Adu Gyan Bono East Regional Minister, my brother and friend, Hon. Joseph Kumah MP Kintampo-North, Hon. Baffoe , ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests, and the wonderful community of Kintampo North Constituency,

I stand before you today as a special guest of honour with a deep sense of responsibility and a profound commitment to address a matter of great importance. Our heritage, our traditions and the very fabric of our society have been woven over centuries. In November 2023, we witnessed a clash between the Mo Traditional Council and the Wangara Community, a clash that posed a serious risk to the longstanding tranquility of Kintampo-North Constituency.
It is at times like these that we must come together, not as separate entities, but as one united community. The very essence of our heritage lies in the unity that binds us, transcending individual differences and fostering a shared sense of belonging. Today, I would like to emphasize the pivotal role that peace and unity play in the sociocultural development of our constituency.

First and foremost, we must recognize that our youth are the torchbearers of our heritage. They carry the responsibility of preserving and advancing our traditions into the future. Therefore, it becomes imperative that we invest in their development, providing opportunities for education, skill-building, and employment. By doing so, we not only secure their future but also ensure the stability and prosperity of our constituency.
Youth employment is not just a means to an end; it is a catalyst for positive change. As we empower our young people with the tools they need to succeed, we simultaneously pave the way for a harmonious and stable community. When our youth are gainfully employed and engaged in productive activities, the likelihood of unrest and instability diminishes significantly.

Capacity building is another key aspect of this journey toward a more stable and prosperous constituency. By enhancing the skills and capabilities of our community members, we create a foundation for sustainable development. This includes not only traditional skills but also modern skills that align with the demands of the contemporary world. In doing so, we equip ourselves to face challenges and adapt to change while preserving the essence of our heritage.

Tourism, too, plays a crucial role in this equation. Our rich cultural heritage and natural beauty are assets that can contribute significantly to the economic growth of our constituency. By promoting tourism, we do not only attract visitors but also create opportunities for local businesses and employment. This, in turn, fosters a sense of pride and ownership among our community members.

In conclusion, the clash in November 2023 served as a stark reminder of the fragility of peace and the importance of unity in preserving our heritage. Let us take this moment to reflect on the values that bind us together and commit ourselves to building a future that is characterized by harmony, stability, and prosperity. Together, we can ensure that Kintampo North Constituency continues to be a beacon of tradition, a hub of development and a haven of peace.
