Normanyo, Nana Adwoa Foriwah said the president had entrusted her with this mandate, and she is determined to justify that confidence.<\/p>\n<p>She stressed that the district would continue to protect

their duties with the interests of the district and the nation in mind, their commitment would be recognised and rewarded.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, DCE of Adansi South, Oheneba Kwabena Ando, highlighted that rivers such as the Offin, Anum, and Pra have been heavily polluted. <\/p>\n<p>He urged the Blue Water Guards to remain steadfast in their mandate and noted that the district\u2019s rich gold deposits continue to attract illegal miners.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls
