Background: AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS WEEK (MONDAY 17 MARCH), GHANA'S COMMISSIONER FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT, DR. KYEREMATEN TOOK FORMAL DELIVERY OF 19 MUNICIPAL SERVICE VEHICLES ASSEMBLED BY LEYLAND MOTORS (GHANA) LTD. THEY WERE THE FIRST OF 41 SUCH VEHICLES ORDERED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF GHANA FOR DISTRIBUTION TO NINE MUNICIPALITIES; AMONG THEM WERE MEAT VANS, WATER TANKS, SEPTIC TANKS AND REFUSE TRACKS.

DR. KYEREMATEN PAID TRIBUTE TO THE GOVERNMENT FOR PROVIDING The VEHICLES TO AID THE HEALTH AND WELFARE OF THE POPULATION. HE URGED THE RECIPIENTS TO HANDLE THEM CAREFULLY; HE THEN TOOK THE WHEEL OF ONE HIMSELF AND INSPECTED THE OTHERS. LATER HE SAW MORE LORRIES BEING ASSEMBLED AT THE LEYLAND PLANT.

THE FIRST 41 WILL BE DELIVERED TO THE CITY COUNCILS OF ACCRA, KUMAIS, SEKONDI-TAKORADI, TAMALI, KOTORIDUA AND CAPE COAST, AND TO THE LOCAL COUNCILS OF BOLGATANGA, HO AND SUNYANI.
