A colorful Durbar of Traditonal and religious leaders, businessmen and women, the general public marked the end of the weeklong Homowo festivities in the Prampram Traditonal Area, with an appeal to government to resolve the perennial water shortage, which has become a nightmare for most residents in the community.
Addressing the gathering, Nene Tetteh Wakah III, said despite previous interventions including the supply of water tankers to some areas in the community, the water situation continues to deteriorate. He therefore called for a permanent resolution to it. Ironically during the entire week of the celebration itself, most parts of the town were without water.

“These (water and sanitation) are not luxuries; they are basic necessities of life,” emphasized.
Nene Tetteh Wakah III, also used the occasion to renewed the commitment of Prampram for development, and encouraged the two traditional areas, as well as Shai Osudoku to close ranks and work for the good of their people.

“let’s work together for unity and progress, he added
The four sub-divisional leaders also renewed their pledge to the stool, and encouraged their followers to work together for the growth of the town.

“Let’s guide our households with wisdom and make us stronger
Let us not lose faith in our future,” Nene Wakah III added
The Durbar was attended by the t regional minister Mrs Linda Ocloo, the MP for the area Sam George and other government officials.
