Aspiring MP urges peaceful
resolution of impasse over district capital
Gomoa Potsin Junction (C/R), July 18, Ghanadot/GNA – The
National Democratic Congress Parliamentary candidate for
Gomoa East, Mr. Ekow Panyin Okyere, has appealed to the
chiefs of the area to handle the impasse over the location
of the Gomoa East District Capital with circumspection in
order not to create divisions among the people.
Speaking to the Ghana News Agency at Potsin Junction, Mr
Okyere expressed regret that the people’s request to the
government for an additional district for the Gomoa area was
saddled with a controversy over the location of the capital,
when it was finally granted.
A legislative instrument establishing a new Gomoa East
Assembly has cited its capital at Afranse, but this
generated protests from the people who said they preferred
Gomoa Potsin.
Mr Okere called for an amicable solution to the impasse,
saying it was threatening to impede the development agenda
of the new district.
He appealed to well meaning citizens, including the youth
not to take sides or hold entrenched positions in the
matter.
