Former Dormaa East District Chief Executive, Hon. Emmanuel Kofi Agyemang, has urged residents to strictly adhere to HIV/AIDS preventive measures to help reduce the spread of the disease in the district.
He said Dormaa East is among districts recording relatively high cases of HIV in the country, stressing the need for residents to take HIV/AIDS education seriously and make informed decisions to protect themselves and others.
Hon. Agyemang therefore called on stakeholders to intensify public education on HIV prevention while encouraging residents to undergo regular testing, practise safe sex and avoid behaviours that could increase their risk of contracting the virus.
Hon. Emmanuel Kofi Agyemang, says the district has developed a software application, Omanbapa, available on the Play Store and Apple Store, to mobilize support for communal labour and development projects in the district.
He explained that the application will notify Dormaa citizens in the diaspora about upcoming communal labour activities, enabling them to contribute financially or in kind to support such initiatives.
According to him, communal labor plays a significant role in local development and cannot be overlooked. Hon. Kofi Agyemang said communal labor contributed significantly to development during his tenure as DCE, hence his decision to expand the initiative digitally to create opportunities for more citizens, including those abroad, to contribute to the development of the district.
