Atwima Nwabiagya MCE fingered in death of JHS boy in uncovered galamsey pit

A Junior High School (JHS) student has died after falling into an open galamsey pit at Akuapem, a farming community in the Atwima Nwabiagya Municipality of the Ashanti Region.

Residents reveal that the deceased believed to be 15 years of age, was returning from school when he fell into the uncovered pit dug by illegal miners operating in the area.

The body has since been retrieved and an official complaint lodged with the Mankranso Police Station who confirmed the unfortunate development to MyNewsGh.com and added that the incident occurred on Monday, June 28, 2021.

Residents are however charged against the Municipal Chief Executive(MCE)  for the area, Michael Amoah Awuku for failing to take action in dealing with the issue of illegal mining otherwise known as galamsey in the area

Galamsey

Michael Amoah Awuku who appears to be seriously losing favour with chiefs and residents of the Atwima-Nwabiagya South, has been fingered for his alleged involvement in illegal mining known popularly as galamsey

He is said to be engaged in the act through his agent identified as Mohammed Yahaya an Assembly member for Ntabanu electoral area who is also a deputy NDC organizer within the municipal.

Illegal mining activities in the area is detrimental to River Mankran, the only source of drinking water in the community and its environs.

Several attempts to report to the MCE of this bad conduct proved futile as members of the community revealed that the MCE is a beneficiary of the said illegal mining activities within the Ntabanu area and has therefore refused to take action against its proliferation.

Victimization of Assembly members

Assemblyman for Sepaase Electoral Area Joseph Aboagye believes the MCE is using his position to victimize persons who are struggling to develop the area.

He disclosed that several projects he initiated including the building of classroom blocks, markets and others never got the needed support from the assembly because he is not in the good books of Michael Amoah Awuku following fallouts from the NPP Presidential and parliamentary primaries in 2012 when the Assemblyman and others were supporting then candidate Akufo-Addo and Hon. Anthony Osei Boakye . Whiles the MCE was supporting Anhwere and other Presidential candidate instead of Nana Akufo-Addo then

“Because the MCE is fighting with me, he has refused to allow projects go to my community thereby denying the people their fair share of the national cake. His argument is that some of the assembly members never supported the person he also supported during the NPP primaries. What worsened the situation is the current MCE race because he knows I am not in support of his second term bid”, he revealed.

According to him, with over 12 years as an assemblyman, he has worked with other MCEs but the current one is incompetent and not fit for the job indicating that he is not the only person who is against his second coming.

“All he did is the ongoing police station being constructed. I helped to construct a market but because I initiated it, he together and the MP are making us suffer just because we supported another candidate during the NPP primaries which is our right”, he stressed.

Mr. Joseph Aboagye explicitly stated that it would be a disaster to maintain Michael Amoah Awuku who has succeeded in creating factions in the hitherto united communities with a common purpose in pursuit of his personal agenda.

He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to.
