Member of Parliament for the Mpraeso constituency, Davis Opoku Ansah has said, Kwahu has the best weather condition in the entire country.
The MP made the statement during a tree planting ceremony at the St. Paul’s SHS in Asakraka – Kwahu.
He said, it was a necessity to observe the Green Ghana Day to replenish the trees that have been deforested in our communities.
“We came simply to join hands with students and management of St. Paul’s SHS to observe the Green Ghana and it’s a day where Ghana uses to replenish the trees that has been cut off”.
Citing one of the solutions to tackle the growing concern of the global climate change issues, the MP added that, it has now become critical and important to plant more trees to address the challenges caused by Galamsey activities.
“I hope you have al heard of climate change. Gradually, the world is becoming warmer and it’s important for us to do something about it. One of the solutions is to plant more trees and that’s why this year, government through the Ministry of lands and natural resources is planting 20 million trees.
We want to commend the government for that bold initiative and we are praying that it sees the day of light. It’s not about us but the for our generation unborn, we don’t want to see a society where even its evening we all feel the heat, already, the heat we feel in Ghana is unbearable. But for us in Kwahu, it is also critical and important for us to continue to grow more trees. This is the best place you can ever enjoy good weather, so let’s all support and grow more trees and continue to make Kwahu the nicest weather in Ghana”, he said while speaking to Republic FM’s Andy Frimpong Manso on Saturday, June 11.
The government of Ghana through the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources is planting 20 million trees across the country. 10 million trees will be planted in our communities while additional 10 trees will be planted in the country’s forest reserves.
