The people of Mankron Nkwanta in the Agona East District of the Central Region last Saturday witnessed the enstoolment of a new chief after nearly ten years without one. Nana Onoma Amoako Ababio V, who now occupies the stool, swore an Oath of Allegiance to the kingmakers and residents of the town, pledging to respond to their needs at any time, whether day or night.
In his inaugural address, the chief urged the community to put aside differences and work together to preserve the peace currently enjoyed in the area. The ceremony was graced by the Member of Parliament for Agona East, Queenstar Maame Pokua Sawyer, who appealed to the chief to use his authority to guide the youth against being influenced by individuals seeking to spread negative stories about the town on social media. She cautioned that such practices serve narrow interests and could undermine development, as investors may be discouraged from bringing opportunities to the area.
The MP emphasized that unchecked misinformation could stall progress, stressing the importance of promoting genuine development initiatives. She noted that the NDC government under John Mahama is working to improve infrastructure and opportunities not only in the Central Region but across the country, and urged the people to support these efforts rather than engage in false propaganda.
