The MCE reiterated the Assembly’s commitment to excellence and emphasized the importance of community support in achieving their goals.
Despite facing challenges in implementing beneficial mandates due to pushbacks from some communities, the MCE urged the public to support the Assembly’s work to ensure clean and safe cities for all residents. He dedicated the award to all Assemblies in Ghana, encouraging them to strive for excellence and work towards the betterment of the country with the support of citizens.
The prestigious award serves as a testament to the Korle Klottey Municipal Assembly’s dedication to serving its community and achieving positive outcomes in various sectors. By continuing to uphold high standards of governance and accountability, the Assembly aims to contribute to Ghana’s overall development and well-being.
