We, the coalition of Tarkwa-Nsuaem Divisional Chiefs expresses our profound gratitude to H. E. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, President of the Republic of Ghana, for appointing our Son, Hon. George Mireku Duker (MP) as the Deputy Minister of Lands and Natural Resources to serve in his government.

Tarkwa-Nsuaem Municipal accounts significantly towards the exploitation of mineral resources in the country which have been a strong backbone of Ghana’s economic growth. Against this backdrop, we are very enthused to state that, this is the first time a legislator of the Tarkwa-Nsuaem Constituency has been appointed a sectorial Minister which reflects the heritage of what Tarkwa is best known for in history. We are very grateful to His Excellency the President for this great honour bestowed on us.

We also use this opportunity to humbly remind the President that, we are for the development of Tarkwa-Nsuaem and believes that, the MP should be supported by a hardworking and a dedicated Municipal Chief Executive. On this call, we humbly call on Mr. President to re-appoint Hon. Benjamin Kessie since the latter has performed remarkably in a short period of time with a very cordial working relationship with the MP and Nananom. We believe, the combination of the duo coupled with our support will accelerate the needed development in Tarkwa-Nsauem.

Meanwhile, Tarkwa roads are in a very bad state. We are very much aware of the efforts by the Political leadership to fix it. We are also privy to information that, contractor for the Agona-Nkwanta-Tarkwa road is expected on site next month. Therefore, we use this opportunity to plead with Mr. President and all those that matter to ensure that, Tarkwa’s road infrastructure is properly worked on urgently. We want to remember this government as a government that significantly improved the condition of Tarkwa roads.

In a nutshell, we assure H. E. the President that, we will support Hon. George Mireku Duker and Hon. Benjamin Kesse to deliver the necessary development that befits the good people of Tarkwa-Nsuaem and Ghana at large. Thank you.

Signed.
Nana Kwabena Gyan II
