The new District Chief Executive (DCE) for Krachi Nchumuru in the Oti Region, Mr. Martin Kofi Anato, has pledged to create a peaceful atmosphere in the district as a foundation for development.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA), Mr. Anato emphasised the importance of peace and collective effort in achieving meaningful development.
“Development is about ensuring that people receive what they need and value. It doesn’t happen in isolation — it involves the people, helping them to understand that they have a stake in the process,” he stated.
According to Mr. Anato, sacrifice played a crucial role in the developmental journey.
“Development is not just about physical structures. It requires sacrifice. Are the people ready to make sacrifices? We need to educate them on when to contribute and how to take responsibility. Without peace, we cannot develop.
“A peaceful environment allows people to work freely without fear or hindrance. These are the priorities I intend to pursue for the development of the Krachi Nchumuru District,” he said.
The DCE also identified some key challenges facing the district, including poor road networks, water and sanitation issues, and inadequate school infrastructure.
He assured that addressing these issues would be at the forefront of his agenda.
He highlighted the importance of collaboration in overcoming these challenges.
“One person alone cannot do it all. We need collaborative thinking and teamwork.
Leaders must listen, remain humble, and work with integrity. When people see that you are genuinely committed to their well-being, they will join hands with you to achieve common goals,” he noted.
Mr. Anato concluded by calling on all residents in and around Krachi Nchumuru to support the Assembly with ideas and initiatives to help propel the district forward.
