Mankranso (Ashanti), 10th May ?99 ?
A new Ahafo-Ano South district Post Office, built at a cost of 33 million cedis, was at the weekend handed over to the district assembly at Mankranso in Ashanti.
The 100-letter box post office with space for additional 100 boxes took three years to build after the old structure was pulled down.
Mr Eddie Botchway, Optimization Advisor on Projects, of Construction Aid Limited, the consultants, who handed over the keys to Mr Anthony Kusi, the District Chief Executive, said defects on the building would be corrected when the Ghana Postal Services Corporation (GPSC) occupies it.
Mr Kusi said the assembly was taking over the building in spite of the defects because the project had delayed for too long and that the money for rectifying the defects would be deducted from the contract sum.
He said the project was funded entirely by the assembly as part of efforts to raise the standard of living of the people by providing the post office to facilitate communication with the rest of the country.
Mr Samuel W. Abban, the Kumasi District Manager of GPSC said the Corporation would introduce other services when it starts operation.
