Jamasi (Ash), Feb. 3, GNA - The Krontihene of Jamasi in the Afigya-Sekyere district of Ashanti, Nana Owusu Kwarteng II, has called on his people to rally behind the Jamasihene to ensure the speedy development of the area.

Speaking to the GNA at Jamasi on Monday, the Krontihene said Nana Gyimah Kesse, chief of Jamasi, had been properly enstooled and as such, he needed the co-operation of all the citizens of the area for the development of the town.

"There is the need for us as citizens of Jamasi to bury all chieftaincy differences and forge ahead in unity for the progress of Jamasi," he said.

Nana Kwarteng told the GNA that Nana Kesse had financed the construction of a borehole fitted with an electric pump at the cost of 10 million cedis.

Nana Kesse has also funded the construction of the local market and a five-kilometre Jamasi-Bepoa feeder road.

Nana Kwarteng said the Queen Mother had donated 10 sewing machines to help set up a vocational school for the training of school drop-outs, especially girls to either established their own businesses or to be gainfully employed.
