The paramount Chief of Kpeve Newtown Togbe Aku Dompey XI in the South Dayi District of the Volta Region has expressed concern over the continuous stay of some retired and former workers of the Ministry of Food and Agriculture at the residential quarters of the Kpeve Agiculture station, depriving current workers accommodation.
According to the chief the situation is posing challenges to the existing employees who walk several kilometres to their offices.
’The residential quarters of the workers is still being illegally occupied by some former workers who retired some two, four, five years ago while deserving workers of the research station, deprived of good accommodation. The district assembly should be empowered to eject those occupying the quarters illegally or the Ministry Of Food and Agriculture does something immediately.’’
The chief expressed gratitude to government for taking steps to revamp the Kpeve Agriculture Research station; which was once a key research station.
Togbui Aku Dompey XI disclosed to citifmonline.com at the celebration of the 13th Zendo Glimetsoza at Tsibu, in the North Dayi District of the Volta Region that the project will be fully completed soon to serve its purpose.
Zendo Glimetsoza, is a festival, celebrated by the people of Klefe, Klikor, Kpeve, Tsorxor and Tsibu to mark their migration from Notsie, Togo to their present settlements.
The celebration is rotated among the five towns with Tsibu being the host for this year.
The festival which started as far back as 1970 has been celebrated on the theme ‘’coming together for development.’’
A native of the area and the Minister for Environment, Science and Technology Akwasi Oppong Fosu assured the people that all promises made to the region especially the eastern corridor road project will be fulfilled and therefore urged the people to remain united and support government in its quest.
