KRACHI WEST MCE VISITS FULANI HERDSMEN IN THE EHIAMANKYENE ENCLAVE

The MCE of Krachi West Hon Emmanuel Kajal Jalulah  in the company of the Municipal Coordinating Director(MCD) Mr Cletus Chevure and some Assembly staff met the Fulani herdsmen in Ehiamankyene and surrounding villages.

The purpose of the meeting was to address some issues concerning Fulanis and farmers. Around this time of the year the worry of most farmers is the indiscriminate destruction of farms by Fulanis and their cattle. Such activities of Fulanis has heightened tensions in areas where they dominate. The MCE thought it prudent to engage the Fulani community to bring to their attention the repercussions of their actions and the dangers ahead. The MCE tasked the Fulanis to take good care of their cattle so it doesn't spoil the produce of the farmers. He told them to desist from using their properties to destroy properties of others.

There has been a new trend of the involvement of Fulanis in most kidnapping cases.

Hon Jalulah used the opportunity to admonish them to be of good behavior since the law will deal with anyone involved in those unwholesome acts when arrested.

The MCD Mr Cletus Chevure used the opportunity to explain to the Fulani community the policies of Government and the need for all of them to join hands in developing Krachi West. 

The meeting also afforded the assembly to take data of the Fulanis in the Municipality.

The leader of the Fulanis was very much happy about the meeting. He said it was the first time an MCE has visited them to listen to their concern so they are grateful and will be grateful for more of these engagements going forward.

The Fulani leader made a promise on behalf of his people that they will leave peacefully with the farmers. He again said he will not be shielding any of his people who goes contrary to the law.

He promised they will also help the agenda of the MCE Hon Emmanuel Kajal Jalulah to develop Krachi West.

God bless Krachi West
