The Paramount Chief of Peki, Torgbuiga Deiga Kwadzo Dei XII, has commended the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for their significant contributions to the country.

Speaking in Peki on Tuesday during the campaign visit of Vice President and NPP Flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, in the South Dayi constituency, Torgbuiga Deiga Kwadzo Dei XII noted that despite the Akufo-Addo government's achievements, it has not effectively communicated its successes to the public. Many who are not keen observers remain unaware of the numerous projects undertaken.

"It is my observation that this government has done a lot for the country," Torgbuiga Deiga Kwadzo Dei XII said.

"As a leader of this community, I always tell my people that Ghana belongs to all of us. Whoever is leading Ghana is leading all of us. If the government introduces policies, let us examine them closely and see which ones benefit us, so we can embrace them," he added.

The Paramount Chief emphasized that many of the government's initiatives could have been beneficial to the people if they had been properly embraced.

"I believe there have been numerous government policies and interventions. Some may not be applicable to Peki, but those of us who observe realize that many of the socio-economic policies introduced by the government, if taken seriously by all of us, could have led to a better situation than what we are experiencing today," he stated.

Torgbuiga Deiga Kwadzo Dei XII expressed concern about the government's inability to effectively promote its achievements and criticized the media for often highlighting negative aspects rather than projecting positive developments.

"I also want to point out that the government and its supporters are not adequately praising their own efforts. If you go to rural areas, we often don’t even know what the government is doing. If you take an interest in what’s happening, you’ll see the progress being made."

"The focus tends to be on the unfortunate economic difficulties the country is facing. Good news isn’t considered news; bad news is. However, we need to highlight the positive things happening as well, so everyone can benefit from them."

Torgbuiga Deiga Kwadzo Dei XII expressed gratitude to the government for providing the area with an Agenda 111 hospital.

"We are particularly grateful to the government for granting us one of the Agenda 111 hospitals, which is located in Kpeve and, I believe, is nearing completion."
