The Paramount Chief of the Prampram Traditional Area, Nene Tetteh Wakah III, has appealed to government to find a lasting solution to the persistent water shortages that have plagued the community for years.

Speaking at a colourful durbar to climax the weeklong Homowo festivities, he noted that despite previous interventions, including the supply of water tankers to some neighbourhoods, the situation has continued to deteriorate.

He highlighted that much of the town went without water throughout the celebrations.

“These are not luxuries; they are basic necessities of life,” he stressed, calling for urgent and permanent action.

The Paramount Chief also reaffirmed Prampram’s commitment to development and urged the two traditional areas, together with Shai Osudoku, to unite and work collectively for the progress of their people.

“Let’s work together for unity and progress,” he added.

The four sub-divisional leaders pledged renewed loyalty to the stool and encouraged residents to pursue unity, wisdom, and resilience in the face of challenges.

“Let us not lose faith in our future,” Nene Wakah III said.

The durbar brought together traditional and religious leaders, business leaders, and residents.

It was also attended by the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Linda Ocloo, the Member of Parliament for the area, Sam George, and other government officials.
