Ejisu Omanhen ask politicians to focus on development issues

Ejisu (Ash), Sept. 17, GNA – The Omanhene (Paramount Chief) of Ejisu, Nana Afrane Okesse IV, has reminded government officials about the need to focus on bringing development to the people.

He said people in public office should always put the general good of the people ahead of their personal comfort and convenience, adding that it should not be lost on them the high expectations of those who voted them into power.

They could therefore not afford to disappoint them, Nana Okesse said when Mr Kwaku Afrifa Yamoah-Ponkor; Ejisu-Juaben Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), paid a courtesy call on him to officially introduce himself to the chief.

The Omanhene expressed the need for traditional leaders to get involved in the development programmes of the district assemblies.

He advised the MCE to ensure openness and transparency in the performance of his duties.

Mr Yamoah-Ponkor pledged to work hard to help transform the living conditions of the people in the Municipality, adding that, he would be fair and not discriminatory.
