President Gives 12 Land Cruisers To Chiefs

The President, John Dramani Mahama has donated 12 Toyota Land Cruiser vehicles to the National House of Chiefs.

Each head of the ten Regional House of Chiefs is expected to get one of the vehicles; the remaining two would be on standby, Joy News' presidential affairs correspondent Seth Kwame Boateng reported.

The president made the donation when he met the National House of Chiefs at Kumasi in the Ashanti Region on Tuesday. The vehicles are expected to help the chiefs in the discharge of their duties, it was gathered.

The President of the National House of Chiefs, Naa Prof John Nabila assured President Mahama that the House was ready to extend to him the same help and respect they gave to his predecessor Prof. John Evans Atta Mills to enable him govern the country.

He also complained of inadequate budgetary allocation to the House of Chiefs, which he said is hampering their efforts to contribute to national development. He noted that a number of chieftaincy conflicts in the country would have been solved if they had enough funds to go about their duty.
