I will not interfere in chieftaincy issues – Jaman South MP

Japekrom(Bono), Mar. 07, Mr William Okofo
–Darteh, Member of Parliament (MP) for Jaman
South in the Bono Region, has vowed not to
interfere or seek to align himself to any local
chief for political gain.

I will rather engage all the people and their
leaders to forge a united front for the
development of the area.

The Jaman South MP who paid a courtesy call on the
president of the Mpuasu/Japekrom Traditional
Council, at his palace, said, “I`m counting on
your cooperation and support as traditional
overlords and your counter-parts in the entire
Jaman South traditional enclave to rally behind me
in my quest to bring socio-economic development to
the entire constituency.”

Mr. Okofo Darteh pleaded with the chiefs in the
Jaman South to look beyond traditional politics
and factionalism and seek the progress and welfare
of the people.

“If you, our traditional overlords in the Jaman
South are not united in diversity but divided
along chieftaincy and partisan politics, there is
no hope of a possible way we can get our share of
the national cake from the government,” he
stressed

He pledge his support to the on-going Japekrom
Hospital project as well as all development
projects to uplift the living standards of the
people.

The Aduanahene of the Mpuasu/Japekrom Traditional
Council, Nana Asare Kotimako, who represented the
Omanhene Okatakyie Amoa Aturu Nkonkonkyia II, and
granted audience to the MP and and his entourage
at the chief`s palace at Japekrom, said the vow by
the MP not to allow himself to be manipulated by
any traditional overlord in the constituency was a
wake-up call to action.

Nana Aduanahene advised him to strictly adhere to
decorum, civility and fairness in his dealings
with people.
