The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for the Adentan Municipal Assembly, Hon. Daniel Alexander Nii-Noi Adumuah stressed the need for members to work together and tap from the rich experiences of old Assembly Members to ensure that, together they build a strong Assembly for the people.
He advised members to develop a culture of selflessness, loyalty, and dedication to contribute to the development of the Municipality and Ghana as a whole.
He added that certain decisions that members may be taking may not necessarily be in the interest of all, therefore, a need to called for members to be bold and always consider the interest of the larger group in all circumstances.
He commended previous members for their hard work and stressed on the need for the newly inaugurated to focus on infrastructure development, revenue mobilization, health care, agriculture, and sanitation to improve the lives of people within the Adentan Municipality.

In an interview with the Adentan News, Joseph Odai Boye indicated his readiness to bring all on board to make sure the developmental agenda of the Assembly is fully implemented.
He stated that the current Assembly’s focus will be on strengthening the revenue collection base and making sure that revenue leakages are curbed or minimized.
‘Decentralization is about bringing governance to the doorsteps of the people, therefore, listening to the plea of the people and doing their will is our mandate’ he added.
He finally assured that, by the end of his tenure of office, all projects budgeted for should be implemented.

Want to know last time properties were valued. It looks as if the property rates are raised indiscriminately without any valuation.
I would also like to recommend that you make the bills digital so it’s easier to pay the bills.
