The newly confirmed Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of Kpando in the Volta Region, Killian Donkor, has pledged to fulfil his mandate in the municipality and called for the support of the Chiefs, Elders, Assembly Members, and other stakeholders of Kpando.

Following his confirmation, the MCE made this commitment during a courtesy visit to the Paramount Chief of Kpando, Togbe Dagadu IX.

He expressed his gratitude to the President, John Dramani Mahama, as well as to Togbe and the Elders of the land, while appealing for their continued support in helping him execute his duties effectively.

He also called for unity among the Chiefs, Assembly Members, and residents of the municipality to realise President Mahama’s Reset Agenda in Kpando—an initiative aimed at addressing and correcting issues requiring reform.

Mr. Donkor urged all stakeholders to work collaboratively and without division for the growth and development of Kpando, for the benefit of both current and future generations.

“Advise me, guide me, and offer your counsel as I assume this role,” he said, encouraging the Chiefs and Elders to hold him accountable should he fall short in the execution of his duties.

In response, Togbe Dagadu IX urged all Assembly Members and Elders of Kpando to support the MCE in fulfilling his mandate as the President’s representative to the people of the municipality, noting that the MCE’s success would reflect positively on the entire community.

The Paramount Chief also encouraged Mr. Donkor to clearly articulate and share his plans and vision for the municipality, to track progress, and ensure effective support where needed. He reiterated that his doors remain open for advice and collaboration in the collective interest of the people of Kpando.

Togbe advised the MCE not to rely solely on government funding for development projects. Instead, he encouraged him to explore Kpando’s abundant human and natural resources, as well as alternative funding sources and grants.

“When you find yourself in a challenging situation, ask yourself, ‘If the President were in this position, what would he do?’” said Togbe Dagadu, urging the MCE to model his leadership style on that of the President.
