The Overlord of Lawra Traditional Area, The Paramount Chief of the Lawra Traditional Area, Naa Puowele Karbo IV, has lauded Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for his hard work and the reverence he has brought to the high office he holds through his conduct.

Welcoming Dr. Bawumia to his Palace in Lawra in the Upper West Region during the week, the respected traditional ruler, who is also the Vice President of the National House of Chiefs, said he has been watching the Vice President from afar with admiration, and commended him for his works.

Your competence, effectiveness, hardwork and dedication to the duties and responsibilities of that office is widely acclaimed locally and internationally.
