The Public Relations Officer of the Appiatse Reconstruction Committee, Mr. Thy Will Quarshie has expressed elation by the progress of work on the redevelopment of the community.
At a day visit to the reconstruction site, Mr. Quarshie said, the committee is much pleased with the work done so far even though they are behind time.
The once-alive Appiatse community near Bogoso in the Western Region was razed down by an explosion rendering the town shattered.
However, the first phase of 124 housing units is being constructed by the government and other benevolent organizations for victims of the explosion.
According to the PRO, the housing units would soon be completed.
The buildings, he stated are made up of 41 one-bedroom apartments, 35 two-bedroom, 25 three-bedroom, 15 four-bedroom, 8- five bedroom apartments, 1 six-bedroom, and 1 seven-bedroom apartment.
Mr. Thy Will Quarshie speaking to the media said, the external world such as electrical, plastering, and others will begin soon, adding that the drainage system has been completed and the road network in the area is being constructed.
He further touched on the welfare of the people of Appiatse saying the health of those who suffered serious injuries have their situation worsening weekly.
He added that the medical bills of 23 people have not been settled since they lack the funds to do so.
” The health of those severely injured kept deteriorating week by week. We have 23 injured people on our list seeking medical attention but paying their bills is a challenge because we do not have funds,” Mr ThyWill Quarshie said.
