Chiraa leader Barima Minta Afari II said governance is a collective responsibility requiring all hands to be on deck to right the wrongs in the country.
He therefore calls on all Ghanaians to support President Akufo-Addo in his attempt to resolve the challenges facing the country.
The chief made the roll call during a durbar of the chiefs and residents of Chiraa in the western Sunyani district of the Bono region. The durbar was in honor of the president, who concluded his two-day working visit to the region.
A section of Ghanaians recently took to the streets of Accra to support the #FixTheCountry campaign which calls on the government to address the challenges citizens face in the country.
This, they said, includes rising youth unemployment, corruption, worsening security conditions, poor roads, ineffective health and education systems.
But the leader, Barima Minta Afari II, believes that governance issues cannot be the sole responsibility of one person.
“It is everyone’s responsibility, so I appeal to all of us to unite and help the president in his vision to help Ghana,” he said.
He wondered how Ghana can be fixed if citizens continue to indulge in galamsey, forest degradation, tax evasion, work delays, among others.
“But if we approach all things with a different and positive attitude, listen to what the president says and play our roles well, Ghana will certainly move forward in a direction that we all want,” he said.
Barima Minta Afari II, who is also the “Benkumhene” of Dormaa, expressed concern that Chiraa secondary school does not have an administrative blockage after 40 years and called on the president to help them in this regard.
He further stated that he would not challenge the president over the decision to build the district hospital in Odumase, the municipal capital of Sunyani West, but noted that they also deserve a proper health facility and others. developments because Chiraa is the gateway to the regional capital of the northern part of Ghana.
Barima Minta Afari II, board member of Bono Regional Hospital, added his voice to Sunyani leaders by calling on the president to transform the regional hospital into a teaching hospital and add a medical school to the University of Energy and Natural Resources, UENR.
For his part, President Akufo-Addo thanked the chiefs and people of Chiraa for their support during the last general elections and urged them to continue supporting his government.
He also asked them to thank their deputy Baffour Awuah on his behalf for his central role in his government.
He promised Chiraa SHS a brand new bus and also assured the chiefs that the city’s roads will be repaired as they are part of the ongoing road construction projects being undertaken by his government.
Meanwhile, part of the president’s entourage included Kwaku Agyemang Manu, Minister of Health, Baffour Awuah, Minister of Labor and Employment Relations, Alfred Tuah-Yeboah, Deputy Attorney General, Justina Owusu Banahene, Regional Minister de Bono, and Kwame Bafour, Bono’s regional president of the nuclear power plant.
