Ekumfi youth descend on minister for allegedly insulting their chief
The youth of Mfantseman in the Central region, are
demanding an unqualified apology from the Minister
of Water Resources, Works and Housing, Collins
Dauda, for allegedly insulting the Acting
President of the Ekumfi Traditional Council.

The chief, Nana Inpriem VII, accused the minister
of delaying the water project for the people of
Ekumfi, when President Mahama inspected the
Esakyer water project.

The minister, in a radio interview a few days
later, is alleged to have asked the acting
president of the Ekumfi traditional council not to
behave ignorantly.

The minister is further alleged to have retorted
that [the chief did not know how things work in
government regarding loan agreements and that he
should not ignorantly accuse him of intentionally
delaying the project].

Joy FM's Correspondent, Richard Kwodwo Nyarko,
reported that the youth have therefore requested
the minister to render an unqualified apology for
insulting the chief and people of Ekumfi.

In a press conference organized by the youth in
the area, Public Relations Officer (PRO) for the
Mfansteman Youth, Wisdom Anaglate, called on the
minister to ensure that the processing of the loan
is done as soon as possible for the commencement
of the project.
