She said vehicles can not ply some of the roads while residents find it difficult to use them especially during the rainy season.

Mrs Kitoe made the appeal at a get-together organised by the Club as part of the activities marking the weeklong Akwanbo festival of the chiefs and people of the area at Agona Swedru. She welcomed the promise by President John Agyekum Kufuor to raise the status of the district to that of municipality during his recent visit to the area this year.

Mrs Kitoe stated that attention should be given to roads and sanitation in the area to ensure environmental cleanliness to avoid an epidemic.

She called on the Agona District Assembly to check the construction of unauthorised structures to ensure proper town planning and praised the government for the provision of social amenities such as clinics, schools and traffic lights that give the town a facelift.

Ms Alberta Bruce, a final-year student of the University of Education, Winneba and a member of the Club urged parents to ensure proper education for heir children since that is the “property” they could bequeath to them.

She urged parents to encourage their children to study very hard to enable them to become successful in future instead of just roaming the streets especially during vacation. Ms Bruce appealed to chiefs to enact by-laws to stop underage children from selling iced water, tomatoes, pepper and fish during school hours.

Mrs Christiana Opoku Bamfo, an Executive Member of the Club, appealed to the youth to get involved in premarital sex to avoid contracting HIV/AIDS.
