Our News team went around to have an interaction with the inhabitants of the community and this is what some of them said; I think it is a nice approach for the Chief and His Elder to think about the welfare of the sons and daughters in the community, Mark said.
Since there is no venue to host our events and even a place to support our children to learn, I will commend the board for such a move, Johnny K Amani told our news team.
Some are of the view that, there should be a mega concert to bring artistes like Kofi Kinaata, Shatta Wale, Black Sherrif and the likes. They think that, when such concert is held, it will market the community to the rest of the world.
