  "account": "The Municipal Chief Executive of Ho, Stephen Adom, met with the municipality's Chiefs and Queen Mothers to account for his administration's work and introduce development projects since taking office. The gathering aimed to improve collaboration between the Ho Municipal Assembly and traditional authorities while showcasing the Assembly's accomplishments, difficulties, and ongoing initiatives.\n\nUnder healthcare, the MCE outlined the construction of nurses' quarters at Tokokoe and Matse, CHPS compounds at Ziavi Bamefedo and Takla Atiyinu, and several major road projects. These included the Anyirawase-Sokode dual carriageway, Guinness-Tritrinu dual carriageway, Sokode-Etoe-Tritrinu bypass, Ho-Agortime-Kpetoe dual carriageway, and the Ho-Kpenoe-Takla-Hodzo-Tokokoe road. Township roads at Tanyigbe and Akoefe were being upgraded, and pothole repairs and maintenance continued across the municipality.\n\nEducation was a key priority for the Assembly, with the MCE highlighting the completion of the Ho Municipal Education Office complex and classroom blocks at multiple locations. The project, which had stalled in 2016, was revived and re-awarded in 2025 to ensure completion. The Tanyigbe Senior High School also received new staff accommodation, administration block, library, and computer laboratory, with the project having begun in 2016 and recently resumed.\n\nIn terms of water and digital connectivity, Adom reported that the Assembly drilled and mechanized boreholes in about 30 communities and institutions, benefiting SSNIT Flats, Ho Municipal Hospital, and various schools and communities. Additionally, rural telephony equipment was provided to improve communication and bridge the digital divide, while sanitation efforts included communal cleaning, the Mawuleme movement, refuse dump evacuation, and the provision of motorbikes and a tricycle for sanitation monitoring. An effort to decongest markets was underway, aiming to reclaim pavements and create a safer and more organized trading environment, with operations from the old abattoir at Ho Zongo relocated to a modern facility at Sokode Etoe.\n\nThe MCE also mentioned sports, local governance, and housing projects, including renovations to the Ho Sports Stadium and the completion of the Norvisi Zonal Council for better local governance. The Assembly was collaborating with the Tema Development Company to provide affordable housing, and ongoing road repairs and maintenance were improving safety and security.",
