Give us Oti Region

The new Krachiwura, Nana Mprah Besemunah III has re- echoed the determination to fully lend their support to the proposal for the creation of the Oti region.

Nana Mprah Besemunah III who is the 21st Krachiwura is known in private life as Joe Como Mprah, a Commissioner of Police in charge of Technical and General Services at the National Police Headquarters Accra.

The new Krachiwura emphasised that it is the people's right to call for a region of their own, because the government officials felt reluctant to come to the district to assist in finding solution to their numerous problems.

He said the creation of the new region if approved would enhance development in their part of the region.

Speaking during the out-dooring ceremony at Kete Krachi, the Krachiwura, Nana Mprah Besemunah III called on the people to bury their political difference unconditionally.

He said he would ensure that record of all cases of litigation pending in the civil and traditional courts are withdrawn as a gesture of peace for amicable settlement.
