President John Mahama yesterday rounded up his accounting to the people tour of the Eastern Region with the commissioning of two water vessels for the people of Kpando and Agordeke at a ceremony at Agordeke in the Afram Plains.<br />

<br />
<br />
The two vessels are a ferry known as the MV Damen 1 and a water bus, MV Akpini Princess.<br />
<br />
For almost a decade now, the ferry that plies between the two areas on the Volta Lake had broken down, making the movement of people and goods difficult.<br />
<br />
The two vessels are, therefore, meant to improve transportation on the Volta Lake.<br />
<br />
The provision of the ferry is a fulfilment of a promise made by the government when the chiefs and people of the Afram Plains made the request two years ago.<br />
<br />
While MV Damen will ply between Kpando and Agordeke and replace the MV Fourth Republic which sank at Akosombo Port in August 2009, MV Akpini Princess will serve the Ntoaboma-Bridge Ano crossing, whose ferry sank recently.<br />
<br />
<b>More ferries to be allocated</b><br />
<br />
Speaking at the ceremony, President Mahama said the Makango-Yeji and Dambai portions of the lake would also be allocated a ferry each to facilitate the easy movement of goods and people.<br />
<br />
He expressed the hope that the two vessels would solve the transport needs of the beneficiary communities and improve their livelihood.<br />

<br />
<b>Tractor services</b><br />
<br />
President Mahama also stated that the government had plans to establish a one-stop tractor plant with all the needed facilities to support farmers in the Afram Plains.<br />
<br />
He noted that some farmers could not afford the tractors so such people would be made to register with the tractor plant and use its services for a fee.<br />
<br />
<b>Ride to Kpando Torkor</b><br />
<br />
The President and his delegation had the first ride on MV Damen from the Afram Plains across the Volta Lake to Kpando Torkor.<br />
<br />
 The journey took one-and-half hours and the delegation finally arrived at Kpando Torkor at almost midnight to hand over the vessel. The chiefs and people, however, waited to welcome the new ferry and their joy was profound.<br />

Acting Kwahumanhene, Nana Asiedu Agyemang III has declared his unflinching support for President John Mahama.<br />
<br />
According to him, given the good works the president has done for the people of Kwahuman and the entire country, he deserves to be given another four year term.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
“It is our prayers that because of your love for the country and love for the people of Okwahuman you should get another four years”, he said in Akan.<br />
<br />
As part of his “Accounting to the People tour” in the Eastern region, President Mahama paid a courtesy call on the acting chief to interact with him.<br />
<br />
The President also used the opportunity to commission the second campus of Eastern University in Donkorkrom as well as many of his government projects constructed in the region.<br />
<br />
Speaking at a ceremony to welcome the President in Kwahu, the acting Kwahumanhene who is also the Adontenhene of the Kwahu traditional area praised President Mahama for his many development projects.<br />
<br />
He thanked the President for commencing the construction of a second campus of the Eastern University located at Donkorkrom.<br />
<br />
He also admonished other presidential aspirants to conduct peaceful campaigns ahead of the November 2016 polls, adding the aspirants must desist from “speaking ill about their opponents” in the course of their campaign.<br />
<br />
“We want them to tell us what they can do and what they have done before”, he said.<br />
<br />
Touching on the nomadic herdsmen issue in the region, Nana Agyemang III pleaded<br />
with the President to help them find a pasture land for the herdsmen so that the many farms of the people would be spared the destruction.<br />
<br />
He, however, stressed they would love to co-exist with the nomadic herdsmen if their activities do not in any way hamper those of the residents.<br />
