She made this known during the Third Ordinary Meeting of the Lawra Municipal Assembly, where the Member of Parliament for the Lawra Constituency, Mr. Bede Ziedeng, disclosed that he had invested over GH¢1.67 million in the education sector since assuming office in January 2021.

The MP said the investment forms part of his commitment to developing human capital in the constituency. He explained that the interventions, which excluded infrastructure projects, covered scholarship support for tertiary students, the provision of school furniture and assistance to the Municipal Education Directorate, among others.

On the 24-Hour Economy Markets Project, Madam Soyelleh disclosed that construction works had resumed at the foundation level following concerns over the slow pace of the project.

She explained that the Assembly had been undertaking a downward review of the project contracts as part of efforts to address challenges affecting construction.

The MCE further indicated that the Assembly would soon present its 2027 Composite Budget and Annual Action Plan for consideration and approval to guide the implementation of development programmes in the next fiscal year.
