Western Regional House of Chiefs has commended Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for his respect for traditional authorities.

As an integral part of his Regional campaign tour, Dr. Bawumia meets traditional authorities among other stakeholders.

On Thursday, he met the Western Regional House of Chiefs in Takoradi and shared his vision with them as well as listened to their concerns as he intensifies his campaign towards the December elections.

During the meeting, the acting President of the Western Regional House Chiefs, on behalf of the House, praised Dr. Bawumia’s humility and honor for traditional authority.

“Your humility and respect for traditional authorities in the country is overwhelming”, the acting President said.

He added; “We are also reciprocating this gesture to you, hence our presence here to receive you.”

Dr. Bawumia promised the traditional leaders that he will amend the Chieftaincy Act to restore their power.

Dr. Bawumia explained that traditional rulers appear to be left off the governance system and restoring their power, especially to deal with local judicial matters, will not only accord Chieftaincy institution more respect but also it will free up the piling of local disputes at the law courts.

The Vice President also stressed his government will establish a fund to develop the chieftaincy institution.
