The Minister further emphasized the importance of the SOCO projects being conducted in different districts, stating that they are necessary for the well-being of the people. He commended the government for initiating these projects and stated that they are not politically motivated, but rather a means for President Nana Addo to positively impact people’s lives.
He also mentioned that around 132 community facilitators have been employed for these projects. These facilitators will receive monthly payments, as well as be provided with a motorbike and laptop. They have undergone training to develop the necessary skills for their roles.
