The Chief of Donkro-Nkwanta, Nana Owusu Akyeaw Brempon II, has lauded the Bono East Regional Minister, Kwasi Adu-Gyan for his timely intervention which averted a possible scuffle between the people of the town and some alleged illegal miners.
Last Wednesday, March 31, 2021, the Minister received distress calls and read same on social media platforms about illegal mining operations at Donkronkwanta, a farming community near Nkoranza, which was generating some apprehension in the area.
Apparently, the residents of the area, especially the youth, had accused the chief and elders of giving out some lands in the area to some Chinese and Indians to undertake illegal mining, popularly called galamsey.
The National leadership of the National Service Personnel Association (NASPA) has on Wednesday, March 3, provided 100 landline telephones to all 10 traditional Regional Offices in the country. Every region is to get at least 10 of the devices.
The initiative was led by the NASPA President, Afriyie Osei Owusu, and his National Executive Committee.

According to NASPA, with the onset of the novel coronavirus pandemic, the need for remote communication has increased the demand for digitization across all sectors. The main reason for this measure was to bridge the communication gap between all NASPA levels; National, Regional and District.
“This is vital as it ensures that all the tributary-like channels of the NASPA body can feed into the same metaphorical river. Effective communication is the backbone of any successful symbiotic relationship such as this; and this is a sure-fire way to strengthen relations,” NASPA President Osei Owusu said.
