President Nana Akufo-Addo has highlighted the importance of an effective collaboration between government and chiefs to “enhance the governance of the country”.
Mr Akufo-Addo has said that he is “hoping that very soon a new partnership between you and the traditional rulers and the central government is going to be unveiled for the public discourse of our country”.
Mr Akufo-Addo is of the view that for government to succeed in its agenda of progress and prosperity it requires political leaders to form “an effective way of collaborating to address the concerns of our people”.
He made these comments when the president of the National House of Chiefs, Togbe Afede XIV, led a delegation from the House to pay a courtesy call on him on Tuesday, February 7.
The Agbogbomefia of the Asogli State said the House was “reorganising to support you (Akufo-Addo) to resolve all chieftaincy conflicts to help unite our people”, adding: “We are mobilising all our chiefs to play a greater role in governance.
“There is no room for apathetic spectators” hence the need for “every Ghanaian to lend their support” to the development of the country, Mr Akuffo continued.
He stated that the task of developing the country cannot be accomplished by only a few, hence the need for a greater collaboration between the presidency and the chieftaincy institution.
He applauded Mr Akufo-Addo’s “stance against corruption and [resolve] to fight it”. He singled out the asset declaration initiative by the president and the instruction to ministers to do the same.
Togbe Afede XIV said: “Many of your (Akufo-Addo’s) actions and pronouncements since assumption of office are very reassuring; we commend you and assure you of our support.”
He noted that the House is “excited about your 1-dsitrict-1-factory [policy] and see it as an [avenue for] jobs for our people”.
He praised Akufo-Addo’s vision for the railway, aviation and transportation sector, adding that the “commitment to the development of inner cities and Zongos is laudable” for which “I cannot imagine what will become of the likes of Nima and Chorkor if we do nothing about them 40 years from now.”

Atta what are you trying to say. Is it not true that some Chief were given 8 by the NDC government what was the purpose of those cars given ?
Wonders shall never end. This is the same man who complained that the national house of chiefs were in bed with mahama administration and that mahama was bribing them with cars, even though all the Chiefs were doing was to support the government of the day. Today the same person is pleading the Chiefs should work with him. God is wide awake. No wonder Buhari, after lying his way to power is now asking for extension of days as he seeks medical assistance. The evil that men do lives after them. God will judge each frauster one after the other. Can you imagine that one month into his government, prices keeps going up, cedi is skyrocketing and we are still in the status quo. I thought with all the promises by this time at least electricity bills would have been reduced as promised. Instead innocent Ghanaians are being sacked for party faithfuls, because there is no new jobs to be created. Unemployment is reduced, someone should tell me.
the president of the national house of chiefs is a very sensible man,he speaks wisdom in national matters,God bless His tenure and wil always pray for him to succeed.stay blessed Togbe Afede XIV
