Kadjebi (O/R), April 10, GNA – Akan Wawa Traditional Congress, an umbrella body of Chiefs and Queen mothers of the Kadjebi District in the Oti Region, has expressed appreciation to President John Dramani Mahama for the appointments of Mr. John Kwadwo Gyapong as Oti Regional Minister and Dr. Sam Suraj Issaka as the Kadjebi District Chief Executive (DCE).
They said the appointments were a testament to the President’s commitment to recognizing and rewarding talent from the district.
In a statement issued and signed by Odeifuor Frempong Ware III, Paramount Chief of Ampeyo Traditional Area and Chairman of the Akan Wawa Traditional Congress, was read on behalf of the Congress by Nana Kotoko Okrah Ayew II, Gyasehene of the Ahamansu Traditional Area.
The Congress also requested that the Presidency consider appointing some qualified and dedicated individuals from the Kadjebi District, including Chiefs, to other key positions.
They believed the district had a wealth of talent and expertise that could contribute to national development.
The Congress reaffirmed its commitment to supporting development projects in the district, region, and country.
“We are eager to collaborate with the government to ensure the successful implementation of these projects,” the statement said.
“Unlike the NPP, it is regrettable to say that the NDC has not considered the district when it comes to ministerial, ambassadorial, and other appointments since 1992, even though Kadjebi district has been loyal to the NDC,” it said.
“Thank God we just had a ministerial appointment, we hope the current NDC government will break the jinx by compensating the Kadjebi district for this oversight,” the statement added.
