The Chairman of the Ahafo Regional Peace Council, Most Reverend Peter Kwaku Atuahene, has called on the government to provide adequate resources to enable the council to effectively carry out its mandate.
Speaking to Adom News in Goaso during the inauguration of the 13-member Ahafo Regional Peace Council, Most Rev. Atuahene revealed that the council has been operating under difficult conditions due to a lack of office space and financial support.
“For the past five years, we have been using a residential facility owned by the Church of Pentecost in Goaso as our office,” he said, stressing that this situation hampers the council’s work.
He also noted that financial constraints make it difficult to provide basic refreshments and allowances for council members during meetings.
He appealed directly to the government, particularly the Ahafo Regional Minister present at the event, to provide the necessary resources and logistical support to strengthen the council’s operations.
Meanwhile, Sheikh Armiyawo Shaibu, a member of the National Peace Council who officiated at the inauguration, urged the newly sworn-in members to uphold integrity and serve as role models in their communities.
He emphasised that the council’s credibility and effectiveness depend largely on the personal conduct of its members.
“If you carry yourselves well and demonstrate good character, your work in promoting peace will be easier and more impactful,” he advised.
