Cutting the sod for the construction of a 1-kilometre bypass road linking Columba Junction to Datus a fortnight ago. This important infrastructure project forms part of our broader commitment to improving road connectivity, easing traffic congestion, and enhancing economic activities within the municipality.

The new bypass will not only provide an alternative route for commuters but also facilitate the smooth movement of goods and services, ultimately boosting local commerce and improving daily life for our residents.

In line with our vision for sustained development, plans are being advanced to extend this initiative elsewhere. This strategic expansion is expected to further decongest key traffic corridors and open up more areas for growth and investment.

We remain committed to delivering quality infrastructure that meets the needs of our people and supports the long-term development of Awutu Senya East.

Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to supervise a two-day evacuation of the dumpsite at the Kasoa New Market, marking a significant milestone in our quest to improve sanitation and reclaim critical public space.

This exercise reflects our unwavering commitment to creating a cleaner, healthier, and more organized trading environment for residents and market women and men. The removal of the dumpsite not only addresses long-standing environmental concerns but also restores confidence in our shared vision for a better Kasoa.

This intervention is a major step toward the realization of the 24-Hour Economic Market Development initiative, which aims to transform the Kasoa New Market into a modern commercial hub that supports round-the-clock economic activity. With this progress, we are laying a solid foundation for increased trade, job creation, and sustainable growth within the municipality.

I commend all stakeholders and sanitation workers for their dedication and cooperation, and I urge the public to continue supporting efforts to maintain cleanliness and embrace the opportunities ahead.
