He is committed to working tirelessly to develop the area.
Mr Kwakye says he will continue the excellent work of the previous MCE in rationalising the socio-economic development of the municipality.
He is also sure to improve the security challenges and accident cases on the Konongo-Juaso Stretch.
The Member of Parliament for the Asante Akim Central Constituency, Kwame Anyimadu-Antwi, said he will work with the MCE to develop the municipality.
Mr Anyimadu-Antwi admonished the assembly members to support the MCE to work on the developmental needs of the constituency.
