridges and can only say thank God for these equipments."
He observed that roads in the district are bad, and that with the new machines, they would be improved tremendously to enhance the socio-economic development of the district.
Mr Ganyaglo said the Assembly was harnessing every resource to make the district a destination of choice for tourists and investors by 2013.
He, therefore, called on people from the district living and working outside to support the Assembly to achieve that goal.
