Madam Sena Akua Dansua, a former Minister of State and current chairperson, Local Government Council, has called on chiefs and citizens of Botoku to unite and join hands in the development agenda of Botoku Traditional Area.
According to her, she had contributed a lot like others in the areas of education, health, electricity, road but more needed to be done.
“However, because of chieftaincy litigation, we are experiencing internal divisions and formation of sectional groups which would only serve as roadblocks to the progress of the area.” Madam Dansua was speaking to journalists at the funeral service of the late Kingsley Kwami Afetor, Senior Linguist of Tamtia paramountcy at the weekend.
He passed away on October 3, 2025 at age 58, after a short illness.
He was installed in 2015 and was a professional driver.
Madam Dansua stressed further that as a development queen mother of Botoku, some people within the community say things to distract her but was bent on improving the lives of her people.
A tribute to Mr Kingsley Afetor by the Botoku Traditional Council noted that he distinguished himself to the position he occupied for 10 years.
Equally he has paid his due in life and led a life worth emulating and prayed that God should comfort his soul.
Togbe Atakora IV, Amankrado of Botoku, in his remarks stressed that historical customs and structures of communities must be respected in order to minimise chieftaincy disputes.
He cautioned against the wrongful coronation of persons not traditionally qualified to occupy traditional positions.
Present at the funeral grounds were the MP of North Dayi, Madam Joycelyn Tetteh and representatives of other political parties.

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has clarified that former Finance Minister Kenneth Nana Yaw Ofori-Atta remains the subject of criminal proceedings in Ghana and is still wanted under a valid arrest warrant issued by the High Court in Accra.
In a public notice, the OSP said it had taken note of a transcript of a hearing from a United States immigration court that has been circulated by some media organisations.
According to the office, the document has been interpreted by some to suggest that Mr. Ofori-Atta has not been credibly charged or linked to any wrongdoing in Ghana.
The OSP rejected that interpretation, explaining that it is not involved in Mr. Ofori-Atta’s immigration proceedings in the United States.
It said its involvement relates only to extradition proceedings, which are being handled through Ghana’s Attorney-General as the country’s central authority.
According to the OSP, the extradition documents are not before the US immigration court and the court has no authority to determine whether the criminal charges against Mr. Ofori-Atta are credible.
“The credibility or otherwise of the criminal charges against Mr. Ofori-Atta is a matter for determination by the courts in Ghana,” the OSP stated.
The office explained that there are three separate legal proceedings involving the former minister.
These include the immigration proceedings in the United States concerning his immigration status, extradition proceedings to determine whether he should be returned to Ghana, and the criminal case before the High Court in Accra involving corruption and corruption-related offences.
The OSP reiterated that Mr. Ofori-Atta remains before the High Court in Accra as an accused person and that a valid warrant has been issued for his arrest.
It maintained that he remains a fugitive from justice in Ghana and is required to appear before the High Court to answer the charges against him.
The Special Prosecutor also stressed that the criminal proceedings in Ghana would continue in accordance with the law and the directives of the High Court, whether or not Mr. Ofori-Atta is physically present in the country.
