The Paramount Chief of the Prampram Traditional Area, Nene Tetteh Wakah III, has appealed to government to provide a lasting solution to the persistent water shortages that have plagued the community for years.
Addressing a colourful durbar to climax the weeklong Homowo festivities, he noted that despite previous interventions, including the supply of water tankers to some neighbourhoods, the situation has continued to worsen.
He lamented that large parts of the town went without water throughout the celebrations.
“These are not luxuries; they are basic necessities of life,” Nene Wakah III stressed, calling for urgent and permanent action.
The Paramount Chief reaffirmed Prampram’s commitment to development and urged the two traditional areas, together with Shai Osudoku, to unite and work collectively for the progress of their people.
“Let’s work together for unity and progress,” he added.
Four sub-divisional leaders pledged renewed loyalty to the stool and encouraged residents to embrace unity, wisdom, and resilience in the face of challenges.
“Let us not lose faith in our future,” the Chief said.
The durbar brought together traditional and religious leaders, business executives, residents, as well as the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Linda Ocloo, the Member of Parliament for the area, Sam George, and other government officials.
