Outgoing President handing over to Ms Gborgblorvor
The Rotary Club of Obuasi has appointed Rotarian Delphine Gborgblorvor as the new president of the club.
She becomes the fifth president since the establishment of the club in 2019.
Her announcement and handover ceremony coincided with the official launch of the fifth anniversary of the Obuasi Rotary Club.
Miss Gborgblorvor comes into her new role with a rich experience in the health field and a zeal to serve humanity as the Rotary Club is noted for.
She has been a Rotary member in good standing and as president, she is expected to rely on her experience to drive the vision of the club in Obuasi.
She takes over from Godfrey Mwachande who has successfully served his term.
The new president said her leadership would be centred on Rotary International’s areas of focus which include promoting peace, fighting disease, providing clean water, sanitation, hygiene, saving mothers and children, supporting education, growing local economies, and protecting the environment.
She touched on activities lineup for the fifth anniversary, saying the club would continue to create hope in the world by implementing the ‘Magic of Rotary’ initiative, with some activities focused on promoting peace ahead of the 2024 elections.
Activities to promote peace ahead of the elections, she said, include peace walks, clean-up exercises and tree planting to remind Ghanaians the importance of maintaining peaceful co-existence before, during and after the December 7 election.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
