Revenue collection efforts by the Obuasi East Municipal Assembly delivered exceptional results during the first five months of 2025. The municipal government gathered 1,005,127.58 Ghana cedis against an anticipated 915,420.00 cedis between January and May. This performance represents a 110 percent achievement rate that Municipal Chief Executive William Kofi Adzowu celebrated during the General Assembly Meeting. The executive praised revenue unit staff for their effective collection strategies. Assembly meetings took place on July 9 and 10 to review these financial accomplishments.
Property rates and building permits generated substantial income alongside sand royalties and market fees. Adzowu credited systematic property valuations and improved billing software for enhanced collection efficiency. The municipality implemented reliable database systems while providing transportation resources to the Works Department. Revenue collectors received timely commission payments that motivated consistent performance. These administrative improvements contributed significantly to surpassing financial targets.
President John Dramani Mahama launched the 24-Hour Economy initiative on July 3 in Accra to stimulate employment and export growth. The Assembly plans to relocate wood merchants from their current site to the Boete industrial park development. This relocation will enable construction of a modern market facility with parking areas and transportation terminals. Nine market structures will be built through phased construction approaches. Additional facilities will include health services, security stations, educational institutions, and transport hubs.
The Feed Ghana Programme represents another government agricultural intervention that the municipality actively promotes. Assembly agriculture officials register farmers while conducting awareness campaigns about program benefits. Presiding Member Alfred Fosu Donkor chaired the administrative sessions.
