Bosome-Freho Again; Some Ministers Are Allegedly In Bed With The DCE In The Practice Of Illegal Mining

 

 Bosome-Freho Again; Some Ministers Are Allegedly In Bed With The DCE In The Practice Of Illegal Mining


Like there are many uncelebrated Ghanaian geniuses, there are many constituencies and areas in Ghana embedded with so much potential but have received little or no attention over the past decade. It is not a debate that for Ghana to develop, there is the need for a fair and proportional distribution of funds, resources and attention to all communities in the country. Bosome-Freho is among one of the least supported constituencies in Ghana, and it is in the Ashanti Region where the ruling party derives its energy and strength from. As a constituent, my primary aim for this article is to draw the attention of the President of the Republic, His excellency , Nana Addo Dankwah Akuffo Addo on this matter.

I am very much aware of the duties and responsibilities of the Member lof Parliament,  as against the District Chief Executive (DCE). I am not jaundiced towards the Member of Parliament but at the same time not oblivion about the fact that  the DCE is the only representative of the president in the area with executive powers, the issue of whether there would be development in the area largely depends on the DCE. This has been the bane of Bosome-Freho, that it never gets lucky when it comes to getting a competent leader for the office. 


Bosome-Freho has been hungry for many years for an educated DCE at least. It is an unfathomable reality that the constituency has not been relieved of it. The constituency has been deprived of intellectually-abled leadership that can captain the people of Bosome-Freho into economic freedom. The lack of planning, strategic positioning and visionary leadership have made Bosome the least of its peers such as Asante-Akyem and Bosomtwe. What is more, young people in the community as a consequence of this, have lacked proper role models to look up to. After all, anybody can be DCE. 


In addition to this, agriculture in the constituency has been sidelined for illegal mining. This is becoming increasingly worrying as it appears the decry of the constituents has not been seen and heard. It is becoming glaringly obvious that some Ministers are in bed with the DCE in the practice of illegal mining. How would he not throw his support behind the DCE? 

The people of Bosome-freho have expressed their disgust for the rapid destruction of their land as a result of galamsey but attempts to salvage the situation have been futile because "the big men" are involved. 


Bosome-Freho, a constituency with such beautiful people, stunning landscape and major tourist sites must not be left at the mercy of selfish leaders. With right planning and genuine care for the people, the constituency can become one of the most iconic in the Ashanti region. We are therefore calling for swift action to be taken by the President of the Republic and the leadership of the New Patriotic Party as this situation can have negative significance on the party's popularity in the constituency.

The the Assin Obobakokrowa D/A Basic School has not seen any major rehabilitation since its establishment in 1970s. Parents and residents in and around the community are appealing for urgent assistance due to the deteriorating condition of their classroom blocks .  The school's infrastructure has become unsafe, forcing pupils to learn under dire circumstances.
