In a press release dated November 3, 2024, the Zug-Raan Palace has issued a directive to keep all district assemblies in the Kusaug Traditional Area open and functioning. Apexnewsgh reports
This comes after reports that some individuals had caused the closure of offices in Bawku Municipal, Binduri, and Bawku West District Assemblies.
David Adoliba, Secretary of the Kusaug Traditional Area, signed the statement, emphasizing that His Royal Majesty, Naba Asigri Abugrago Azoka II, Overlord of the Kusaug Traditional Area, has ordered the assemblies to remain open.
The directive ensures that government business continues uninterrupted and that workers in government departments and agencies can perform their duties without interference.
This move aligns with Ghana’s Local Government Act of 1993, which regulates the establishment, functions, and administration of district assemblies.
The Act aims to ensure governance is placed at the doorstep of the people, making local government more effective.
The Zug-Raan’s directive underscores the importance of collaboration between traditional authorities and local government. Traditional leaders, like the Zug-Raan, play a significant role in Ghana’s decentralized system, often serving as chairpersons on sub-committees of District Assemblies.
By keeping the assemblies open, the Kusaug Traditional Area can continue to work towards local economic development and effective governance, reflecting the principles of Ghana’s local government system.
