Mrs. Rita Akosua Adjei Awatey, the Eastern Regional Minister-Designate, on Thursday, January 23, 2024 faced the Appointments Committee of the Parliament of Ghana for vetting. During the session, she made significant submissions outlining her vision for developing the region.

Firstly, Mrs. Awatey expressed her intention to collaborate with the Gender and Finance Ministries to establish the Women's Development Bank in the region, as promised by the National Democratic Congress (NDC). She believes this initiative will empower businesswomen in the region, enabling them to sustain their businesses.

Regarding illegal mining in the region, Mrs. Awatey assured her constituents that she would ensure regulations are enforced to put an end to illicit mining activities. This effort aims to promote proper, decent, and legal mining practices within the region.

Furthermore, the Eastern Regional Minister nominee emphasized the importance of fostering a strong relationship between Members of Parliament and Municipal Chief Executives. This partnership will facilitate development in their respective constituencies and municipalities. Mrs. Awatey also pledged to remain accessible to all, particularly Members of Parliament, regardless of their political affiliation, thereby building a collaborative force for regional development.

Lastly, Mrs. Awatey shared her vision for revitalizing ecotourism in the region. To achieve this goal, she plans to engage stakeholders and collaborate with relevant authorities.

It is evident that the Minister-Designate for the Eastern Region is well-equipped to tackle the challenges ahead. We wish her divine strength in discharging her duties as the Eastern Regional Minister following her approval by Parliament.

Yilo Klo do not have the moral right to bastardize the people of Kpongunor and Nuaso for same thing they did somewhere in 2017. That is not to say our people should fight for the right thing to be done via violent means and to destroy government properties. With this electric pole issue, until the culprits are apprehended, the people of Klo can not be associated with it. We are very much aware of the internal plans within ECG to make it look as if Klo people are violent, and nation wreckers.

From information known to me, there is a political hand in the feud between ECG and the people of Klo. One prominent member of the NPP and a government official from Yilo Klo has emphatically said it is through this happening that their party can best reward Klo for their unflinching support for the opposition (NDC) party. He even added that, we should even not expect any tangible development here in Klo from this government.

Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere…we need justice for our amputated brothers and sisters and the deceased young soul. What destroys a nation more than a state that brutalizes and kills its own citizens who are supposed to work and contribute towards its development? Who are the working force of the economy…is it the electric poles? Who is the state generating hydropower for to patronize? If you continue to amputate your citizens, how do you expect them to work and pay their taxes, and bills? You consciously continue to kill your people so that ‘animals’ should come and pay e-levy to help develop the country? What a government! The men are really at work 😏

We all have pretended not to be aware of what exactly started this whole feud. I remember people were asked to pay their bills (the inflated ones which ECG admitted was a technical problem) in installments. If ECG could tell the people this even after both parties have come to realize it was a technical challenge, you think the latter will not be suspicious of the former trying to still collect the wrong bills through the forceful installation of prepaid meters? We have suddenly made it look as if the service recipients are the problem and not the service providers.

Peace is when justice is present and not when mass agitation is absent. We will continue to agitate until justice is served on the table. The people of Kpongunor and Nuaso have my support for their fight against injustice. I, however, urge that the fight be non-violent and devoid of destruction of properties being it private or public.

Once we are divided, we’ll be conquered.

No support system for the youth

ADOLF NOMO

The Kroboland Youth is not Lazy!! Most of us are trying very very hard even with the nonexistent & poorly designed economic policies by our leaders(politicians & chiefs) on Kroboland. Come & see how the youth are trying their best everyday even though the kroboland system where leaders do not care is against us from birth.
Our politicians, Chiefs and community leaders on Kroboland, who intuitively believe many young people on Kroboland are not in work due to laziness, poor work ethic, or some kind of personal indulgence are wrong!!!
We have raw materials being mined & taken away but the youth are not benefiting!!!! No factory that would give us the chance to benefit from our raw material.
The companies mining the raw materials are not made/forced by our leaders to train Krobo youths to even take up jobs to manage the various mining sites on Kroboland.
There are no policies on kroboland to support young businesses.
There are no policies to support apprenticeships and artisans.
There are no policies to support our farmers!!!!
There are no policies to support our creative art industry(musicians/actors etc)
There are nothing at all. But come and see the way the Krobo youth is working very hard day and night to succeed. So don’t tell me Kroboland youth are lazy.

Picture: Angmortey Vincent Kroboland Youth(Mechanic) working hard even with no system of support.

Oh wow, a warning letter to a citizen who has decided to help put government on it toes? Ghana Police Service....is there integrity?

Ibrahim Kaaka Mohamed was a activist in Ejura Sekyeredumase Municipality. As a result of his activism, several threats from known and unknown persons reached him to either end his activism or they find a way to end themselves. Fast-forward, he was attacked by a mob and consequently died.

Over the night, I watched a Facebook live video of Efia Odo where she expressed her sentiment on the death of the gentleman. She urged her followers, most especially those supporting to be security conscious out there. The followers for the fear of attack on the public figure, they also said to the young lady (through the comments section) to move out of the country to America where the laws work. I then asked myself, though it's safer being there but was it not in America that George Floyd was murdered on the street by a police officer? So what should prevent us as a people to also make our systems work?

Is this the competent government we fought and cried for? Under our perceived most competent government, it causes persons their life to be citizens. Chaaaiiii, not all that glitters is GOLD ampa!

Yilo Krobo And Manya Krobo Hold Stakeholder Meeting With Ghana Water Company

The Yilo Krobo and Manya Krobo Municipalities today, the 15th of June 2021 held a stakeholder meeting with the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) in Somanya to brainstorm the acute water problem faced by the two Krobo lands in recent times.

It could be recalled, that the Information Services Department (ISD), Yilo Krobo office, through its situation report dated 19th April 2021 reported on water problem in the Yilo Krobo Municipality which appeared to be creating tension among some cross section of the Municipality especially in the Municipal Capital, Somanya where many houses connected with taps had not seen water flowed through their taps for weeks and in some cases for months. The situation had not seen any significant improvement ever since as many areas including Trom where the Yilo Krobo Municipal Assembly is located have not seen water flowed through their taps for weeks and months.

This development necessitated yet another stakeholder meeting today (third in the year) with the Ghana Water Company and with the Eastern Regional Minister, Hon. Seth Kwame Acheampong in attendance this time around. Also in attendance were the MCEs of Yilo Krobo and Lower Manya Krobo; Hon. Ebenezer Tetteh Kupualor and Hon. Simon Tetteh respectively and the NPP Second Vice Chairman of the Eastern Region, Mr. Richard Twum Barimah Koranteng (a native of Yilo Krobo) who is also the current Executive Secretary of the Volta River Authority Resettlement Trust Fund (VRA RTF) as well as the Eastern Regional Director of the Ghana Water Company (Ing. Asomani Nyarko), a representative from Public Utility Regulatory Commission (PURC), the Municipal Coordinating Director (MCD) for Yilo Krobo, the Presiding Members for both Yilo Krobo and Manya Krobo Assemblies and some Chiefs inter alia.

Some participants at the forum lamented that though the two sister districts were located close to the Volta River where water is pumped by the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) for distribution to its customers across the country, the Yilo Krobo and Manya Krobo for sometimes now have been experiencing water problem; something they found it difficult to understand. The discussion however revealed that obsolete pipe lines and old pipe lines meant for small population in the past which are still being used and illegal connections had been responsible in part for the problem. Both the Eastern Regional Minister and the Eastern Regional Director of the GWCL acknowledged the need for rehabilitation and expansion of the water facility in the Krobo enclave but were quick to add that this could not be done if people continue to evade paying their water bills either deliberately or through illegal connections to enable the GWCL leverage the needed resources for such rehabilitation and expansion works. The Regional Minister, Hon. Seth Kwame Acheampong made the point, that unless there was a political intervention, the GWCL as a company limited by guarantee has to do its expansion and rehabilitation works on its own balance sheet and this can only be possible if people pay their water bills. The Regional Minister however promised that all concerns raised at the stakeholder meeting would be taken up for redress.

However, in order to facilitate quick responses to issues in connection with water in the region, the GWCL said it is rolling out a telegram platform that is capable of hooking over two thousand (2,000) people and urged its customers including opinion leaders to hook onto the platform so that they can report any challenge faced in the production of water for quick and real time response.

Also, to facilitate easy payment of WATER BILLS the GWCL said it had signed up for short codes through various communication networks to enable customers pay their Water Bills from the comfort of their homes without having to travel to the offices of the GWCL to pay their bills. These short codes include; MTN MOBILE MONEY (*170 #), AIRTELTIGO MONEY (*110 #), VODAFONE CASH (*110 #).

The Regional Minister, Hon. Seth Kwame Acheampong had also disclosed at the meeting that he has lots of initiatives for the two sister districts and indicated that the two districts have about Thirty Million Ghana Cedis (GHC30m) accruing from the Odugbasi Limestone Mining as royalties sitting in an escrow accounts which could not be assessed all this while because of some issues and said that he was determined to ensure that the said money is released to the beneficiary districts so it can be used for development projects including improvement on water conditions in the Krobo lands.
