Register to enable you vote come
December-Ga Mantse
Amasaman, July 27, GNA - Ga Mantse, Nii Tackie Tawiah III,
on Sunday called on people to take advantage of the opening
of the voters’ register on July 31 to register to enable
them to exercise their franchise in the December election.
“It is the responsibility of every Ghanaian who has attained
18 years to vote and help chose a person who would help
develop the country,” Nii Tackie Tawiah said at a durbar
held in Amasaman to end the 3rd Annual Homowo School.
The Annual Homowo School seeks to deepen the democratic
governance and effective participation in decision making
and implementation in districts, municipal and metropolitan
areas.
He appealed to traditional leaders to harmonise
opportunities in traditional governance for local and
national development and to do away with land litigation
since it could stall development of the area.
Nii Tackie Tawiah said the only tool that could bring peace
and harmony was unity and the people not to sell land but to
enter into joint venture with investors.
Nii Tetey Okpe II, President of Ga West Chiefs Association,
called on the Ga state to respect their kings to create the
needed platform to bring traditional rulers and their
subjects together for development.
Mr Stephen Owusu-Afriyie, Municipal Chief Executive of Ga
South Municipal Assembly, said the youth needed to be
strengthened to take on new challenges of socio-economic
development to ensure national progress.
He charged on participants of the 3rd Annual Homowo School
to be at the forefront of the struggle for peace and
stability in their various communities.
