Over a period, development in the Upper East Region has been noted as one major issue bedeviling the welfare of the region. Most times, developments that are meant for the region are rather taken to elsewhere due to disunity and the fight for location citing of projects.
However, the latest good news has it that, a step has been taken by two known organizations from the region to work together for the development of the Upper East.
The President of the Kusuag People’s Congress (KPC), Rev. Professor John Azumah and the President of BONABOTO Professor Samuel A. Atintono have resolved to work together for the development of the region.
In a meeting held in Accra on Thursday, January 19, 2023, the leadership of the two associations Rev. Professor John Azumah and Professor Samuel A. Atintono said, they have been waiting for such a unique opportunity to come together as a people with the same ideology to deal with the numerous problems confronting the region’s development.

BONABOTO and KUSUAG PEOPLE’S CONGRESS (KPC) to Collaborate for the Development of Upper East Region.
The President of the Kusuag People’s Congress (KPC), Rev. Professor John Azumah and the President of BONABOTO Professor Samuel A. Atintono have resolved to work together for the development of their respective communities in particular and the Upper East Region as a whole. This came to light when the leadership of the two associations held a meeting in Accra on Thursday, January 19, 2023, to discuss ways the two associations with identical objectives could collaborate to effectively promote the development of their respective communities and the Upper East Region.
The Kusaug People’s Congress, covers the six
administrative districts which include, Bawku Municipal, Bawku West, Garu, Pusiga, Tempani and Binduri. KPC, like BoNaBoTo is a non-political and non-profit organization formed by the people of Kusaug to serve
as a common platform to spearhead the development of the Kusaug traditional area.
The BoNaBoTo President expressed his appreciation for the initiative and for the meeting. He used the opportunity to congratulate Prof. Azumah and his team for their foresight in forming KPC as a focal point for the unity and development of their people. He further noted that without a united front and a common voice
development would be difficult to achieve.
The BoNaBoTo President assured Prof. Azumah of Bonaboto readiness to collaborate with KPC to explore opportunities to deal with the many problems confronting their respective communities and the region such as poverty, lack of critical health infrastructure, declining educational standards, general under-development, no airport, peace and security. He observed that as a new association the new KPC leadership is bound to receive criticisms for taking some decisions and actions for the collective interest of their people but they should remain focus and pursue the common welfare of the people who have been waiting for this unique opportunity. The KPC President, Rev. Prof. Azumah on his part, expressed his appreciation to Prof. Atintono for the meeting and assured him of working together to deal with the many problems confronting them in the interest of development. He called for a close working relationship between the two organizations.
