The District Chief Executive (DCE) for Atwima Kwanwoma, Hon. Grace Agyemang Asamoah, has officially launched a quarterly District Achievements News Journal titled “Atwima Kwanwoma In Focus”, aimed at highlighting development projects and key interventions undertaken by the Assembly.
The launch, held on Thursday, February 12, 2026, at the Conference Room of the District Assembly in Twedie, was attended by traditional leaders, opinion leaders, politicians across the political divide, assembly members, heads of departments, development partners, religious leaders and members of the media.
Addressing the gathering, Hon. Agyemang Asamoah described the publication as a documented record of the Assembly’s collective efforts and progress, stressing that it is not about celebrating an individual but a shared vision and teamwork.
“When I assumed office, I pledged to prioritize the needs of our people and to ensure that no community would be left behind. This Journal represents more than a publication—it is a documented record of how far we have come together,” she stated.
She explained that Atwima Kwanwoma In Focus, to be produced quarterly, will serve as a tool for accountability, transparency and public engagement by keeping residents informed about ongoing and completed projects.
Administration and Governance
Touching on governance, the DCE disclosed that the Assembly completed the painting of the District Administration Block and the Trede Area Council to improve the working environment and preserve the dignity of public institutions.
She added that billboards have been erected to showcase the Assembly’s services to the public to enhance transparency and access to information. Boards displaying the chronological order of past and present DCEs, Presiding Members and District Coordinating Directors were also installed to preserve the institutional history of the Assembly.
Infrastructure Development
In the area of infrastructure, several roads were reshaped to improve accessibility, including the Nwinsa–Nkwanta–Amoafo stretch, Kotwi Special Ice road, Biragokrom, Asaago and the Bekwaime–Kyekyewere road.
