Nkwanta South residents get new DCE

 

A retired teacher of the Nkwanta Senior High School has been approved as the new District Chief Executive for the Nkwanta South district in the Volta region.

Alfred Kofi Wokanya's nomination and subsequent confirmation follows the killing of former DCE Peter Kojo Kenyenso.

His confirmation was delayed for several months due to some unresolved security issues in the area.

After an assembly election Tuesday, he polled 34 votes to secure the mandate of the 42 member assembly.

Speaking to the media after his approval, the new DCE pledged to foster peaceful coexistence among the various tribes in the area and also work hand-in-hand with all stakeholders to ensure sustainable development in the district.
