Don't boast of school buildings as achievements - Okyehene

Okyehene and President of the Eastern Regional House of Chiefs, Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin has challenged government not to boast of building schools and other infrastructures as achievements since it is their responsibility to do so for Ghanaians.

He made these known at this year's edition of Okyeman congress at Bunso in the East Akim municipality in the Eastern region.

He also called for decentralisation of our government system if only we want to develop the economy. According to him the country cannot develop fully if government still runs the economy from the National capital, Accra.

"I have said it over and over again that Ghana can never develop if central government continues to manage the economy from Accra".

"Mining has had no impact on our communities as all mining communities continue to struggle for development" he said.

He has also accused President John Mahama of not meeting the regional balance in his appointment of Akyems in his government.

According to him, the development is hindering the progress of the Akyem kingdom.
