Governance

The Afigya-Kwabre South District Assembly was established by Legislative Instrument (L.I.) 2333 of 14th November 2017. It is one of the Forty-Three (43) and also the Two Hundred and Sixty (260) Metropolitan/Municipal/District Assemblies in Ashanti region and Ghana

respectively. It was carved out of the former Afigya Kwabre District, and has Kodie as its Capital. The Assembly is a legal entity which can sue and be sued.

Citizenry Participation For effective development to take place in the district, there is the need for citizens? participation in decision making and its implementation. The citizens are involved in decision making at the assembly at different levels. These include organization of community durbars to explain government policies to the people and also solicit their concerns about implementation of assembly?s projects.

During the preparation of the District Medium Term Development Plans, we engage the communities in assessing their needs to be incorporated into the plans. Public hearings are also held at the district level to discuss the performance of the previous plan and the developmental issues raised from its implementation. The representation at the public hearing include: Assembly members, Unit Committee members, Area Council Executives, Nananom, Community Based Organizations, Civil Society Organizations etc.
