Dormaahene support School and market projects

Dormaa (B/R), Jan. 05, GNA – Osagyefo Oseadeyo Agyeman Badu II, the Paramount Chief of Dormaa Traditional Area, has pledged 100 bags of cement and GHC 5,000 to support the pavement works of the Bomaa Market.

He announced a similar donation -100 bags of cement and GHc 5,000- in support of the ongoing infrastructure development at the Bomaa Senior High School.

Osagyefo Agyeman Badu, also the President of the Bono Regional House of Chiefs, announced the support when he addressed a durbar of chiefs and people of Bomaa in the Tano North Municipality of the Ahafo Region.

The Paramount Chief, earlier, led a clean-up exercise in the community.

The exercise was done in 88 out of the 106 communities in the Traditional Area.

He cautioned the people against bad sanitation practices and advised them to maintain proper hygiene and good environmental and sanitary practices to guard against the outbreak of communicable diseases.

Osagyefo Agyeman Badu asked the people to protect their history  and not “allow the over 107 years of history to be distorted or rewritten.”

“I will not lie about our history. I don’t have any issue with anyone, but I will not allow any person to distort our culture and history.”

“Abanpredease (Dormaahene palace) got its name from this town because historically the then Chief stayed at the top of a story building called Aban, which had sets of drums (Prede) being played at its ground floor”, the Paramount Chief explained.

He said the two years of protracted dispute in the area after the demise of the Chief of Bomaa was disturbing and asked the Bomaa Royal Family to allow peace to prevail and enstool a new chief who would also serve as the Nifahene of the Dormaa Traditional Council.

Osagyefo Agyeman Badu gave the assurance that security would be provided for the enstoolment of a new chief for the town, and promised to rehabilitate the Chief’s palace in the town to a befitting status.

He promised to provide GHC2,000 interest-free loan to ten deserving traders in the area, saying the amount would be doubled if beneficiaries repaid the loan within 12 months to enhance the livelihoods of the people.

Osagyefo Agyeman Badu also advised the people to adhere to the COVID-19 safety protocols to prevent the spread of the pandemic in the area, and warned illegal chainsaw operators against the depletion of forest resources in the area.

Nana Agyei Baffour, the Benkumhene of Bomaa, and the Acting Chief of the area, called on the people to cherish and promote peace and social cohesion for rapid socio-economic development.

He later presented two cartoons of soft drinks, a ram and an undisclosed sum of money to the Paramount Chief, after he led the people to weed, pick plastic waste, desilt choked gutters and sweep the streets of the Bomaa Township.
