The proposed commissioning of the newly constructed AstroTurf at Dichemso in the Manhyia South constituency of the Ashanti Region has been postponed.
The park was scheduled for official commissioning on Saturday, September 3, 2022, but the organizers have announced that the postponement has become very necessary due circumstances beyond their control.
Member of Parliament for the area, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh has sent his apologies to the constituents, especially those who may have been affected by the development. He assured that a new date would be communicated as soon as a decision is reached.
Below is the message from the MP:
Unfortunately, due to a number of unavoidable reasons, the commissioning of the Dichemso AstroTurf in my Manhyia South constituency, scheduled for Saturday 3rd September 2022 as announced earlier has had to be postponed.
Apologies to all of you who may have been inconvenienced by this postponement. As soon as a new date becomes available for the commissioning, it will be announced.
Thank you and may God continue to bless us all.
Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, MP Manhyia South
The AstroTurf project was undertaken by Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, popularly known as Napo.
Apart from Dichemso, some areas are also expected to have AstroTurfs to help in unearthing sporting talents in the constituency.
The MP undertook the project after engaging with the people of the area in order to avoid imposing projects on the electorate.
Dr. Prempeh is noted to be enjoying very brisk relationship with the people of Manhyia South because of his avowed aim to litter the area with development projects.
