Mr Prosper Afenyo, a member of the Men’s Fellowship of the E.P. Church in Ho, has said former President Jerry John Rawlings laid a sure foundation for the progress of the Volta Region during his days in office. He said contrary to assertions that Rawlings, who hailed from the Region, did little to enhance its growth, key projects that formed the base for development, were initiated by him. He cited that the Regional capital got one of two major hospitals he built, which now is a teaching hospital that has birthed the nation’s first Health University. The late President also established a regional agriculture development project and made Volta the only region at the time with three television transmission sites.
