Asuogyaman MP appeals for calm amid Gyakiti, Kamenaman/Pesse tensions

Hon. Thomas Ampem Nyarko, the Member of Parliament for Asuogyaman, has called for peace and restraint following recent tensions between the communities of Gyakiti and Kamenaman/Pesse. In a statement, the MP urged traditional leaders, elders, the youth, and residents on both sides to refrain from actions that could exacerbate the situation and damage the long-standing relationship between the communities.

"We must not allow disagreements to divide communities that have lived together as neighbors for generations," he emphasized. Mr. Nyarko cautioned against assigning blame, asserting that the issues at hand, encompassing the communities' shared history, customs, and traditional ties, should be addressed through respectful dialogue rooted in truth and tradition.

Once the Paramount Chief of Akwamu, Odeneho Kwafo Akoto III, returns, he plans to collaborate with other stakeholders to help resolve the matter amicably. Despite any differences, the MP reiterated, "We remain one Asuogyaman family. Let us choose understanding over confrontation and preserve the peace we all cherish."
