COMMUNITY LEADERS IN CEMETARY ROAD ELECTORAL AREA PLAN TO CONTRIBUTE FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THEIR COMMUNITY: ROAD NETWORK FIRST PRIORITY.

On Friday, 13/04/2018, community leaders ( Odikro) from communities in the cemetery road electoral area in Prestea met at Prestea Urban Council to deliberate on how they can team up and raise funds to support the Prestea Huni-Valley Municipal Assembly on pivotal projects very urgent to the development their communities.
The meeting was convened by Alhaji Nuhu Mohammed, a Muslim tribal Chief, a Coordinator for the ruling New Patriotic Party and a Unity Committee Member for the Cemetary Road Electoral Area. He was being assisted by Alhaji Amuda, NASARA Coordinator for the ruling New Patriotic Party and Islamic leader.

The meeting was Chaired by Nana Kwame Ackah, Odikro for Subri-Nkwanta (Cocoa shed). The other community leaders who were present include Charles Botwe, Kissiaho; Nana Atobra, Odikro, Kissiaho; Issac Arhin, Kissiaho; Nana Kofi Frimpong, Odikro, Amape; Nana Nte Adjei, Odikro, Kwasikoko; Samuel Nana Muti, Odikro; Subri; Nana Yaw Boateng, Odikro, Afukey; James Tenge, Afukey; Nana Amoah, Odikro, Broni-Nkwanta; Nana Oppong, Odikro, Fuleso; Mahammed Adamu, Pewdie; Nana Gyapong, Odikro, No.1 Compound; Agya Ata, Amape, Paul Amponsah, Cemetary Road, and Emmanuel Afful Walker, Cemetary Road.
Briefing the elders, Alhaji Nuhu made it clear that, “if the community members help themselves, it will be easy for the Assembly to also support, rather that remaining idle and folding their arms and wait for government”. He added that, the main road from Prestea to No. 1- Afukey- Broni-Nkwanta- Kyurigum is very important and if the community leaders do not take initiative to raise some funds and partner the District Assembly, it will be difficult during the rainy season for cars to ply such roads”.
He briefed them on how they can form a committee immediately to start raising funds from the community members, especially those who work in these smaller communities and make a lot of money through their work. Such workers can contribute as well to support what the community can raise. He added that, if they get some funds, he can approach the Assembly to support and the community members use communal labour on repairing that stretch of feeder roads.
Alhaji Amuda also pointed that, government will soon work on rural electrification in these areas and connect all communities in these areas to the national grid.
Nana Kwame Ackah appealed that, they need four-phased electricity connections, so that they wouldn’t encounter problems when they are finally linked to the national grid.
The community members as a metter of urgency constituted the committee which includes the following persons:
1.       Nana Amua- No. 1 Compound
2.       Kwame Sowah—Amape
3.       Nana Amoah—Broni-Nkwanta

Supreme Court Nails Woyome

The Supreme Court has dismissed an attempt by businessman, Mr Alfred Agbesi Woyome, to have the ongoing legal proceedings in relation to his GH¢47.2 million debt owed the state moved to the High Court. In a ruling yesterday, the apex court, presided over by a sole justice, Mr Justice Anthony A. Benin, held that it had the power to enforce its judgement and, therefore, surrendering its jurisdiction to the High Court would be unconstitutional. The current legal battle is that the defunct UT Bank, through its receivers, is claiming ownership of two residential properties that the Attorney-General (A-G) says belong to Mr Woyome and, therefore, wants to sell to offset the debt. Objection Lead counsel for Mr Woyome, Mr Osafo Buabeng, had raised an objection challenging the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court to hear and determine the dispute, since it was under the High Court (Civil Procedure Rules, 2004, CI 47). It was counsel’s argument that hearing the case in ...

Lawyer Mrs. Barbara Oteng-Gyasi, who is also MP for Prestea Huni-Valley & MCE, Hon. Mozart K. Owuh over their efforts for the good people of Prestea Huni-Valley. Our Municipality is a gold mining area, and due to government efforts to sanitize Small Scale Mining, some individuals, who are involved in the illegal mining are deeply sponsoring the media and pushing agendas that the government of Nana Akuffo Addo hates them. It is important to note, these people have encouraged illegal mining for centuries, but our community is still in tatters. What they think about is THEIR STOMACH. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF PRESTEA HUNI-VALLEY. They do not care about increased health hazards associated with illegal mining. They don’t care about school drop outs due to galamsey. They do not care about incr...
