He said this at the 2017 "Zendo Glimetso Za" that was hosted on Saturday 25th November at the Klikor Glidzianu-Satsimadza complex.

This year's Zendo Glimetso Za was hosted by Klikor on the theme "Harnessing Our Resources For Development" intended to give the only Senior High Technical School in the Klikor traditional area of the Ketu South Municipality, Klikor Senior High Technical School (KLISTECH), a face-lift.

According to him, his community is situated at an advantageous place for water and other basic human conveniences but it's only neighboring towns that benefit whiles people from neighboring communities are in a great need. He said: "Despite all these, Klikor has been neglected with impunity. The one water supply source for KLISTECH is woefully under utilized and it is our view that this resource can be extended to the surrounding communities, emphasizing that it will greatly alleviate the water problems of Klikor. Water you know is life and we hope the Minister of Water and Sanitation will give this humble request a much-deserved attention."..... he said

According to Torgbui, "The school sits on 76.3 acres of land and it's facing serious encroachment which needs urgent attention. It is our intention to construct a fence wall around the school to stop the encroachment menace because the school have quality and competent academic staff but the necessary inputs the staffs need to inculcate its full academic potential in the students are insufficient, revealing that the Science and the Technical departments are without equipment."... he lamented.

Torgbui Addo concluded by stating some major challenges facing other Zendo communities and pleaded with the government to come to their aid for the problems to be dealt with.

The Awormefia of Anlo State, Torgbui Sri (III), on his part thanked the Zendo communities for celebrating this year's festive, adding that the Zendo module is worthy of emulating by all true 'Ewes'. "If there is any group of people today, who needs to be reunited, then it is the Ewes. We don't need another conference to bring us together but we ourselves, the oneness and common heritage of the Ewes from Hogbe is never in doubt, from our common languages, the composition of sounds, drumming and dancing, marriage, outdooring of new born babies, burials and funeral rites all make our culture unique. ".... he explained.

The member of Parliament for Ketu South Hon. Fiffi Fiavi Kwettey assures the people of portable water in the shortest time saying funds for the water project is in the Ketu South District Assembly and very soon, the contractors shall move to the sites to start the work. "The NDC government started so many projects in the area and I hope the NPP government shall continue and complete it for the people to use before 2020.".... the MP stressed.

The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of Ketu North, Hon Anthony Avorgbedor, speaking for the regional minister Dr. Archibald Yao Letsa, said the NPP government will fulfill every promise made, and will make sure KLISTECH also benefits because free education is the priority of the NPP government that is why the President Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo-Addo started the free SHS.

The communities which celebrated the Zendo annually are Kpeve, Klefe, Klikor, Tsibu, and Tsorxor in commemoration of their exodus from Nortsie to their present settlements, and it is celebrated on rotational basis.
