THE Chiefs and people of the Denkyira Traditional Area in the Central Region have expressed their profound gratitude to the government for elevating the Upper Denkyira District to a municipal status.
In a statement to the President, Mr J.A. Kufuor, the chiefs and the three Members of Parliament from the traditional area - Nana Amoako (Upper Denkyira East), Mr Benjamin Kofi Ayeh (Upper Denkyira West) and Rev. Benjamin Bimpong Donkor (Heman Lower Denkyira) - said the gesture was a Christmas and New Year gift for the people.
“In fact, you have given the Denkyiraman a wonderful Christmas gift.”
The message also expressed the solidarity of the people of the area with President Kufuor over his miraculous escape from the recent car accident in Accra.
“Indeed, the whole Denkyiraman wish you long life and prosperity and ask God’s protection, grace and mercies to guide you to always remain steadfast and focused.”
The statement also thanked the President for honouring a recent invitation to Dunkwa-on-Offin on the occasion of the honouring of heroes and heroines of Denkyira as part of the Golden Jubilee anniversary celebration of the country.
