Veep urges chiefs to reduce disputes
Accra, Sept. 28, GNA - Vice President Kwesi
Amissah-Arthur has urged traditional leaders in
the Greater Accra Region to reduce land and
chieftaincy disputes in order to attract investors
to the region.

He said issues of land litigation and land guards
were creating insecurity for both domestic and
foreign investors who could not have their peace
to develop and create jobs for the people.

Vice President Amissah-Arthur said this when he
joined the chiefs and people of Ga-Dangme to
celebrate Homofest 2014 and World Tourism Day in
Accra on Saturday.

This year’s festival, which was on the theme:
“Unity and Development,” brought all the
chiefs and people of the Greater Accra Region
together to promote peace and unity.

The event was also used to showcase the rich
culture and tradition of the people of Ga-Dangme
through their history, music, stories, rituals and
dance.

Vice President Amissah-Arthur said the numerous
land litigations in the region threatened the
unity and development that the people were
striving to achieve.

He urged the traditional leaders not to resort to
violence to resolve problems as that could create
uncertainty and insecurity among the people.

Vice President Amissah-Arthur also charged the
traditional leaders to use festivals as ways to
promote development in the Greater Accra Region.

He said since June, this year, the Government had
had to cope with the outbreak of cholera in almost
all the regions of the country with many lives
lost and hospitals stretched in dealing with these
cases.

He said cholera is preventable and it was crucial
that the people addressed the poor sanitation
conditions in their communities to avoid the
disease.

Vice President Amissah-Arthur noted that recently
the Government had to mobilise support from
companies to help the assemblies to remove refuse
heaps in their electoral areas.

“We cannot create filth and expect somebody from
outside to come and clean it for us,” he added.

Vice President Amissah-Arthur expressed support
for the Ministry of Local Government and Rural
Development for the initiative to use one Saturday
in every month as self-help day to clean the
communities.

He called for collaboration between the chiefs and
various assemblies to mobilise the people to help
clean their communities.
