Speaking at a press briefing themed “Transparency and Accountability in Local Governance”, Mr. Gyasi revealed that 43 communities have been connected to the national electricity grid, bringing relief and opportunities to residents.
He explained that the initiative was carried out in collaboration with the Member of Parliament for Sefwi-Wiawso, Kofi Benteh Afful, and the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).
In addition, streetlights were installed in various areas to help curb crime and improve security.
