The President of the Kusuag People’s Congress (KPC), Rev. Professor John Azumah, and the President of BONABOTO, Professor Samuel Atintono, have resolved to work together for the development of their respective communities in particular and the Upper East Region as a whole.
This came to light when the leadership of the two associations held a meeting in Accra on Thursday, January 19, 2023, to discuss ways the two associations with identical objectives could collaborate to effectively promote the development of their respective communities and the Upper East Region.
The Kusaug People’s Congress covers the six administrative districts: Bawku Municipal, Bawku West, Garu, Pusiga, Tempani, and Binduri districts. BoNaBoTo on the other side covers the Bolgatanga Municipal, Bolgatanga East, Nabdam, Bongo, and Talensi districts.
KPC, like BoNaBoTo is a non-political and non-profit organisation formed by the people of Kusaug to serve as a common platform to spearhead the development of the Kusaug traditional area. The BoNaBoTo President expressed his appreciation for the initiative and for the meeting.
He used the opportunity to congratulate Prof. Azumah and his team for their foresight in forming KPC as a focal point for the unity and development of their people. He further noted that without a united front and a common voice, development would be difficult to achieve.
The BoNaBoTo President assured Prof. Azumah of Bonaboto’s readiness to collaborate with KPC to explore opportunities to deal with the many problems confronting their respective communities and the region such as poverty, lack of critical health infrastructure, declining educational standards, general under-development, no airport, peace, and security.
He observed that as a new association, the new KPC leadership is bound to receive criticisms for taking some decisions and actions for the collective interest of their people but they should remain focused and pursue the common welfare of the people who have been waiting for this unique opportunity.
The KPC President, Rev. Prof. Azumah on his part, expressed his appreciation to Prof. Atintono for the meeting and assured him of working together to deal with the many problems confronting them in the interest of development. He called for a close working relationship between the two organisations.
