He added that it is very painful if your political choice refuses to pick your call after several weeks of persistent calls.

Nana Somuah, who is also the Asakrakahene, made this assertion when he paid a courtesy call on the chiefs and people of Suhum as part of his familiarization tour to the Eastern Region.

In a short statement to welcome him to the Suhum Municipality, the Municipal Chief Executive, Hon. Mrs. Margaret Darko Darkwah thanked Nana for taking it upon himself to tour the eastern region in an effort to collate the problems and concerns of the people.

She noted that her office is always opened to all, both party and non-party members and is ready to do everything possible to improve development in the Suhum municipality.

Briefing Nana Somuah Mireku III on the composition of the Assembly, the MCE noted that the Assembly is made up of 40 men and women, 29 elected Assembly members and 13 Appointees. She urged the Assembly members, Heads of departments, party members, chiefs and all present at the meeting to come up with issues that bother them.

In a speech to address the chiefs and people in the Suhum Municipality, Nana Somuah Mireku III thanked the people for endorsing him as a member of the Council of State for the Eastern Region. He said that as someone who has been given the power to counsel the President and other government officials, it is prudent that he comes down to the level of the people he’s representing, take their views, problems and address them accordingly.

Nana also pleaded with the Assembly members and all present at the function to have patience with the government of the New Patriotic Party, as more policies are being developed to facilitate development in Ghana. He urged all Assembly members and departmental heads to do their best in supporting the MCE in her quest to develop the municipality.

After the interaction with the people, Nana promised that all comments and problems will be sent to the presidency for prompt attention.

The meeting was attended by the Honorable Municipal Chief Executive for Suhum, Mrs. Margaret Darko Darkwa, Heads of department, the Chief of Ayekotse, Barima Nartey Anoma, Honorable Assembly members, party executives as well as members of the public.
