The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Keta in the Volta Region, Mr. Emmanuel Gemegah, declared that this year would be one of action and growth for a better tomorrow.
According to him, the Municipal Assembly had a successful year in 2022, becoming the first Assembly in Volta and one of 15 across the nation.
He complimented the staff’s dedication to the success.
During his time as MCE, Mr. Gemegah stated in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that he was committed to ending illicit fishing.
For many years, illegal fishing has had a devastating impact on the area.
“We have met with some fisherfolks, opinion leaders, and others from the three districts along the coast to address this menace, after which punitive measures will be applied for any offender,” he stated
He claimed that discussions were ongoing to stop sand winning at the shore.
The Keta Port, according to Mr. Gemegah, should be finished before President Akufo-Addo leaves office.
He also cited additional ambitions, including the creation of a local plan for reclaimed land projects, such as a sports facility, which he said will be completed by the end of next year.
The roads from Anlo-Afiadenyigba to Havedzi would also be completed, he continued. “The Assembly is undertaking a lot of consultations for money to see the construction of Agorvinu, Lawoshime and Ledzorvi bridges,” he said.
