In a bold move to protect government revenue, the Chief of Ejura Divisional Council, Barimah Osei Hwedie II, has taken decisive action against individuals allegedly stealing government funds at the Ejura Market Square. The chief, backed by his elders, has been monitoring the situation and detected misappropriation of funds without accounting to the Municipal Assembly.

To address this issue, the chief has engaged in meetings with officials and stakeholders, leading to the formation of a committee between the Ejura Traditional Council and the Municipal Assembly. This committee will oversee financial transactions, ensuring proper revenue collection and accounting to the government.

Furthermore, the chief plans to petition the Ministry of Local Government for the official handing over of the market square to a committee formed by the traditional council. This move aims to ensure the government receives its rightful revenue without misappropriation or leakage.

The community has praised the chief’s proactive stance, recognizing the importance of protecting government revenue. The Ejura Market Square has significant potential to contribute to the local economy, and efficient revenue management is crucial. By taking bold steps, the Ejura Chief has demonstrated his commitment to good governance and transparency, benefiting both the government and the local community.
