DCE JOINS NSUTAMANHENE AND KYEBIHENE TO CUT SOD FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE KYEBI, TWEREFUOR, DANSO & ABUTIA SOCIAL CENTRE

On Wednesday, 23rd September, 2026, the District Chief Executive, Hon. Samuel Somuah was a Special Guest of Honour at the sod-cutting ceremony to commence the construction of a Social centre, a community self-aid project intended to host social events and commercial activities by residents of Kyebi, Twerefuor, Danso and Abutia.

In his address, the Hon. DCE applauded the good efforts of Kyebihene, Nana Agyei Marfo Asiedu and elders of the community for their vision to ensure development for their people. He called on community members to support the vision of Nananom to ensure the progress of their communities.

He pledged the District Assembly's support towards the completion of the project.

He updated community members of the erection of a new Telecom mast, a response intervention to enhance network connectivity in Kyebi and its environs. He indicated that the project which was nearing completion would address the long standing issue of Telecom network connectivity issues.

He called on the community to consult with the Physical Planning Department of the Assembly for the development of a local plan to ensure appropriate spatial planning.

He also cautioned against animals rearers who leave their animals to stray into farms causing destruction to farm crops. He stated that the Assembly’s task force will soon commence a district-wide operation to arrest such stray animals and their owners penalised.

Hon. Somuah also ceased the opportunity to express profound gratitude to the Nsutamanhene for his support in ensuring the successful relocation of traders from the Nsuta market to the make-shift market giving way for the commencement of the construction of the 24-Hour economy market. He assured residents of the timely completion of the project to ensure the materialisation of its intended purpose.

In his keynote address, Nana Agyei Marfo Asiedu (Kyebihene) outlined some priority projects he's undertaken in fulfillment to the pledge he made to his subjects on his enstoolment as Kyebihene. These span sectors in Education. Environmental Protection and Spatial planning and the development of commerce.

These have been achieved through the award of various forms of educational investments to enhance teaching and learning across basic schools in the community, the award of scholarships, investment into the cultivation of ginger as a commercial crop, the cultivation of seedlings for tree planting amongst others.

He assured the Assembly of his support to ensure enforcement of sanitation laws. He indicated that persons who fail to partake in communal activities will be reported for the appropriate sanctions to be meted to them

He also called for the closure of cemetaries in close proximity to river sources to prevent issues of health hazards.

He cautioned against land sales by family heads without due recourse to the Apagyahene who exercises oversight on behalf of the Nsutamanhene who is the custodian of these lands, indicating that poor planning of land demarcation and sale affects proper spatial planning

In concluding, he announced the formation of a nine member project implementation committee constituting representatives from Kyebi, Danso, Twerefo, Abutia with one rep from the Assembly headed by the representative from Danso who will exercise oversight of the project and ensure accountability.

Nana Asamoah Gyamfi Sekyere II, Nsutamanhene called for Unity in ensuring the progress of the project.

He called for a unified front from the leadership of the various communities in supporting the vision of the Kyebihene.

He further reemphasized his support to the Kyebihene's call for proper spatial planning and beatification of the community.

He concluded with a call for proper stakeholder consultation emphasizing that the social centre project was the beginning of many significant projects to come.

He also made a cash donation in support of the project and charged the Kyebihene to take care of the communities under his jurisdiction.

The Hon. DCE pledged a donation of 50 bags of cement in support of the project. He also assured Nananom of the technical support of the Physical Planning and Works Departments of the Assembly towards the project at no cost to the community.
