Be careful those you take as advisers - Chief
Cautions political leaders
Asekye-Krukese (B/A), July 28, Ghanadot/GNA
– Nana Poku Dankonto II, Chief of Asekye-Krukese in the
Nkoranza North District, has stated that the success of
personalities in leadership positions largely depends on
their advisors and staff.
He therefore urged traditional rulers, political and
religious leaders to be extra cautious of people they worked
with to avoid making mistakes that would invite criticisms
about their administration.
Nana Dankonto made the remark when he welcomed the District
Chief Executive (DCE) of the area, Mr. Kwadwo Adjei-Dwomoh,
to the community.
The chief deplored the practice by which some elders and
political party supporters criticize leaders unnecessarily,
and said it retards progress.
Nana Dankonto called on residents of the area to support the
DCE to accelerate the development of the district.
He advised the DCE to respect the views of the people and
operate an open door administration to win the confidence of
the people.
Mr. John Opoku, Assembly Member, called on the district
assembly to provide the community with low tension poles for
the extension of electricity to the newly developed areas.
He appealed for the construction of a place of convenience
to enhance sanitation in the community.
Mr. Opoku noted that the only grinding machine at the gari
processing factory in the area had broken down and had
affected the economic activities of women, and appealed to
the assembly to rehabilitate it.
The DCE commended the people for giving him a rousing
welcome, and assured them that the district assembly would
ensure the equitable distribution of its resources to all
communities.
He appealed to the people to bury their political
differences and forge ahead in unity so they would
collectively initiate and complete development programmes.
