THE President of the Eastern Regional House of Chiefs, Ologo Darwutey IV, has commended the Eastern Regional Minister, Mr Kwadwo Affram Asiedu, for helping to resolve some of the protracted chieftaincy disputes in the region.
He noted that his intervention had brought some of the feuding factions together to dialogue and find amicable solutions to their differences.
Ologo Darwutey made the commendation when he held a durbar in honour of the Minister of Chieftaincy and Culture, Mr Sampson Boafo at his palace in Somanya.
Mr Boafo was on a four-day working visit to the region to acquaint himself with the various challenges facing traditional authorities and to also solicit their support towards the conduct of peaceful elections in December, this year.
Ologo Darwutey said “Mr Asiedu’s commitment towards the progress of the area since his appointment as the regional minister, had ensured greater unity and peace among the people”.
Ologo Darwutey, who is the Konor of the Yilo Krobo Traditional Area, mentioned the efforts being made by the regional minister, in collaboration with chiefs and the Ministry of Chieftaincy and Culture, which had helped to resolve some of the protracted disputes hindering the rapid development of the affected area.
“Fortunately for us, our joint commitment in resolving chieftaincy disputes in this part of the country, including Yilo Krobo, has fostered greater unity and peaceful co-existence among the people,” Ologo Darwutey stated.
To sustain peace and address other unresolved disputes in the region, he sought the support of other stakeholders from Mr Asiedu and Mr Boafo to handle sensitive issues affecting the chieftaincy institution in the area.
Mr Asiedu expressed his gratitude to Mr Boafo, the chiefs and the Eastern Regional Security Committee (REGSEC) for helping to find solutions to the numerous disputes in the region.
“Our efforts have yielded enormous positive results as some of the feuding factions have compromised their entrenched positions and are prepared to dialogue with each other, a sign of resolving their differences,” Mr Asiedu stated.
He specifically made mention of the disputes between the people of Asamankese and Anum, Kwahu Obomeng, Akwamuwufie and Akyem Oda as some of the disputes being addressed.
Mr Boafo said since the chieftaincy institution played a complementary role of good governance and the promotion of development, the government would continue to lend its support to enable traditional rulers to play their expected roles in society.
