DRIP COORDINATOR OUTLINES PLANS FOR INNER ROADS RESHAPING IN TARKWA-NSUAEM

The District Road Improvement Programme (DRIP) Coordinator, Mr. Kingsford Ahia for Tarkwa-Nsuaem Municipal Assembly has commenced work as DRIP machines were deployed to various inner roads.

Outlining the plans of the Assembly, led by the Municipal Chief Executive, Hon. Ebenezer Cobbinah, the Coordinator said the reshaping exercise will cover Bankyim - Akyempim through to the Akyem road link to DVLA Junction, and from Tamso through Hilltop Junction to Asempa Hotel road.

According to him, although the exercise sometimes delays due to routine maintenance and other unforeseen challenges, the Municipal Assembly is determined to reshape most of the inner roads to ease traffic congestion.

He explained that this intervention has become necessary due to the ongoing road maintenance works being undertaken by Gabriel Couto from Agona Nkwanta to Bogoso Junction.

The Coordinator expressed appreciation to the MCE for his continuous support and timely directives to ensure the DRIP team is always on site when needed.

TARKWA-NSUAEM MUNICIPAL ASSEMBLY HOSTS GHANA ARMED FORCES COMMAND AND STAFF COLLEGE ON ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY TOUR

The Tarkwa-Nsuaem Municipal Assembly hosted students from the Ghana Armed Forces Command and Staff College (GAFCSC), Junior Division, as part of their Environmental Study Tour on illegal mining and sustainable development on Wednesday, 23rd September 2026.

The engagement, held at the Municipal Assembly Hall, brought together the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Hon. Ebenezer Cobbinah, Management of the Assembly, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Heads of Departments and the visiting military team.

In his welcome address, the MCE welcomed the team to Tarkwa-Nsuaem and noted that environmental challenges, particularly illegal mining (galamsey), cut across municipalities and regions and require collaborative research and solutions. He commended the College for choosing Tarkwa-Nsuaem for the study.
The main presentation was delivered by the Municipal Planning Officer (MPO), Mrs. Amanda Adjei, who took participants through six thematic areas guiding the study:
1. Environmental Degradation
2. Water Pollution
3. Forest Protection
4. Socio-Economic Impact
5. Health and Sanitation
6. Governance and Regulation

She highlighted the effects of galamsey on farmlands, water bodies including River Bonsa, forest reserves, livelihoods, public health and local governance, emphasizing that the six thematic areas are interlinked and must be addressed holistically.

The presentation was followed by an interactive questions and answers session where participants discussed reclamation challenges, community participation in forest protection, local resource mobilization, water body protection measures and health monitoring systems.

In his closing remarks, the MCE expressed gratitude to the team, noting that their findings would support the Assembly's efforts in the fight against illegal mining.

On behalf of the team, the student representative thanked the Assembly for the warm reception and insightful engagement, and presented citations of appreciation to the MCE, Municipal Coordinating Director, MPO and the Assistant Development Planning Officer for their support.

Field Observation
After the indoor session, the team embarked on a field visit to Dompim Illegal Mining Site to observe firsthand the extent of land degradation caused by illegal mining activities.

They also visited AngloGold Ashanti Iduapriem Mines where Management briefed the team on sustainable large-scale mining practices, reclamation and rehabilitation efforts, and community social interventions including health and education support. The engagement provided a practical contrast between regulated mining and illegal mining operations.

The Assembly appreciates the collaboration with GAFCSC and reaffirms its commitment to protecting the environment and promoting sustainable development in the municipality.
