The paramount chief of the Dorma Traditional Council and president of the Bono House of Chiefs, Osagyefuo Oseadeeyo Agyeman Badu II, has expressed renewed confidence in the government’s Agenda 111 initiative following a recent courtesy visit from Vice-President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
During the Vice President’s tour, the chief and his elders attended a Stakeholder Consultation Forum on October 9 at the Dormaahene Palace, where they discussed various developmental issues impacting the region.
In his remarks, the Dormaahene acknowledged the initial skepticism surrounding Agenda 111 but noted that the government’s commitment and progress have alleviated those doubts.
He emphasized the initiative’s potential to enhance healthcare facilities in the area and its positive impact on the community’s well-being.
Additionally, the chief discussed the “One District, One Factory” project in Dormaa East, calling for further development initiatives in the region.
He also expressed his support for Vice-President Bawumia’s campaign, wishing him success in his pursuit to lead the nation.
Osagyefuo Oseadeeyo Agyeman Badu II highlighted the importance of ongoing collaboration between traditional leaders and the government to drive development efforts that meet the community’s needs and aspirations.
In addressing environmental issues, he voiced strong opposition to illegal mining, commonly known as galamsey, urging the government to take decisive action to combat this threat and advocating for sustainable practices to protect the environment for future generations.
“My Vice-President, it is true we chiefs don’t do politics, but as your spokesperson, Dr Gideon Boako mentioned during the introduction we can not close our eyes to the many development interventions your government has brought to Ghana, and also Dormaaman.”
“Here at Dormaa, we are very much aware of the many road improvements you have brought to us. We can boast of asphalts here, and even my palace has benefited,” he said.
