Community Engagement at Mosi Zongo

Hon. Anthony Ziniel, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of the Nandom Municipality has engaged with residents of Mosi Zongo following an incident in which a community member was knocked down by a motorcycle.

During the engagement, the residents raised concerns about the safety of children and pedestrians crossing the road, noting the absence of speed ramps to slow down motorists. They explained that, in response, a local speed ramp was erected by community members but was later destroyed by another section of the community. This led to the matter being reported to the MCE for redress.

In his remarks, the MCE pledged to support the community with a temporal road ramps ("Roap Ramps") as an interim measure while also engaging the Urban Roads Department to construct durable concrete ramps. He further emphasized the Assembly’s commitment to educating and cautioning road users on proper riding practices, observing speed limits, and the mandatory use of helmets and riding mirrors.

The MCE also expressed concern about unsafe riding behaviors, including instances of motorcyclists riding without lights at night, which pose a risk of accidents. He assured residents that the police would strictly enforce the law and cautioned that the Assembly would not intervene when offenders are apprehended. He also appealed to community elders not to interfere in police operations, a plea which the elders welcomed and pledged to support.

The engagement ended with assurances from the MCE that the road ramps would be in place by Friday, with further updates to be provided if delays occur. The Municipal Police Command also pledged their support in maintaining peace and ensuring safety in the Nandom Municipality.

The MCE, Hon. Raymond Nero has on Tuesday, September 10th, 2024 visited two (2) Public basic schools, ST. Cecilia and ST. Paul’s Primary in the Municipality to mark the “My first Day at School” programme instituted by the government some years ago.

The programme allows officials from the Assembly and the Education Directorate to welcome fresh entrants of Kindergarten and Primary one pupils to school and encourage them to attend school frequently.

The MCE, accompanied on his visit by the Municipal Education Directorate, gave snacks, pencils, erasers, exercise books and sharpeners to motivate and welcome the fresh pupils.

Interacting with the teachers and fresh pupils in the various schools visited, Hon. Raymond Nero urged the kids to learn hard to be able to achieve their future aspirations. He encouraged them to be regular in school and be good listeners to their teachers as this will enable them become useful persons to themselves, family and society as a whole.

The MCE then implored the teachers to discharge their duties with passion and assist in moulding the kids under their care to become responsible citizens in the future. He assured the teachers that government is making all efforts to continue to support them with the needed logistics and incentives which will address the many challenges they encounter in their field of work.
