PARAMOUNT CHIEFS AT KADJEBI EXPRESS CONCERN (PAGE 14)

THE eight paramount chiefs in the Kadjebi District have expressed concern over subtle moves to change the status quo in the Kadjebi District regarding the appointment of a district chief executive (DCE) for the area.
In a communiqué issued after an extraordinary meeting held at Asato, during which the chiefs extended congratulations to President John Evans Atta Mills on his election and inauguration, they said: “Nananom are determined to sustain peace in the coming years and, therefore, call on the government to fulfil its share of peace through an appointment that will, as promised by His Excellency the President, have the full blessing of the traditional authorities of the area.”
They called on the government to consider nominating Mr Nicholas Fato for the post of DCE, explaining that they were not pre-empting or imposing anybody on the President but were making the suggestion in the spirit of the President’s promise to consult chiefs before making certain appointments, especially DCEs.
They contended that such an appointment would facilitate free communication, an understanding of the cultural heritage, the usage and practices of the people and the person would have a singular, undivided and permanent interest in the Kadjebi District.
