The Chief of Bohyen in the Ashanti Region, Nana Antwi Boasiako II, has appealed to the government to establish a fire station in the area. This comes after he celebrated his 25th anniversary on the throne, surrounded by community leaders and residents.
Bohyen Chief Calls for Fire Station to Prevent Fire Outbreaks
The Chief of Bohyen made the appeal during the celebrations, citing the absence of fire stations in communities including Bantama, Bohyen, Abrepo, Barekese, Mankranso, Adugyama, and Offinso as a major hindrance to firefighters responding quickly to fire outbreaks. This has resulted in the loss of property and lives in these communities.
The Chief wants a fire station in Bohyen to improve emergency response and prevent the devastating effects of fire outbreaks. He believes this is crucial in preventing the loss of lives and property in the area.
Development Plans for Bohyen
Nana Boasiako II has been working tirelessly to develop Bohyen, and his efforts have borne fruit. He has praised the Member of Parliament for Bantama and former Roads and Highways Minister, Francis Asenso-Boakye, for his contribution to development in Bohyen. The Chief has mentioned several projects that have helped transform the community, including a police station, inner roads, a classroom block, an Astroturf football park, and a community library.
The Chief's commitment to development has not gone unnoticed, with the chairperson for the occasion, businessman Dr Nana Kwaku Duah, commending him for his dedication to the development of Bohyen in the last 25 years. Dr Duah pledged his support for the Chief's development plans for the people of Kumasi-Bohyen.
Community Engagement and Development
The Chief's development plans for Bohyen are not limited to infrastructure projects. He has also called for the National Ambulance Service to extend its services to the area to improve emergency response. This is part of his broader vision to improve the lives of residents in Bohyen and make the community a better place to live.
The week-long anniversary celebration included a clean-up exercise, a health walk, a health screening, a blood donation, an interdenominational church service, an old-school street jam, and a cultural display. The celebrations brought together traditional leaders, government officials, members of the clergy, business leaders, Assembly Members, members of the Muslim community, and residents.
What's Next for Bohyen
The Chief's appeal for a fire station in Bohyen is a pressing concern that needs to be addressed by the government. The absence of fire stations in communities has resulted in the loss of property and lives. The Chief's commitment to development and his appeal for a fire station are a testament to his dedication to improving the lives of residents in Bohyen. The government needs to take concrete steps to address the Chief's concerns and ensure that Bohyen has the necessary infrastructure to prevent fire outbreaks and improve emergency response.
