The chiefs and people of Kpando in the Volta Region have expressed confidence in the leadership of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as he seeks to serve the country as President.

The Vice President and Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) commenced his tour of the Volta Region on Sunday. As part of his tour, he visited the Kpando Constituency, where he engaged with chiefs, religious leaders, and the community.

Welcoming Dr. Bawumia, the Paramount Chief of Kpando, Togbe Dagadu IX, on behalf of his chiefs and the people, expressed belief in Dr. Bawumia's leadership and praised the NPP government for delivering development projects in the country and the Kpando community.

"Let me, on behalf of the chiefs and people of the area, express gratitude to this NPP government for the various development projects we see. There are a number of them that have happened on the national front. Notable among them is the free SHS policy. However, because of the people I represent, I would like to narrow down to what we have seen around," said Togbe Dagadu IX.

"In fact, I cannot mention them all; I will just mention a few. Through the efforts of this government, we have seen a new municipal assembly complex. My MCE and the workers at the assembly have jubilated so much," he said.

"We also have a new audit service building, a business advisory center, and 12 bungalows being built for municipal assembly staff. Additionally, two more bungalows are being built for the judicial service, specifically for judges."

The Paramount Chief was also full of praise for the government for its decision to supply road development equipment to district assemblies, noting that Kpando has received its share.

"And just recently, my MCE came to me with joy, saying the DRIP machines are in. We have been talking so much about town roads. All is set for the program, and very soon we will see some relief regarding our town roads."

"For all these and many others, we are very grateful," said the Paramount Chief.

Togbe Dagadu IX requested many more developments for the area, expressing hope that under Dr. Bawumia's leadership, the chiefs and people of Kpando would have confidence in his governance.

"We, the chiefs and people of Kpando, have high hopes in your leadership," Togbe Dagadu IX said, adding that Dr. Bawumia should grant the community its fair share of development as President of Ghana, "should Ghanaians and the Almighty God smile at you and deliver the steering wheel of Ghana into your hands."

Specifically, he requested Dr. Bawumia's help to complete the rehabilitation of the Kpando Health Centre, which he said plays a key role in providing healthcare for communities around Kpando.

He also requested the rehabilitation of certain key roads within the area, the establishment of an inland port to promote the community's tourism potential, the upgrading of the Kpando Technical Institute to a tertiary institution, and the rehabilitation of Bishop Herman Senior High School.

The chiefs and people presented a beautiful smock to Dr. Bawumia and assured him of their readiness to support and work with him.

"The President was here, and we had a lot to talk about. You coming here, I will say, Kpando is your home. There are many people here in Kpando who support you, and your presence here has painted the town blue, white, and red. I believe there are good tidings. We are ready to work with you anytime, any day."

Vice President Bawumia expressed gratitude to the chiefs and the community for their warm reception and assured them of fulfilling their requests as President.

He took time to explain a number of his policies, which his government intends to implement.
