JAMAN NORTH DISTRICT ASSEMBLY CONFIRMS GEORGE ADANE AS DCE

On April 8, 2025, the Bono Regional Minister, Hon. Joseph Addae Akwaboa, attended a special assembly meeting of the Jaman North District Assembly, marking a notable milestone in the district’s political landscape.

During the session, Hon. Kwans Abel was elected as the new Presiding Member, securing 73.17% of the total assembly votes which is a reflection of the strong confidence Assembly Members have in his leadership.

In addition, Hon. George Adane, the President’s nominee, was unanimously confirmed as the District Chief Executive, receiving 100% of the valid votes cast which is a rare and historic endorsement.

Hon. Akwaboa congratulated both newly confirmed leaders and emphasized the importance of upholding principles of good governance as they assume their respective roles. He also assured the Assembly that plans are underway to rehabilitate key roads in the district, with particular attention to the Jinjini to Sampa corridor.

Further, he highlighted the district’s strategic role in cashew production and announced that efforts are being made to explore the establishment of cashew processing factories in the area. These initiatives are expected to stimulate the local economy and create job opportunities.

The Regional Minister reaffirmed his commitment to supporting local leadership in driving development and improving the livelihoods of the people in Jaman North and the wider Bono Region.

Mr. George Adani, the DCE thanked the Assembly Members for his overwhelming endorsement and stressed his readiness to embrace everybody in the development process of the district.

Mr. Adane said effective collaboration was required from all stakeholders to improve access to education and healthcare services, pledging to do more to create job opportunities for the youth in the area.

Mr. Adane again advised the people to bury their differences and contribute to deepening security and public safety for a strengthened peace and social cohesion.

Justice Gabriel Martey-Teye, a High Court Judge in Sunyani, later took the DCE through the oaths of office, allegiance, and secrecy.
