The Greater Accra Regional Minister and Mrs Linda Obenewaa Akweley Ocloo has reaffirmed government's commitment to improving road infrastructure across Accra.This, followed an appeal made to her by an Assembly member at the Ga West Municipal Assembly, Mr Love Alister about poor roads infrastructure in the municipality."Fixing our roads and address­ing infrastructure concerns in Accra remain top priorities for this administration," she noted.The minister reiterated this at the confirmation of Presidential Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) nominee for Okaikwei North, Mr John Desmond Sowah Nai held in Accra on Wednesday.He was confirmed and sworn into office by Ms Ocloo after all 25 assembly members and govern­ment appointees representing 100 per cent unanimously voted yes to confirm him in the elec­tion conducted by the Electoral Commission (EC), surpassing the two-thirds majority required under Section 20 of the Local Gover­nance Act, 2016 (Act 936).Also, the nominated MCEs for Ga North and Okaikwei North Municipal Assembly, Mr Akwetey Agbo and Mr Christian Tetteh Badger respectively were both con­firmed and sworn after securing 100 per cent votes in their various assemblies.In Ga North Municipal Assem­bly, 21 assembly members voted and Mr Agbo secured all votes casted while Mr Badger also won all 17 voted casted at the Okaikwei North Municipal Assembly which confirmed them.Describing the day as a fruitful day, Ms Ocloo expressed grati­tude to the assembly members for confirming the newly nominated MCEs and ensuring a smooth and peaceful electoral process."All the assemblies we went to confirm their nominees to day, all gave us 100 per cent, none voted no, this means that, they have confident and assurance in the presidential nominee," she noted.She also urged assembly mem­bers of other municipal assem­blies to emulate the free and fair elections exhibited by the con­firmed assemblies so far to ensure a smooth confirmation process to enhance development at the local level.She also called on the newly confirmed MMDCEs to commit fully to the President's develop­ment vision, adding that, "I expect all MMDCEs to work hard, align with President Mahama's agenda, and serve their communities with integrity and dedication."The Minister urged all assembly members to work closely with the confirmed executives:"Let us all support our new MMDCEs to deliver the progress our people expect and deserve."Meanwhile, the newly con­firmed MCEs expressed their deep appreciation to President John Dramani Mahama for their nomi­nations, and to assembly members for the overwhelming support."I am deeply grateful for the confidence the assembly has shown in me.

I promise to be a listening and responsive leader.

I am here to serve, and I will make sure the voices of my constituents are heard and acted upon," Mr Badger noted.A total of 10 out of the 29 presidential nominated MMDCEs have been confirmed and sworn into office across Accra as of last Wednesday. BY CECILIA YADA LAGBA
