ADAKLU DISTRICT TO GENERATE IGF THROUGH OPERATION OF ULTRA-MODERN CEMETERY

As cemeteries in Ho are being overstretched and exhausted far beyond their limits, the Adaklu District Assembly has decided to take advantage of the inadequate space of burial in the Ho Municipality to allocate a plot of land at a vantage point to charge bereaved families in Ho who might want to bury their love ones on the land.

This according to the district chief executive Hon Emmanuel Sky Ganaku is one of the many innovative ways the assembly is employing to generate enough revenue.  

 He said the fees depending on whether the dead is an adult or a child might cost a maximum of GHC5000.

The Chief Executive also disclosed that plans were far advanced to improve the tourism potentials of district. He said a rock- painting plan would be executed on the Adaklu Mountains to make it an ideal site for tourist attraction.

The chief executive disclosed this at a General Assembly Meeting held in the district Assembly hall. The district which was carved out of the then Adaklu Anyigbe District in 2012, has over the years been recording low revenue. This year for instance, the mid-year revenue collected amounts to GHC 66,474.80 representing 67% of a target of GHC 101,237.97.

Hon Emmanuel Sky Ganaku is therefore optimistic that their new strategies would yield good results in the coming years.
