Barima Mintah Afari II, the Chief of Chiraa in the Sunyani West Municipality in the Bono Region, has voiced his displeasure of the “dumsor,” or erratic electricity supply.
Heads must roll at NEDCo in the Bono region, according to Barima Mintah Afari, if their duties have grown challenging to carry out, which is causing dumsor.
According to the Chiraahene, certain VRA/NEDCo employees might undermine the system in order to undermine the NDC administration by depicting it as a “dumsor” government. She also says that some employees might get involved in politics in order to damage the government’s reputation.
The Chief disclosed that, as a result of the recent power supply volatility, he is under tremendous pressure from the people of Chiraa.
According to him, his residents have raised persistent concerns over the unstable power supply, which continues to disrupt both commercial and domestic activities.
He lamented that he had been inundated with calls from residents urging him to intervene and help resolve the power crisis even though he’s a traditional leader.
Barima Mintah Afari made these remarks when the MP for Sunyani West paid a courtesy call on him at his palace in Chiraa on Easter Monday to officially introduce the Sunyani West MCE and the newly elected presiding Member to the Chiraa Traditional Council.
The Chiraahene, Barima Mintah Afari II, in his advice to the political leaders, urged the Member of Parliament for Sunyani West Constituency and the Municipal Chief Executive to ensure fair allocation of projects for all constituents to benefit.
He noted that despite the many geological and traditional areas that fall within the municipality, it’s appropriate for political leaders to shun bias towards sharing development.
Every community should have equal access to opportunities and growth, free from discrimination based on ancestry or place of birth, according to Chiraahene.
Chiraahene’s later appeal for the MP and MCE to offer more projects to his area in order to raise the standard of living, however, appears to be at odds with his earlier call for fairness.
In order to advance Sunyani West, Nana Mintah Afari also exhorted the leaders to work together and show respect for traditional leaders.
Furthermore, Barima Mintah Afari gave the assembly the task of moving illegal container erections in Chiraa. She promised to supply the land needed to move all of the containers to the suggested location, claiming that doing so would contribute to the creation of a respectable community plan.
