Kpandai, Ghana – Members of the Kpandai branch of the Konkomba Youth Association, have said they have no qualms about a decision by the Justice Brobbey Commission of enquiry in charge of the creation of new regions to make Kpandai remain in the Northern region.
A statement signed by secretary of the Association, Waja .T. Jimmy said : “ Our attention has been drawn to a press release in circulation in the media houses and signed by one Mr. Kofi Sey purported to be the stand of Konkomba Community in Kpandai on the removal of Kpandai District from the proposed
“Savannah Region which he alluded to the fact that majority of Konkombas in the District are against the Commission’s wisdom to exclude Kpandai from Savannah Region. We are writing to state unequivocally that KOYA Kpandai branch and the Konkomba chief of Kpandai the official mouthpiece of Konkombas in kpandai District have no knowledge of the said press release. We have no prior knowledge to the content of the said press release and disassociate ourselves from the writer and the content of the press release.”
The statement added : “Furthermore, we are not privy to the official report submitted by the Commission of enquiry to His Excellency the President of the Republic on the creation of the regions on the 26th June 2018, which is reported to have recommended for Kpandai District to remain in the Northern Region. The development, which sparked reactions and counter reactions from the Gonja youth Association on the one hand and Nawuri and Nchumuru Youth Association on the other hand. We want to state emphatically that we have no objection whatsoever if the Commissioners in their wisdom so decide that Kpandai remains in the Northern Region. Individuals and groups have the right to express their opinions on national issues. However, where false attributions are made for personal gratification is worrying. Mr. Kofi Sey and the content of his press release should be treated with the contempt it deserves.
“We are by this press release reminding the public to be wary of individuals who have positioned themselves to muddy the waters of this regional re –demarcation exercise. The earlier we identify them and treat them with the contempt they deserve the better. Their activities will not inure to the development we are all yearning for but rather divide us along ethnic lines, which will not augur well for our wellbeing.
“In addition, we entreat the government and the public to completely disregard the writer and the content of his press release and any future press release that will come through Mr. Kofi Sey on issues relating to Konkombas in the Kpandai District. The official mouthpiece of Konkombas in Kpandai remains KOYA, Kpandai Branch and the Konkomba chief of Kpandai.
