Chief influences investors to revamp Zuarungu Meat Processing Factory
Some foreign investors have expressed their
readiness to refurbish the Zuarungu Meat
Processing Factory following an appeal made to
them by the Paramount Chief of Chiana and
President of the Upper East Regional House of
Chiefs, Pe Ditundini Adiali Thomas-More.

The Paramount Chief, whose father was a key member
of a team that drafted the 1992 Constitution of
Ghana, is also said to be currently in talks with
some other investors to give a face-lift to the
Northern Star Tomato Processing Factory at Pwalugu
in the Talensi District and some other
non-operational factories across the Upper East
Region.

A statement given by his office to the press says
the move to revamp the collapsed factories is part
of his neutral vision to help the region and Ghana
as a whole to attain by the year 2030 the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on poverty,
hunger, education, health and environmental
protection among others. The office says the
refurbishment project would also help address
rural-urban migration and unemployment-related
crimes in the region and beyond.

The President of the Upper East Regional House of
Chiefs is among some five candidates for an
upcoming Council of State membership election in
the region. The election is scheduled for Friday,
February 12, 2021, at the House of Chiefs in the
regional capital, Bolgatanga.

“The Chiana Pio deserves the slot to represent
the region as a Member of the Council of State. He
is a unifier and he has effective lobbying skills.
As the President of the House of Chiefs, he has
been very firm in pushing for the unity and
development of the region. He does not
discriminate no matter the background you are
coming from. All he wants is to see to it that
everybody’s welfare is catered for. He has got a
lot of development plans for the region. He became
the President of the House of Chiefs just
recently, but look at the development he has
brought so far,” said one of the 30 delegates
who will be casting their votes this Friday.

Pe Ditundini Adiali Thomas-More is said to have
also assured the delegates that he will maintain
the Electoral College as a “pool of wisdom” to
guide his advice on state policies if elected a
Member of the Council of State at the Friday’s
election.

The contenders, as captured on a notice of poll
released this month by the Electoral Commission,
are: “Mosore Kugbilsong Nanlebetang, a
traditional ruler; Akurugu Eric Aligiyelah, a
teacher; Yaw Mort, a businessman; Akamboe
Ayirebasia, a public servant and Ditundini Adiali
Thomas-More.”
