According to Mr Asiamah, the project begins immediately and is expected to be completed in nine months.

 Isaac Asiamah in his address said it was unacceptable for young children to continue to play on the streets at the risk of their lives.

 He said it was important for the government to continue to make such investments to secure the future of Ghana.

 He also expressed gratitude to the Chiefs of Ho for donating over 100 acres of land for the project.
