Hohoe (Volta Region) 10th June '99

Vice-President John Evans Atta Mills on Wednesday said the government is determined to implement its programmes and ensure that the Volta Region has its fair share of the national cake.

He was speaking during a courtesy call on Togbega Gabusu VI, Paramount chief of Gbi traditional area, as part of a four-day tour of seven districts in the northern sector of the region.

Professor Mills cautioned against being deceived by vain promises and expressed his gratitude to them for their continued support for the NDC.

Togbega Gabusu assured the Vice-President that the downpour, which disrupted Tuesday's durbar in his honour was a sign that God has endorsed his visit.

He appealed to the government to build a wall around the Hohoe government hospital and to provide the necessary equipment and doctors' bungalows to bring it to the status of a district hospital.

Togbega Gabusu explained that the fencing would reduce encroachment on the hospital's land.

He called on the government to ensure a proper demarcation of Hohoe and Kpando districts, especially Kpeve, to avoid any conflict.

Among those present at the meeting were Professor Kofi Awonoo, a Presidential Aide, Dr Obed Asamoa, Minister of Justice and Attorney-General, Alhaji Seidu Idi, Regional Minister, MPs from the area and some Ministers of state.
