The President of the National House of Chiefs, Ogyeahoho Yaw Gyebi II, has called on members of the House to support government in its quest to transform Ghana’s economy.
According to him, Ghana can no longer afford to fail its people, adding that the country needs transformation to provide permanent jobs for the youth.
He made the call when the Minister of Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, engaged the House on its financial policy ahead of the official presentation of the 2027 Budget Statement.
The engagement, held on Monday, November 9, 2026, brought together paramount chiefs from across the country to share ideas on the country’s economy.
Ogyeahoho Yaw Gyebi II stressed that chiefs, as custodians of the land and leaders of communities, have a critical role to play in ensuring the success of government’s economic transformation agenda.
“Nananom, let’s support the Minister, support the government to create value for our people,” he stated.
He said the time has come for Ghana to move beyond promises and build systems that deliver real and lasting benefits to the citizenry.
“We should have dependable modules that will enable us to create value for the people,” he added.
The President of the National House of Chiefs further urged his fellow chiefs to actively participate in national discussions and offer constructive ideas to shape policies that affect their people.
He concluded by expressing confidence that with unity and collective support, Ghana can achieve an economy that creates opportunities, jobs, and prosperity for all.
