Story: A. Kofoya-Tetteh, Kwabeng
THE chiefs and people of Kwabeng, capital of the Atiwa District in the Eastern Region, as well as the assembly, have met to discuss the factors militating against the delay in the provision of good drinking water for the town and its surrounding villages.
The meeting became imperative because X-tra Gold, a gold mining company in the area, whose operations were said to have polluted the river that is the only source of drinking water for the people, which had agreed to assist in the drilling of a mechanised borehole, seems not to have done anything about the project, ever since the company gave that assurance about three months ago.
At the meeting, which was attended by the Chief of Kwabeng, Osabarima Dakwa Woe, an opinion leader of the town, Alhaji Mustapha Boateng, other elders of the town and officials of the Atiwa District Assembly, the District Chief Executive (DCE), Mr Kwasi Osei Agyepong, said the assembly was concerned about the issue.
He said it was, therefore, doing its best to ensure that at least a mechanised borehole was provided for the people at the shortest possible time.
According to Mr Agyepong, that could not, however, be accomplished due to the technicalities involved.
He, therefore, appealed to the people to be patient to enable him to personally tackle the issue with the Ghana Water and Sanitation Agency (GWSA), which was also working tirelessly on the issue.
“Water from the river is not the best, but there are a lot of technicalities involved that will take some time so I have to personally contact the GWSC as soon as possible to speed up the process and I hope good-drinking water will soon be available for the people,” Mr Agyepong stated.
Alhaji Mustapha Boateng, for his part, wondered why X’tra Gold could not provide the borehole as agreed upon about three months ago.
He called on the assembly to ensure that the company had honoured its own commitment.
With regard to the town’s street lights, Alhaji Mustapha, who donated some of the bulbs for the project, appealed to the assembly to see to the proper functioning of the system.
Osabarima Darkwa Woe said as the chief of the town, he would not sit aloof for his people to depend on contaminated water.
He, therefore, implored the DCE to do everything within his means to address the problem without delay.

NFED REWARDS FACILITATORS IN 3 DISTRICTS (PAGE 20)
Story: A. Kofoya-Tetteh, Koforidua
A NUMBER of facilitators engaged by the Non-Formal Education Division (NFED) of the Ministry of education in the Suhum, West Akyem and the East Akyem districts who have for over a year taught illiterates to read and write, particularly the English language, without being offered any payment, were at the weekend given incentive packages.
The volunteers, who also educated the adult learners aged between 12 and 60 on government policies and equipped them with vocational skills to enable them to generate income for their livelihood, were presented with sewing machines, roofing sheets and ghetto blasters.
At Suhum where a total of 901 learners passed out after undergoing the exercise, the District Chief Executive (DCE), Mr Michael Kofi Mensah, praised the 32 facilitators for their volunteerism.
He said their efforts had helped not only to make it possible for the illiterate learners to read and write, but also enabled them to be abreast of government policies.
The Eastern Regional Director of the NFED, Mr Lawrence Saka, said the government was committed to the education of adult illiterates, who for some reasons could not benefit from formal education.
He appealed to the illiterates in the region to take advantage of the opportunity to upgrade themselves.
The Suhum District Director of the NFED, Baafuor Akrofi, said his outfit would be organising competitions on reading to add the interest to the programme.
At Asamankese where the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for West Akyem, Mr Kwabena Sintim Aboagye, distributed the items to the beneficiaries, he said the assembly would always support any initiative to educate illiterates in the area.
He advised the facilitators to make good use of the items.
The East Akyem MCE, Mr Emmanuel Victor Asihene, who also handed over the items to the beneficiaries in the district at Asiakwa, appealed to the facilitators to educate the adult learners on government policies.

MANYA BANK, DANIDA ASSIST MARKET WOMEN (PAGE 20)
Story: A. Kofoya-Tetteh, Koforidua
THE Manya Krobo Rural Bank in collaboration with the Danish Development Agency (DANIDA) has provided a small-scale credit ranging between GH¢100 and GH¢1,000 to market women and operators of small-scale industries in the catchment areas of the bank.
The loans were to enable the beneficiaries to improve on their trading and business enterprises, to generate income for their sustenance and to reduce poverty.
To ensure that the beneficiaries make good use of the facility, the bank has undertaken an outreach programme on the issue at the Agormanya Market and at Kpong where a considerable number of the women were schooled on the facility.
The programme coincided with the visit to the area by the Chairman of DANIDA, Mr Klaus Bustrup, who took the opportunity to assure the beneficiaries of DANIDA’s continued support.
Addressing the women at Kpong just before he visited a commercial mango farm, near Juapong, one of the catchment areas of the bank where a number of people had benefited from the micro-credit scheme, Mr Bustrup expressed his satisfaction at the manner the Manya Krobo Rural Bank was handling the scheme.
He expressed the hope that it would go a long way to improve the lot of the people.
The leader of the group of beneficiaries at Kpong, Madam Manye Maku, said over the past two years, the Manya Krobo Rural Bank had supported the 500-member group with GH¢70,000.
She indicated that the financial assistance had enabled them to improve their businesses to support their families, especially the education of their children.
Madam Maku said the association would be roping in 3,000 women and appealed to DANIDA to give them more loans to enable them to come out of poverty.
Throwing more light on the micro-small scale (MSE’s) credit scheme, the Managing Director of the Manya Krobo Rural Bank, Mr Emmanuel Antwi, said the bank in collaboration with the Support Programme for Enterprise and Empowerment (SPEED), an initiative funded jointly by DANIDA, the government and German Technical Co-operation (GTZ), had provided funds for the scheme through the bank.
He said about GH¢1 million would be disbursed to the MSEs and that the bank had also proposed to partner DANIDA and other companies in Denmark to go into mango processing and related businesses in the bank’s catchment areas.

OFOSU ASAMOAH COMMENDS SIF MANAGERS (PAGE 20)
Story: A. Kofoya-Tetteh, Koforidua
THE Deputy Eastern Regional Minister, Mr Ofosu Asamoah, has commended managers of the Social Investment Fund (SIF) for their efforts at mobilising funds to develop communities in the various districts in the region.
Available records indicate that the SIF has spent GH¢2,106,740.06 on the construction of 45 primary schools, 15 junior high schools, 16 clinics in the rural areas, nine nurses’ quarters, one library and four water and sanitation facilities in the region.
Mr Asamoah made the commendation at the national launch of the 10th anniversary of the SIF at Mfranta in the Suhum/Kraboa Coaltar District.
The event, which was attended by top government and SIF officials, was to drum home the benefits of the SIF to the people.
According to Mr Ofosu Asamoah, the concept of the SIF had resulted in the mobilisation of GH¢361,000 from 14 district assemblies in the region, as well as GH¢212,000 from the local beneficiaries as their social and direct investment in the development of their communities in terms of social amenities and other initiatives that would improve the lot of the people.
He added that the Regional Co-ordinating Council (RCC) would continue to co-operate with the region’s development partners to accelerate its progress.
The deputy regional minister said that would increase access of the poor to basic and social necessities so as to reduce and ultimately eliminate poverty in the region and Ghana as a whole.
Mr Ofosu Asamoah, therefore, advised communities that had benefited from social amenities funded by the SIF to ensure that the facilities were properly maintained for the benefit of succeeding generations.
A Deputy Minister of Finance and Economic Planning, Professor Gyan Baffour whose speech was read by a director of the ministry, Mr Kobina Amoah, said Ghana had since 1957, been making efforts to reduce poverty.
He said the Ghana Living Standard Survey had indicated that the country had cut poverty levels from 51.7 per cent in 1991 to 39.5 per cent in 1999 and 28.5 per cent in 2005.
Prof. Gyan Baffour said although the poverty level had been falling, it was still undesirable and that had necessitated the NPP Administration to opt for the HIPC initiative.
He added that it had gone a long way to reduce poverty and improved the living standard of the people.
Throwing more light on the SIF, the deputy minister, said the fund, which was in existence two years before the NPP took over the administration of the country, was not performing well due to management problems that had stalled its projects.
He said for that reason, the fund had to be revitalised to respond to the needs of more than 1,000 communities and 1.1 million people that accounted for 16 per cent of the poor.
Prof. Gyan Buffour stated that up to date, the SIF had provided 1,046 sub projects mainly classroom blocks, teachers’ quarters, rural clinics, and potable water to directly benefit poor people living in about 108 districts in the country.
Such an initiative, he said, had gone a long way to improve the lot of the people thereby reducing poverty in the communities.
Earlier on, the Executive Director of the SIF, Ms Ama Serwaa, had traced the history of the SIF and said it was founded in 1998 with an initial fund of US$18.5 million out of which 81 per cent was from the African Development Fund while the rest was made available by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) She stated that the fund had three objectives.
They are facilitating access by the poor to basic economic and social infrastructure and service through direct investment to improve their sustainability; enhancing access of the poor to financial service and strengthening community-based organisation, non-governmental organisations, indigenous micro-finance institutions and local government administrations in support of the overall goal of poverty alleviation.

THREE ON TRIAL FOR DEATH OF DRIVER (BACK PAGE)
Story: A. Kofoya-Tetteh, Koforidua
TWO soldiers and a policeman who were alleged to have beaten a bus driver, one George Atua, alias Maclean, to death at Suhum in August last year, yesterday appeared before a Koforidua High Court.
The three — Lance Corporal Kwasi Dagadu, the policeman, Corporal Ibrahim Bukari and Staff Sergeant Robert Adama, the soldiers — who have been charged with conspiracy and murder, pleaded not guilty and have been remanded in custody to re-appear before the court today.
Another policeman, General Constable David Darko, said to have taken part in assaulting Atua, is currently on the run.
The three were earlier arraigned before a Koforidua Magistrate’s Court, which committed them for trial at the High Court.
Presenting the facts of the case before the court, presided over by Mr Justice Francis Mieza Anyimiah, a Chief State Attorney, Mr Anthony Gyambiby, said on August 3, 2007 at about 7 p.m. the three, together with four others, were on a joint military/police patrol driving in a police vehicle from Kyebi.
He said on reaching Suhum, the police patrol vehicle was carelessly overtaken by a Hyundai bus with registration number GR 3690 M, being driven by the late Atua.
He said when the patrol team signalled Atua to stop, he declined and drove away after which the patrol team chased him and managed to arrest him at Ayekotse, a suburb of Suhum, where they severely beat him up, hitting him several times with their guns.
According to Mr Gyambiby, the accused first sent Atua, who was very weak, to the Suhum Police Station and then to the Suhum Government Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
He said a doctor’s report indicated that Atua died from the severe beatings.
Mr Gyambiby told the court that the prosecution would in the course of the trial prove that Atua actually died from unlawful harm at the hands of the accused persons who acted intentionally.
Giving evidence to what happened on that fateful day, August 3, 2007, Mr Kwame Okanta, a driver’s mate, said he was in the bus being driven by Atua and that after Atua had driven past the police patrol vehicle at Suhum, the patrol vehicle pursued them to Ayekotse, where the deceased abandoned the bus and fled.
Mr Okanta, who said one of the policeman gave him devastating slaps, indicated that Atua was later arrested by the patrol team including the accused persons who took Atua back to the Hyundai bus very weak with his legs dangling in the air.
He said Atua, who could not sit down in the bus and was lying down in the vehicle, was then sent to the Suhum Police Station where the accused persons told the policeman on duty that he (Atua ) was having stomach ache but he (Okanta) refuted that allegation and explained that Atua had driven the bus continuously throughout the day.

ER MINISTER SUFFERS DEFEAT AT PRIMARIES (PAGE 15)
Story: A. Kofoya-Tetteh, Mpraeso
THE desire of the Eastern Regional Minister, Mr Kwadwo Affram Asiedu, to enter Parliament in January, next year, could not materialise when he suffered defeat at the primaries held at Mpraeso on Saturday.
The soft-spoken Affram Asiedu who willingly stepped down four years ago in favour of the incumbent, Dr Francis Osafo-Mensah, who did not compete last Saturday, had 16 votes as against 37 secured by a virtually unknown 37-year-old construction engineer, Seth Acheampong.
Three other contestants, Madam Suzie Mensah had 31 votes, Mr Owoana Asante, District Chief Executive for Kwahu South, 10 votes, and Madam Grace Atefa, the immediate past Eastern Regional Organiser of the New Patriotic Party, two votes.
The four, in conceding defeat, pledged to support Mr Acheampong to retain the constituency seat and also obtain majority votes in the presidential elections.
Mr Acheampong gave the assurance that he would drink from the fountain of wisdom from the experienced elders of the party and mobilise resources to enable the party to convincingly win both the constituency seat and that of the presidency.
In another development, the Minister of Lands, Mines and Forestry, Madam Esther Obeng Dapaah, secured 41 votes to be retained to contest the Abirem Constituency seat on the ticket of the NPP.
Madam Dapaah, beat two other contestants, Messrs Osei Frimpong who had 24 votes, and Samuel Henry Dwamena Yeboah who secured four votes when the ballot was cast at New Abirem on Saturday.
Prior to the elections, some supporters of the party besieged the Birim North Assembly Hall, the venue of the event, shouting slogans against Madam Dapaah and attempted to prevent her from entering the place but the police aborted that act.
She was therefore taken away in a different direction after the voting.
Before the ballots were cast at the two places, the Eastern Regional Chairman of the NPP, Mr Yaw Gyekye Amoabeng, asked the rank and file of the party, especially the unsuccessful candidates, to put aside their differences and redouble their efforts for a landslide victory in the December elections.

PUBERTY RITES TURN BLOODY AT SOMANYA (PAGE 3)
Story: A. Kofoya Tetteh
THE Dipo puberty rites of the Krobos which are normally associated with merry-making turned sour last Sunday when two persons were accidentally shot dead at a shrine at Somanya, the traditional headquarters of the Yilo Krobo paramountcy in the Eastern Region.
The deceased, Dede Terkpernor Teiko, 16, and Tetteh Nyade, 42, who were among a large crowd gathered at the shrine for the rites, died on the spot when a bullet from one of the guns being fired as part of the rites hit them.
The unknown gunman bolted soon after the fatality and the police are searching for him.
The traditional priestess of the shrine, Dede Ayepon, has, however, been arrested and is assisting the police in their investigations.
In an interview, the Eastern Regional Public Affairs Director of the Police Service, Chief Inspector Christopher Tawia, said about 5.00 p.m. on that fateful day, many people assembled at the shrine to observe the puberty rites being performed for some young girls.
He said as part of the rites, a musket had to be fired to signal the initiation of the girls into womanhood.
Chief Inspector Tawia stated that when the gun was fired, the bullet hit the two and they died instantly.
He said in the midst of the confusion, all those assembled at the shrine, including the unidentified gunman, fled the scene.
The police, he said, had intensified their efforts to apprehend the gunman.
