Agenda 111 site now smokers' hideout, snake den
The Agenda 111 project site is now a smokers' hideout and snake den in Assin Darmang in the Assin South District. The abandoned project, which is 85 percent complete, has been overrun by weeds. A reporter and an escort narrowly escaped a bite from a gigantic cobra near the morgue. Youths were openly smoking in one of the rooms and asked for money to buy food after killing the cobra.
Mr. Jonathan Birikorang, the Assin South District Chief Executive (DCE), assured that the facility would continue to be urgently completed. He said the facility was intended to serve over 120,000 people. He also said President John Mahama had promised to complete all ongoing and abandoned projects. The DCE lamented that residents travel long distances for medical care. He also said the district's only ambulance has been out of service for months.
Ms. Susana Bill, the District Director of the Ghana Health Service, expressed delight at President John Dramani Mahama's pledge to complete several Agenda 111 projects. She appealed for the district's hospital to be included in the programme.
