The chiefs and elders of Kwahu Traditional Area have appealed to management of the telecommunication giant, Mobile Telecommunication Network (MTN), to ensure network coverage is extended to all other surrounding villages within the traditional area which have persistently been struggling for network service.
While commending MTN for strengthening their network and widening coverage to most parts of the area in helping to bridge the communication gap, the chiefs said some villages within the traditional area still struggled to have access to network services.
They made the appeal when MTN presented a dummy cheque for GH¢25,000.00 and airtime worth GH¢2,500.00 to some selected traditional councils in support of the Kwahu Easter Celebration.
The cheques were presented separately with the Kwahu Traditional Council receiving GH¢10,000.00 and GH¢1,000.00 worth of airtime out of the total amount. Obomeng Traditional council was also presented with an amount of GH¢5,000.00 and GH¢500.00 worth of airtime, Abetifi traditional council received an amount of GH¢5,000.00 and GH¢500.00 airtime, while Mpraeso traditional council had GH¢5,000.000 with GH¢500.00 worth of airtime.
Presenting the cheques, the Area Sales Manager for Eastern, Volta and Oti regions, Mr. Stephen Asare said the gesture was as a result of the long standing relationship between MTN and the Kwahu Traditional Councils.
He said MTN would continue to render quality service to all its cherished customers in the country.
“The people of Kwahu have been loyal to MTN for the past years, therefore, it is important for us to also appreciate your loyalty to the company by supporting the community at all times”, he emphasised.
He notified the chiefs and elders that nominations for this year’s MTN Heroes of Change had started until April 25, 2022, to reward individuals and institutions that had made significant impact in the fight against COVID-19 in the country.
Mr. Asare said the work done by these individuals during the period should be inline with the three focus areas of MTN Ghana Foundation which are Health, Education and Economic Empowerment.

Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has announced that the government has accepted the recommendation to abolish the death penalty and replace it with life imprisonment as part of the constitutional review process.
He said the proposed amendment would affect Articles 3, 13, 19 and 72 of the 1992 Constitution, with offences that previously attracted the death penalty instead carrying life imprisonment.
Dr. Ayine made the announcement on July 30, 2026, at the Jubilee House in Accra during the Government Accountability Series while outlining the government’s position on the final recommendations of the Constitution Review Committee.
According to him, the government believes the death penalty is inconsistent with the constitutional right to life and Ghana’s international human rights obligations.
He explained that the recommendation forms part of broader proposals aimed at strengthening the protection of fundamental human rights under the Constitution.
Dr. Ayine said the government had also accepted the spirit of several recommendations to expand rights relating to women, children, persons with disabilities, older persons and the youth.
He added that a comprehensive Human Rights Act would be introduced to protect these rights and provide detailed enforcement mechanisms instead of amending the entrenched provisions of the Constitution through a national referendum.
