Paramount Chief (Omanhene ) of Adeiso in the Upper West Akim District of the Eastern Region, Osabarima Asare Oduro II, has taken the District Chief Executive (DCE) for the area, Mr. Eugene Sackey to the highest cleanest accused the latter of failing to bring the needed social and infrastructural intervention developmental projects and programs to Adeiso which is the capital of Upper West Akim District.
Consequently, the aggrieved paramount chief accused Mr. Sackey of selling out a road grader at the Assembly without the knowledge of technocrats and the chiefs contributed to the purchase of the grader for the Assembly.
Mincing no words, Osabarima Asare Oduro II dared the DCE to submit himself to public scrutiny if he should claim that he has not sold out the grader.
According to him, the people of Adeiso and its adjoining communities were neglected of their share of the national cake due to the current DCE inability to impress upon the government to develop Adeiso enclaves of the district.
The beef of the paramount chief stemmed from the persistent delay in the starting of the construction of One-District-One-Hospital in Adeiso under the Agenda 111 Project of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo led New Patriotic Party (NPP) government.
The chief stated that he and his elders including the people of Yaw Obeng have allocated a huge land for the construction of the hospital project in Adesso when the government has approached them and assured them that it would give the Adesso a district modern hospital.
He pointed out that the land they had doled out to the government to use for the project was sitting down fallow, developing huge brushes although those who are farming on the land were deprived of using the land for farming activities.
Osabarima Asare Oduro II noted that instead of the current DCE who is the representative of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to do a proper follow-up on the project, he was sitting comfortably in his office making a series of verbal projections that the hospital project would surely come to life in Adesso.
"We are tired of the continuous promises of the DCE to tell us that the project would surely come on. Because the Adesso and Obeng Yaw people had come together to secure the huge land for the project. Those who are previously farming on the lands were also asked to stop their farming activities because of the project. So why is still that the project is not starting," the chief angrily queried.
"I am very annoyed about the DCE because the DCE is the major cause of the delay of our hospital project. This is because since the government has planned to bring the project to Adesso, the DCE who has been the representative of the government should have continued to put pressure on the construction of the project but he woefully fails to do so.
"What is very painful was that the DCE has also failed to explain to the chiefs and elders of Adesso why the project was still not coming on board," the chief further angrily stated.
According to him, the checks conducted have indicated that some districts have gotten the government to start the construction of their One-District-One-Hospital projects, leaving the people in Adesso on the hook.
The wishing-wisher attitude of the DCE, according to the chief, was completely drawing back the development of the area, the situation which has argued him to descend heavily on the DCE to let him wake up from his slumber.
"Our DCE is not helping the government at all when it comes to the implementation of the government programs, policies, projects, and agenda in Adesso and its adjoining community," Osabarima Asare Oduro II maintained.
The chief pointed out " l want to tell the government that the current DCE appointed by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo was making the government unpopular in Adesso and its adjoining communities because he failed to improve the living conditions of bringing the people of Adesso and its adjoining communities."
He pointed out that "if you have come to take my land for the government project and you are not putting the facility on the land then we have to rethink to take over our land back to use for another important community development project," the chief stressed.
"Again l want state categorically that I am not happy about the conduct of the current DCE since the central government has planned to bring the project to the area, and that the DCE being the representative the president in Upper West Akim District could not help to bring such project to life, it means that the DCE has failed to do his work," he reiterated.
The chief stated that before the President appoint Mr. Sackey to become the DCE of the Upper West Akim District Assembly, the Adesso has a road grader.
He said the current DCE came to meet the grader and all of the sudden "we saw that the grader has been removed from the office of the Assembly and when "l asked them he was told that it was spoiled and the Assembly is going to repair it."
He expressed surprise that for the past four years that the Assembly has not repaired the machine.
"We were told that the DCE has sold the grader so if you sold the grader. So you (referring to the DCE) sold the grader that we used our money to buy for the Assembly to be used to do some construction works in Adesso,?
"So now that we need the grader if you are going to hire one, are they not going to take money from us to hire different grader,". So the DCE always wants to cause financial loss to the Assembly and the government. And that he always want to destroy what you suppose to do, not thinking that that thing would have a devastating effect on the assembly, the chief stressed.
"As for me, I am saying that our grader that is missing in the Assembly, our elders must quickly rise so that we ask the DCE who he sold the grader to," the chief stated.
Meanwhile, this news outlet gathered that when the DCE got information that the Adesso paramount chief has got annoyed of the delayed of the project and has spoken to the media to tell the public about his anger, he quickly organized the contractors to go to the site and started clearing the land to create the impression that the project has begun.
When contacted, the DCE has denied selling the grader to the Assembly, saying that the grader was under repair at the workshop of JA Plant Pool in Accra.
On the issue of the delaying of the construction of the hospital project, Mr. Sackey stated that he or the Assembly cannot be blamed for the delay in the starting of the project.
According to the DCE, although the Assembly takes an oversight responsibility of the One-District-One-Hospital project, the Assembly is not the financier of the project.
He explained that the project which was under the Agenda 111 project is being done from the President's Special Initiative to improve the health care needs of the people in the country.
