Nkwanta (O/R), March 1, GNA- Mr Bright Kwame Lenwah, Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Nkwanta South, has reminded the residents of the need for peace, which is a bedrock for development.
He cautioned the residents that no government official or private individual would be willing to stay in a conflict-prone community to either serve the people or invest in development projects, adding that the earlier they got that understanding, the better it would be for them and their community.
Mr Lenwah made the call when he visited the communities to familiarise himself with recent happenings about the insecurity and disregard for law and order in the area.
He asked residents of B-Zongo and Kitare Disani communities to be law-abiding and tolerant with one another for peace.
He said taking the laws into one’s own hands was dangerous and could derail the path of development in these communities and the Municipality at large.
He drummed home the message of peace and unity and explained the need for all residents, both young and old, to respect the laws of the land warning, without that “you won’t get the needed development you have been crying or yearning for over decades.”
He advised, particularly, the youth to eschew all forms of violence and choose peace, stating, “you’re the future presidents, Ministers, Members of Parliament, and MCEs.”
“We are one people, and we shouldn’t let individual differences and wants to separate us. We need ourselves at every point in time, so let’s adhere to peace and order my people,” Mr Lenwah added.
The familiarisation tour took the MCE to B-Zongo Basic School, where he advised pupils there to take their lessons seriously to realise their dreams and become better persons in future.
Mr Lenwah also visited the Nkwanta Health Centre, where he thanked health professionals for their hard work and committed service and encouraged them to continue to do their best, assuring that the government of Nana Akufo-Addo was determined to resource the facility to enhance healthcare delivery to the people.
