The Wassa East District Assembly has commenced a rigorous monitoring exercise to inspect ongoing infrastructural projects across the district, ensuring that contractors adhere to approved specifications and contractual agreements.
On Wednesday, 25th February 2026, the District Chief Executive, Hon. Alhassan Ibrahim, led a high-level delegation, including the District Monitoring Team and key stakeholders, to assess the progress of various projects funded under the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF) for the 2025 fiscal year.
The inspection tour forms part of the assembly’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and stakeholder engagement in line with government directives for the utilization of the DACF.
Projects Under Scrutiny
The projects being executed are in direct compliance with national guidelines which mandate Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) to allocate resources from their share of the Common Fund towards health, education, and water facilities.
During the tour, the DCE and his team inspected several ongoing projects, including:
· Education Infrastructure: Construction of a 3-Unit Classroom block with an office, staff common room, storeroom, and a 6-seater WC toilet at Aboaboso No. 2; a 6-Unit Classroom block with auxiliary facilities at Adukrom; a 2-Unit Kindergarten block with an office, toilet, and bathroom at Jerusalem; and another 3-Unit Classroom block with a 6-seater WC toilet at Tsimtsimhwe.
· Water and Sanitation: Drilling and mechanization of 8 boreholes fitted with overhead tanks to improve access to potable water in communities including Appeasuman, Old Subri, Osenso, Prato No. 1, Himanso, and Adukrom.
· Healthcare Delivery: Construction of a new CHPS compound at Appeasuman, aimed at expanding access to primary healthcare in the area.
Commitment to Quality and Development
Speaking to the press after the site visits, Hon. Alhassan Ibrahim expressed satisfaction with the general level of work done so far, while emphasizing the need for contractors to adhere strictly to deadlines and quality standards.
“Government resources are scarce, and we must ensure that every pesewa from the DACF is utilized effectively for the benefit of our people,” Hon. Ibrahim stated. “These projects in education, health, and water are not just structures. They represent our collective commitment to improving the living standards of our communities. We will not compromise on quality, and we will hold contractors accountable to deliver exactly what they have been contracted to do.”
The DCE reiterated the assembly’s dedication to even development across the district, assuring residents that the monitoring exercise would be a continuous process to ensure value for money and conformity with contract agreements.
Stakeholders and community members who interacted with the monitoring team expressed their appreciation for the projects, noting that they would significantly improve access to education, healthcare, and clean water in their respective areas.
The Wassa East District Assembly continues to urge contractors to work diligently to complete the projects on schedule, as government prepares to cut sod for additional developmental projects in the coming months.
