The District Chief Executive (DCE) for Kwahu East, Samuel Asamoah, has expressed concern over the growing number of chieftaincy disputes in the district, warning that they are significantly slowing down development projects.
According to Mr. Asamoah, the government has allocated funds for key initiatives in the area, but progress has stalled due to ongoing traditional leadership conflicts. He appealed to chiefs and opinion leaders to work with the Kwahu Traditional Council to resolve these disputes and create a stable environment for growth.
“Government resources are available, but the disputes are holding everything back,” he stated. “We can only see real progress when there is peace and cooperation among our traditional leaders.”
Mr. Asamoah made the remarks during the commissioning of a water and toilet project constructed by the Chief of Daanyansah, Nana Osei Amoafo, to improve sanitation and water access in the community.
Nana Amoafo said his initiative aims to reduce open defecation and water shortages, adding that education is his next focus.
“The children in this community walk long distances to attend school in other towns,” he said. “We need a school here, and I am calling on stakeholders to support this cause.”
The DCE commended Nana Osei Amoafo’s efforts and urged other traditional leaders to emulate his example by championing development in their communities.
