The Paramount Chief of the Nsien Traditional Area in the Western Region, Awulai Agyefi Kwame, voiced his frustration about the administration of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, calling it a failure for the people of the Western Region in terms of development in the region.
According to him, he is disappointed with the government’s approach to meeting the needs of the region. He emphasized that the Western region did not receive the respect and dignity it deserved, looking at the expense of minerals extracted from the Western region.
He said the “4 More, 4 Nana” campaign has harmed more than good, looking at the condition of the roads, especially on the section from Agona Nkwanta to Takoradi. Nana Awulai Agyefi Kwame said,
“If we are supposed to speak the truth, our roads have deteriorated more during this NPP era than any other government. The government’s failure in the Western region is evident. Simply put, ‘Four More for Nana’ has been a disaster for the Western region.
“If we discuss the minerals they receive from this region to develop the country…most leaders, including Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, hailed from this region, and this is our reward,” he said in an exclusive interview with the media.
He also lamented the absence of the region’s voice in government.
“I am saying that the voice of the Western Region is not heard in Nana Akufo-Addo and Dr. Bawumia’s NPP government. If Nananom doesn’t wake up, our roads will deteriorate even further than they are now,” he added.
