THE Sekondi/Takoradi Metropolitan Chief Executive, Mr Kobina Prah-Annan, has stressed the need for chiefs to undertake income-generating ventures to enable them to raise some funds to carry out development projects.
He said they could also register companies to enable them to carry out projects for organised bodies instead of individual programmes.
That, the Metro Chief said, would enable them to generate some funds for the common good of the people.
He said this when he called on two paramount chiefs in the Twin-City of Sekondi/Takoradi to introduce himself.
He observed that their palaces were in bad condition and needed some rehabilitation.
He donated some money and bottles of schnapps to the traditional council and called for their support to enable him to transform the city.
Pleading anonymity, some members of the assembly said it was wrong for the chief executive to promise chiefs contracts while others said though knowledgeable, he should make more consultations in the course of his work.
“If his free pronouncements are meant to score political points, then he should consider the interest of the larger public, since he would be held responsible for his actions and inaction,” they warned.
