Mawunyo Agbe, the Presiding Member (PM) of the Ho Municipal Assembly and Dean of the CPMs for the Volta Region, noted that since the emergence of the Council of State Member on the scene, he has not relented in his efforts to ensure that all the eighteen (18) districts and municipalities of the region benefit from his immense support and encouragement in all efforts to transform the region. ‘In fact, ever since we voted for him, we have not regretted our action in any form. He has been up to standard and also up to his job till now’, Hon. Agbe emphasized.
The CPMs Dean described the Council of State Member as the light of the Volta Region, saying he is not only accessible but also approachable in all forms. Mr. Agbe said Mr. Kwamigah-Atople is the only Council of State Member that often calls them to ask of the challenges and state of their Assemblies and subsequently follow up with discussions to resolve those issues.
