Mr Nicholas Yayin Niper, the Bia East District Chief Executive (DCE), has stated that the District Road Improvement Programme (DRIP) will help solve the district's major challenge of poor road infrastructure. According to the DCE, the earth moving equipment would empower the Assembly and give it the authority to work and improve upon bad roads especially, the ones leading to farming communities. That, he said, would make the movement of goods, particularly farm produce easier, boost economic activities in the area. Mr Niper in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) after the official launch and introduction of the DRIP at the forecourt of the District Assembly, pointed out that a committee had been set to ensure the machines were used only for the intended purpose. He asked residents not to politicise the DRIP initiative but consider it in the supreme interest of Bia East. Obaahemaa Afua Henewaa, Queen Mother of Adabokrom, on behalf of the traditional authorities commended the government for the DRIP initiative and said it would go a long way to help improve roads in the area. The Queen Mother was particularly full of praise for the DCE for ensuring the development of Bia East and prayed that he would do more when elected as Member of Parliament for the area in the December 7 polls.
