The chiefs have been embroiled in a growing row with the DCE since he took office in April last year. The chiefs had refused to grace or attend occasions organized by the district assembly or have the DCE in attendance. To appease the chiefs, the DCE reported the dispute to the Regent of Dagbon, Kampakuyana Abdulai Yakubu Andani, and asked for his intervention. The chairman also claimed the chiefs were having these problems with the DCE because he has refused to meddle in the chieftaincy dispute among the chiefs. He has asked the chiefs “to leave the DCE alone” and allow him space to implement the president’s ‘Ghana Beyond Aid’ transformational agenda.
