Mr. Isaac Donkor, Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Kintampo Municipality visited all Zoomlion Vantage Cleaning points in the Municipality to see how the cleaning activities are ongoing after the President of the Republic of Ghana announced it would not be renewing the sweeping contact with the Zoomlion Company after its expiration.

he reason for this visitation was to get the total number of Zoomlion workers who are still at post working for the municipality since January 2025 after the news.

In a brief discussion with them, the MCE wanted to know the total number of workers who are still at post and to see how the municipality can pay them from January to June and to select the hard working ones for employment at the Municipal Assembly.

The workers visited were very grateful for the good news from the Municipal Chief Executive in their interaction with him.

They used the opportunity to outline some challenges they are facing such as tools for working, uniforms, and tricycle to enable them work proactively in the Municipality.

They also appealed to the MCE to help communicate with the President of the Republic of Ghana to pay salaries owned them by the previous government.

Areas visited were; the municipal daily market, STC ward, Ntankoro Station, Tamale Station, the weekly Market and Babator and other communities.

The Catholic Bishop of Techiman Diocese, Most Reverend Dominic Yeboah Nyarko has dedicated the ‘Our Lady of Peace Grotto’ at the Saint Joseph Catholic Church in Kintampo.

The facility which is a donation from the Balkono family of Kaleo in the Upper West region is in memory of their late mother Elizabeth Mwin-Zimbu Balkono who passed away on December 12, 2021.

Mother Elizabeth as she was affectionately called was a devout catholic who served the church for several years culminating in her initiation into the Christian Mothers Association on the 7th day of June 1986.

The woman of faith also encouraged one of his sons, Reverend Father Samuel Balkono Nabare now based in Austria to take up priesthood in the church.`

Delivering the mass, the Most Reverend Yeboah Nyarko lauded the Balkono family for the gesture adding that God will reward them appropriately.

He urged others to emulate their example by supporting God’s work in whichever way they can.

The parish priest, Reverend Father Alex Chandy admonished the parishioners to go beyond taking pictures at the grotto and make it a place of prayer so God will meet their needs.

Present were members of the Balkono family as well as other associate priests.

A parishioner from Austria and a friend to the Balkono family Mrs. Regina Heitzinger graced the occasion
