A well attended Easter durbar on Saturday brought together the chiefs and people of Abutia -Kissiflui and Abutia Kpogadzi, both in the Volta Region, for the first time in several decades.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The durbar marked the end of a protracted chieftaincy dispute between the two communities and paved way for rapid development of the communities which lacked basic social amenities.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The two communities have no health facility and depend on one borehole for drinking water with the road leading to the area unmotorable.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The durbar, christened, \u201cDekaworworza\u201d — Unity Festival, aimed to help raise funds for a kindergarten block and an Information Communication Technology (ICT) centre for the only basic school for the two communities.<\/p>\n

Initial peace talks yielded in the reconstruction of the Abutia-Kissiflui market, which is the biggest market in the Ho-West District.<\/p>\n

Mr Godson Anyrator, an Opinion Leader in an address underscored the importance of togetherness and said until the two communities were united, they could not address developmental challenges confronting them.<\/p>\n

He commended the two chiefs for coming together and said the Festival marked the beginning of a new Kissiflui and Kpogadzi.<\/p>\n

Mr Norbert Gonyi, a Community Elder and Chairman for the Festival charged the youth of the two communities to remain united.<\/p>\n

He said the priorities of the communities were education and health and called for support from all stakeholders.<\/p>\n
