Kadjebi (O/R), March 7, GNA – Dr Sam Issaka Suraj, Kadjebi District Chief Executive (DCE), has urged the political class and citizens to prioritise policies and actions that improve the lives of ordinary Ghanaians and avoid acts that undermine national unity and human dignity.
He said Ghana’s continued development depended on a collective commitment to programmes and initiatives that would restore hope and enhance the quality of life for present and future generations.
Dr Suraj made the call on Friday during the celebration of the 69th Independence Day parade held at the Kadjebi-Asato Senior High School (KASEC) park in the Kadjebi District of the Oti Region.
The DCE noted that the country’s independence struggle was driven by the desire to secure freedom, dignity and prosperity for all citizens, adding that it was the responsibility of today’s leaders to uphold those ideals.
“We must work together as a people and focus on initiatives that bring real development to our communities. Political differences should not divide us but rather strengthen our resolve to build a better Ghana for all,” he said.
Dr Suraj emphasised the need for mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and unity among Ghanaians, noting that such values were essential for national growth and stability.
He encouraged students and the youth to remain disciplined, patriotic and committed to contributing positively to the development of their communities and the nation.
The colourful parade featured march-pasts by personnel from the security services, while the KASEC Police Cadet Corps and the YAHAT Karate Group thrilled the audience with spectacular drills and martial arts displays, drawing loud applause from dignitaries and spectators.
Present at the event were Mr Innocent Komla Gavua, Kadjebi District Coordinating Director; Mr Seth Seyram Deh, Kadjebi District Director of Education; Superintendent Frank Nana Asomaning, Kadjebi District Police Commander; Mr Emmanuel Cole, Headmaster of Kadjebi-Asato Senior High School; and Nana Kwasi Kram II, Adontenhene of the Asato Traditional Area.
Traditional authorities, political party representatives, heads of institutions, teachers, students and members of the public also attended the ceremony to commemorate the nation’s independence and reflect on the progress made over the years.
