The Assembly
Member of Ahinsan Estate electoral area in the Kumasi metropolis ,Nana Yaw
Wiredu who doubles as the gazzeted Chief of Nyamekrom in the New Juaben in the
Eastern region,has rubbished the press release circulating in the various media
platforms and other networks that,he has been banished by the Ahinsanhene for
an embezzlement of funds.
The full statement
by Nana Yaw Wiredu reads,“For the avoidance of the doubting
Thomases,”Ahinsanhene gave out Ghc 50,000 for the two electoral areas; Ahinsan
electoral area and Ahinsan Estate electoral area respectively for developmental
projects from the Government’s compensation for the Ahinsan estate lands.
And out of the
amount, I Nana Yaw Wiredu received Ghc 25,000 and the remaining Ghc 25,000 went
to my colleague Assembly member for Ahinsan electoral area,hon.James Okyere for
development projects.
As has been
explained earlier and captured by a number of media houses, before the release
of the funds, we had explained to the Chief what we intended to use the funds
for projects which would be beneficial to the people of the two electoral
areas.
I told the Chief
that the people of Ahinsan estate were in dire need of mechanized boreholes and
improvement of lighting system. After receiving the said Ghc 25,000 from
Ahinsanhene, I also approached Bomsohemaa who had also received part of the
government’s compensation because my electoral stretched to her land.
And to enable us
get another borehole for those in that area, she didn’t hesitate and supported
the project with Ghc 10,000.
That out of the 35,000, I constructed two mechanized
boreholes with an overhead tanks at the cost of Ghc 32,000,plus the purchase of
brand new laptop for the nephew of Ahinsanhene at the coat of Ghc 1,200 upon
his request and the fixing of the streets lights. It is therefore baseless and
falsehood that I have failed to account for Ghc 15,000 meant for a toilet
facility.The contractor for the two mechanized boreholes which is being managed
by the Ahinsan estate community association is still alive for verification.
On the claim
that, I am not a chief of Nyamekrom with a stool name ,Nana Kwame Nnuro
Agyapong ll, the least said about that ,the better
because I am an accredited Chief of
Nyamekrom from the Oyoko Royal family who swear before Dasebre Emeritus Oti
Boateng , the Omanhene of New Juaben Traditional area and have also been
gazzeted by the Eastern regional House of Chiefs .l am challenging the claimers
of the Nyamekrom stool who were brought from the Northern region as labourers
by my grand father ,Nana Kwame Nnuro who have turned back claiming that, they
are Royals of Nyamekrom to forward their evidence to the House of Chiefs rather
than their lousy noise? “I remain the accredited chief of Nyamekrom”,Nana Yaw
Weridu noted.
