The Chief of Chiraa, Barima Mintah-Afari II, has demanded the replacement of street light poles in the town.
He made the demand when the 2nd Lady, H.E. Samira Bawumia, and the Bono Regional Minister, Justina Owusu-Banahene, paid a courtesy call on the chiefs and people of Chiraa.
Being grateful to the government for development in the district, Barima Mintah-Afari II added that Chiraa was the gateway to the region and deserves the needed development to give the area a befitting welcome.
He said the people of Chiraa were not pleased with the current street light poles, and gave an ultimatum that they must be replaced with metal ones latest by Easter this year.
“My people are not pleased with the current state of street light poles in the Chiraa township. We want them replaced by Easter 2023,” he charged.
Meanwhile, the Queenmother of Chiraa, Nana Yeboah Pene II, has hinted at constructing a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the Chiraa Government Hospital.
Addressing a gathering when H.E. Samia Samira Bawumia paid a courtesy call on the chiefs and people of Chiraa, Nana Yeboah Pene II disclosed that the project was to celebrate her 20th Anniversary as Queenmother of Chiraa since 2024.
She explained that the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the Bono Regional Hospital was inadequate and compromised the quality of healthcare delivery.
She said that situating the proposed NICU at Chiraa would be strategic, as it would serve the Bono and Ahafo regions.
Nana Yeboah Pene further called on interested individuals and cooperate Ghana to support her vision.
