No room for delay…Volta Regional Minister warns contractors

As reported by the Ghanaian Times, the message from our Volta Regional Minister, Mr. James Gunu, is unequivocal: delays and subpar work on development projects will no longer be tolerated. This firm stance is crucial for ensuring that government initiatives translate into tangible benefits for our citizens.

The signing of contracts for the 24-hour economy markets across 18 Municipal and District Assemblies marks a significant step forward. These markets are designed not just as commercial hubs but as integrated facilities, offering essential services like pharmacies and kindergartens. This holistic approach demonstrates a commitment to supporting traders and their families, recognizing the vital role they play in our economy.

Please do not bring workers from outside the district or municipality where you will be working.

The directive for contractors to prioritize local labor is particularly important. It ensures that these projects not only deliver infrastructure but also create much-needed employment opportunities for our youth, fostering community development from the ground up. The establishment of dedicated monitoring committees by the assemblies will further guarantee accountability and efficient execution.

This initiative underscores the government's dedication to development and improving the lives of Ghanaians. The success of these 24-hour markets will undoubtedly reflect positively on the government's overall performance, building public trust and appreciation for development efforts. We, at the Ghanaian Times, believe that such decisive leadership and focus on execution are precisely what our nation needs to progress.

It is only when government projects are successfully implemented that the people will appreciate government’s efforts in bringing development to them.
