Dr. Amoakohene paid a courtesy call on the Queen Mother of the Juaben Traditional Council, where he outlined ongoing interventions by both the Municipal Assembly and Central Government.

Under the leadership of the Municipal Chief Executive, Hon. Eunice Ohenewaa Ansu, the Juaben Municipal Assembly is implementing several transformative projects. These include:
– Construction of a TVET Centre at Achiase

– KG block at Onaa
– Municipal Administration Block as a legacy project
– Construction of 10 boreholes across the municipality
– KG block at New Koforidua, which has already been commissioned
Dr. Amoakohene noted that these interventions have been made possible by President John Dramani Mahama’s decision to make 80% of the District Assemblies Common Fund directly available to Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies for development.
Central Government Projects
The Central Government is also undertaking major projects in the municipality, including:
– Construction of 10km of municipal roads

– Two 4-unit, 2-bedroom staff bungalows
As part of the visit, Dr. Amoakohene interacted with the management, staff and students of Juaben SHS on the ongoing infrastructure expansion and the future development of the school. He also engaged staff of the Municipal Assembly and commended them for their commitment to public service and local development.
“Our commitment remains unwavering: delivering infrastructure, expanding opportunities, and improving the quality of life for people of Juaben and the Ashanti Region,” Dr. Frank Amoakohene said.
