Member of Parliament for Trobu Constituency, Moses Anim, has called on traditional leaders to utilize their authority to improve their communities and promote development.
Speaking at the installation ceremony of Alhaji Ibrahim Kanton as the Sissala Chief of the Ga North Municipality, the MP praised the newly enskinned Chief and expressed confidence in his leadership abilities within the Sissala Community.
According to Mr.Moses Anim, Alhaji Kanton is widely respected for his honesty, integrity, and straightforwardness.
He commended the Chief’s fearlessness in confronting reality and speaking the truth, even when it may be uncomfortable.
“He will never shy away from telling you the truth. Any time he gets closer to me, I know he will present the unvarnished reality,” remarked the MP, lauding Alhaji Kanton’s exceptional leadership qualities, humility, and interpersonal skills.
The Trobu MP also applauded Alhaji Bukari Hamidu Kabore, the President of the Ga North Council of Zongo Chiefs, for his transformative leadership abilities.

In his address, Alhaji Kabore advised the newly installed Chief not to neglect his community, emphasizing that his Creator will hold him accountable for his stewardship on the Day of Judgment.
