A DUTCH business executive and philanthropist, Mr Arthur Paes, who has been enstooled an honorary chief of the Somey Traditional Area, has spent huge sums of money on development projects in some communities in the area.
Under the stool name Togbe Dunenyo I, he has provided seed money of GH¢3,000 to open an account for the Torgbui Dunenyo Development Fund.
Other projects being funded by the development chief include the construction of a six-unit classroom school block and also supplemented the community to undertake the Adina Water project.
Togbe Dunenyo has also undertaken a beautification project for the Ketu District Assembly and donated a computer and accessories, as well as a laptop, to the district assembly.
He has also presented two computers and accessories to the secretariat of the Makorsor's palace and the Ketu Queen's Association, to enhance their administrative work.
Torgbui Dunenyo has also promised to donate GH¢5,000 yearly to the development fund account for all mini projects in the traditional area.
Torgburi Dunenyo called on the people to set up a development planning committee to co-ordinate the development issues of the various committees, and collate and prioritise them for effective implementation.
He said by so doing, no community would feel marginalised in the development process.
The Makorsor of Somey, Torgburi Hor, commended Mr Paes for his interest in the area.
