“Galamsey Fight Has Improved Quality Of Our Water Bodies” – Chief Of Breman Tells President Akufo-Addo
“Ghana, Asankragwaman, Wassa Amenfiman, and Enchi man
are grateful to you. If God had not made you President, all our water
bodies would have been destroyed by now. Before you came into office,
there was no way we could drink from our rivers and streams. However,
today, as a result of your fight against galamsey, we are able to do so.
We thank you, President Akufo-Addo, and your government for making this
possible.”
These were the words of the Chief of Asankran-Breman,
Nana Kwabena Amenemah II, on Saturday, 9th June, 2018, when the
President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, visited Breman,
in the Amenfi West constituency, to cut the sod for the construction of
the 25 kilometre Asankragwa-Fordjuorkrom road.
With President Akufo-Addo having disclosed, on
Friday, 8th June, 2018, at Kojina, in the Bibiani/Anhwiaso/Bekwai
constituency, that a decision on government’s ban on small-scale mining
would be made soon, the Breman Chief was confident that the days of
miners destroying water bodies and lands were over.
“We are certain that the policies and measures you
are putting in place, during the period of the ban on small scale
mining, will mean that the destruction of our water bodies and
vegetation by miners will end. As Chiefs, we will also make sure that
small scale miners do not destroy our lands or pollute or water bodies,”
Nana Kwabena Amenemah II.
1½ year record superior
Touching on the achievements of the Akufo-Addo
government in one and half years of being in office, the Chief of Breman
noted that all of Breman, Wassa Amenfi, and, indeed, all of Ghana, are
aware of the work President Akufo-Addo has done.
“The amount of work undertaken, and the achievements
chalked by this government in just one and half years of being in
office, surpasses the 4-year work done some other government,” Nana
Kwabena Amenemah II said, to a rousing applause of approval from the
gathering.
The Chief noted that President Akufo-Addo’s
government, school-going children who had completed Junior High School,
and as a result of financial difficulties, were unable to continue their
education.
“A brilliant student, due to the fact that his
parents were poor, was denied the chance to go to school.
Today, this is
not the case because of the government of President Akufo-Addo. Free
SHS is now here with us, and we have to commend the government of
President Akufo-Addo,” he added.
Again, the Chief commended President Akufo-Addo for
upgrading Amenfi West from a district to a municipality, and fulfilling
his campaign pledge of constructing the 25 kilometre
Asankragwa-Fordjuorkrom road, adding that “no government in the history
of Ghana has done the things President Akufo-Addo has done.”
The Chief continued, “Today, as a result of his
achievements, I, Nana Kwabena Amenamah II, Chief of Asankran-Breman,
confer the title of ‘Oseadeayor’ to the name of President Akufo-Addo. He
has said it, and he has done it. So, from today, he is called
Oseadeayor Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo I. We are very satisfied with
your government.”
Whilst not “engaging in politics”, Nana Kwabena
Amenemah II stated that “we are all witnesses to what you have done,
and, together, we will ensure the longevity of your government, so that
your policies and programmes benefit the Ghanaian people.”
