DOWN THE MEMORY LANE



The problem of the poor drainage system causing land slide, threatening lives and properties. This earth drain divides Nima-east and Mamobi-east and stretches up to the Kanda highway.
Upon our engagement with the government, we were told the Millennium City project takes care of it.



Our periodic clean-up campaigns to sensitize the members of the community on the need to maintain good sanitation practices.

RECENT HAPPENINGS

The Federation in conjunction with the Legal Resources Centre and the Human Anti-Traffic Unit of the Ghana Police Service recently organized a forum for about 200 people including Chiefs and Opinion leaders within the East Ayawaso Constituency of the Greater Accra region in order to educate them on the problem of Human Trafficking as a matter of urgency.
At the forum, it was disclosed that the traffickers work as a network group from the point of departure to various unknown destinations just to outwit their victims. The activity takes place both within the borders of our country and beyond leading to people even losing their kidneys where they are needed without consent.
Keep posted for more information about the scourge.


IMPENDING ACTIVITY:
In line with the passage of the new law governing the conduct of Local Elections under the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development in conjunction with the Electoral Commission of Ghana, the Federation is planning as a matter of support for local governance to organize a platform for aspiring Assembly and Unit Committee members within the East Ayawaso Constituency.
Again, keep posted for the updates.
