The newly confirmed Wa East District Chief Executive (DCE), Mr Ameen Salifu, has called on the chiefs and people of the district to come on board to vigorously start work to transform the district.
He said being one of the newly created districts, Wa East continued to lag behind in terms of infrastructure, among other development interventions.
“This district has a track record of infighting, divisiveness and negative attitudes towards development-oriented issues but this time round we have to move away from that and look ahead,” he stated.
Speaking to the Daily Graphic in Wa, Mr Salifu said it was about time people from the district shied away from such behavioural tendencies and channelled their energies towards the rapid development of the area.
He said it was his priority to mend fences and bring everyone on board for the socio-economic development of the area.
“As we speak now, I’m talking to the director of power, stakeholders in the telecommunications system.”
He said he was very focused and, therefore, would push very hard to transform the district during his tenure, adding, “We shall be doing great disservice to our people when we allow personal, ethnic and party affiliations to divide our ranks; let us bury all these else posterity would judge us as failing our people.”
On the acrimony which usually characterises the confirmation of the DCEs in the district, the new DCE advised the people of the area to resolve to vote for assembly members who had the development of the district at heart but not for people who continuously agitated over issues which tended to retard development in the district.
Mr Ameen expressed appreciation to all who made it possible for his confirmation to take place, and urged them to continue to rally behind him.
