The President Prof. Evans Atta Mills has urged assembly members to collaborate with management of the assemblies to generate adequate revenue to complement the effort of Government. This was contained in speech read on his behalf at the swearing in ceremony of assembly members at the Kassena – Nankana West District of the Upper East Region. He added that funds that are provided by the central government as well as those that are internally generated should be judiciously used. The President further called on them to serve their people and the country at the local government level in a manner that will let the public appreciate the fact that they are involved in the decision making process and governance of the nation. He however cautioned them against using their positions to gain undue favours from the assemblies which he said is an offence adding that anyone who involves in such acts will be sanctioned accordingly. The Kassena – Nanakna West District Chief Executive, Thomas Addah Dalu appealed to the chiefs and the people to bring all hands on deck and work with unity to ensure sustainability of peace which is the only way for development. The DCE called on the assembly members to be committed so that the aim of championing the course of development will be a reality. Mr. Addah Dalu appealed to the President to provide the district with a district education block complex and a district administration block as well as residential accommodation that will enable all workers to have access to a safe and conducive environment. The MP for the area, Leo Kabah, advised the assembly members not to allow party politics to cloud their minds and forget about the development issues bordering the district. He also called on all stakeholders to bring their expertise to bear so that the district will develop as desired by the people.
