Some angry youth of Nkonya in the Oti Region have accused the former District Chief Executive of Jasikan, now Buem District, Solomon Donkor of being the cause of underdevelopment at Nkonya and surrounding areas.
The teeming youth indicated that the Former DCE made no efforts in helping the area to achieve the needed infrastructural development during his time and was only interested in enriching himself.
The action by the youth was in line with a recent interview granted by Kennedy Ohene Agyapong on TV3 about some false information given to him about the chiefs and people of Nkonya in the year 2012 by Mr. Solomon Donkor, then DCE for Jasikan..
Addressing a press conference in Accra yesterday, Leader of the youth, Mr. Peter Wonders, said “our attention has been drawn to a video about an interview between Mr. Roland Walker at TV3 and honorable Kennedy Agyapong in which he made statements that somewhere in the year 2012 the Former DCE, Solomon Donkor, who hails from Nkonya told him that the chiefs and people of Nkonya have beaten a “gongon” and encouraged minors to be registered for the purpose of voting in the 2012 general elections where he (Solomon Donkor) and team were assaulted after making an attempt to stop them from embarking on such illegal acts.
“This is what Kennedy Agyapong claimed pushed him to male some utterances that led to his arrest and subsequent charges of treason levelled against him that year “.
He disclosed that there was no time, place or moment where the Chiefs and people of Nkonya caused any “gongon” to be beaten to encourage minors to go out and vote in favour of any political party in the 2012 general elections.
“If this statement was indeed made by the Former DCE, then that can only be a figment of his imagination as it never happened. Solomon Donkor is a politician and he may be making such statements to gain a political interest of his political endeavors or otherwise” he stated.
Nkonyaman, Mr. Wonders said is not a land of war, saying that he has not brutalized anyone as presented in the interview granted by Mr. Kennedy Agyapong.
Mr. Wonders pleaded with President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and all Investors to assist with developmental projects for the beauty of Ghana’s democracy.
Meanwhile, all efforts made by this reporter to get the reaction of the Former DCE proved futile.
