GENERAL ASSEMBLY MEETING
The Sunyani West Municipal Assembly has held its First General Assembly Meeting on Thursday, 20th August, 2026 at the Municipal Assembly Hall aimed at discussing key developmental and governance issues critical to the progress of the Municipality.
Mr. Attah Kwasi Dognokoh Snr, the Presiding Member (PM) of the Assembly expressed gratitude to the Members for renewing his mandate and pledged his commitment to deliver his duties diligently.
He called on the Members to actively participate and deliberate on issues constructively to ensure better decisions are arrived at since the Assembly is a deliberative body.
The Presiding Member reminded management of Section 24 of the local Governance Act, which requires Members to be served with the decisions of the Executive Committee 7 days before the General Meeting, which should be adhered to.
He also cautioned the various Area, Urban and Councils that are underperforming and weak in revenue collection to sit up and improve to help improve revenue mobilization for the Assembly and to also enable the Assembly to pass its assessment when the need arises.
Delivering his sectional address, the Municipal Chief Executive said the Municipality has been relatively peaceful with the help of the Municipal Security Council, which met periodically to put in place measures to combat reported cases of crime and other security issues in the Municipality.
A recent robbery incident occurred at Fiapre on a mobile money vendor, in which one person was reportedly shot dead; two persons were injured and are currently receiving treatment at the Sunyani Teaching Hospital. One of the robbers also died, and nine (9) suspects have been arrested, awaiting prosecution.

We also intend to use our IGF to;

2. 24-Hour Economy Market
The Municipal Chief Executive reported that the site for the construction of the 24-Hour economy market was handed over to the contractor on 14th April, 2026. Up to date the project has not commenced and an appeal has been made to the Hon. Regional Minister to get the contractor to begin with the construction since the project is behind schedule. Two warning letters of termination have already been served on the contractor and this prompted the contractor to have made some sketchy attempts woefully though, we are still pursuing and insisting a new contractor brought on board, he said.
3.Roads
On roads, Mr. Kwasi Asante -Boateng said the Assembly was prepared to start work on the Berlin Top Road but were lucky to get Kofi Job’s interception for the thorough construction for that enclave for us. On the Tainso road, we have written to the appropriate authorities because work on the bridge is beyond us. Under the auspices of the MP, the main Nsoatre township road to the Nsoatre Hospital Road is under construction as well as Nsoatre –Kwabenakuma road. These projects are being solely funded by her. The Assembly is also currently working at Chiraa and will replicate this in other areas that have not had their fair share of the road construction.
4. Clean up exercise
As part of the National monthly clean-up exercise instituted by the government, the Municipal Assembly observed monthly clean-up exercises at the various zones. The next sanitation exercise will take place at Dumasua on Saturday, 5th September, 2026. Fiapre’s second chance did not come on because of the funeral of Nana Asante Krobea, Atipimhene of Fiapre Traditional Authority. Already the Assembly has embarked on clean-ups: three (3) at Odomase, two (2) at Nsoatre, two (2) at Chiraa, one (1) at Dumasua, one (1) at Kwatire Adantia and one (1) at Fiapre. We also joined the National Youth Authority and had a massive one at Kwatire and I presented to the people that day, a skip container. Other areas that have also been served with the Containers are; Kwatire-one (1), Odomase Yoyoso- one (1), Fiapre SDA- one (1), behind Odomaseman Senior High- one (1) which are all existing container sites. One container is yet to be sent to Chiraa Asabea. Evacuation of refuse is currently ongoing at Chiraa in order to improve upon sanitation. Similar exercise will be carried out in other areas of the municipality
