Nana Somuah Mireku Nyampong III, the Chief of Kwahu Asakraka, has asked the President-elect, Nana Akufo-Addo, to consider appointing citizens of Kwahu in his government.
The Chief made the appeal when the president-elect visited the area as part of his thank you tour of the Eastern Region.
Nana Somuah Mireku Nyampong III, who spoke on behalf of the Kwahu Traditional Council, said their appeal is necessary because they have stood by the NPP over the years.
“Kwahuman has never disappointed, rejected or neglected the NPP party ever, we have been loyal to the NPP party over the years and we will continue to stay loyal. So Nana Addo, if we have voted you into office please turn to us and consider the people of Kwahu.”
“…We have a lot of young intelligent, energetic graduates and academicians who come from Kwahu in this country. Mr President-elect please consider our children in your ministerial and presidential appointments, when the time comes because we the Kwahus have lacked citizens in government positions even though we have remained loyal to the NPP for so many years. Award Okwahuman by making some of our children presidential staffers and we will forever be grateful,” he added.
Construct our roads too
The Chief also requested for the construction of roads and a bridge on the Afram Plains River.
On his part, Akufo-Addo thanked the people of Kwahu for supporting him. He also assured them he will ffulfill promises he made to them during his campaign tour of the Eastern Region.
“The NPP is for the people of Kwahu, Nananom be patient for your government is in power now, with your help, support and prayers we will go through with the one district one factory policy as soon as possible to bring jobs to the youth. Bawumia and myself will bring smiles back to the people again and Ghanaians will be happy for we have the manpower, expertise and resources in this country, to do all what we have promised,” he added.

Nana the chief has it. There not give them the appointment and see. About 90% of the people in kwahu listen to what their chiefs say. Don't do it and next time go there that you are campaigning for votes and they would show where the power lies. This is what course mahama in most communities
It is not about giving appointments. It is about making Kwahu area economically active and prosperous. What is the point on making one Kwahu man a minister when thousands of others are unemployed? What we need are factories, jobs, houses, social well being of EVERYBODY in Kwahu. We don't need paltry appointments. We want living conditions in Kwahu to be so great that everybody will be forcing to come and live in Kwahu. THat cannot be done by just one or two ministers. It is about policy and implementation of economica programs. Kwahu chief, when you are asking, ask for proper things. By the way, are you not the same guy who endorsed Mahama?
It should be about appointing the best talents in Ghana who share in the president-elect's vision, people who can deliver concrete results, and it should not matter whichever tribes such competent talents come from.
