“I shall ensure that the peace and unity of the area continued to forge a lasting solution to the tribal conflict,” he pledged
On his part, the MP for Nkwanta South, Geoffrey Kini, called on the MCE and the government to consider fixing the deplorable roads in the constituency to end the suffering of commuters and traders.
