Organisers of this year’s Senya Bereku Homecoming Event have honoured three prominent citizens of the town who have contributed in various ways to its development.

They are the Deputy Minister of Communications, Nenyi George Andah; a retired Commissioner of Police (COP) Mr David Nenyi Ampah-Bennin and Mr Edwin Oduro Amponsah, who was adjudged the 2019 Overall Best Student at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).

They were presented with citations at the 2019 Senya Bereku Homecoming event held last Saturday in the Central Region.

Deputy Minister

Mr Andah, who is also the New Patriotic Partry Member of Parliament for the Awutu Senya West Constituency, was described in his citation as “a selfless personality who is ready to help society and humanity at large.

As a humble servant, you are serving us with integrity.

As a Member of Parliament and Deputy Minister of Communications, you keep giving a solid voice to our community and the constituency at large,” it said.

It added that through selflessness and great efforts Mr Andah had been able to give opportunities to the people in his town and the constituency.

“This is in recognition and appreciation of your hard work and dedication to the good of the society.

We urge you on. May the Almighty God empower and enable you to continue to be a blessing to humanity.

Keep rising, we are solidly behind you,” the citation read.

Ampah-Bennin

For Rev. COP Ampah-Bennin, it said the people of Senya Bereku were fortunate to have such a personality who had dedicated his life to hard work, diligence, honesty, integrity and the fear of God.

“Nenyi, you have laboured tirelessly for the peace and security of our nation and have been great person to the Senya Bereku community.

“You never achieved this for personal attention but for the love of God and humanity. Congratulations for the sacrificial services to Ghana and Senya Bereku. You have served well, Ayeeko,” it said.

Best student

Mr Amponsah’s citation read: “Your achievement will go a long way to inspire the younger ones in the Senya area and beyond to push higher in life.

Mr Amponsah, you have brought great joy and pride to all of Senya Bereku, Senya Senior High School and your family as well.

“You have proven to all that the sky is free and fair to everyone and whosoever wants to reach it cannot be hindered by poverty and challenges.

With hard work, wisdom and dedication to singleness of purpose you have achieved this enviable height”.

Speaking at the ceremony, the organiser of the programme, Dr Joseph Essibu stated that the personalities needed to be celebrated as a result of the pride and honour they had brought to the town.

“These are people who have worked tirelessly to bring honour not only to themselves but to the entire Senya Bereku. We are recognising them to take inspiration from what they are doing not only for the town but the country at large,” he said.

Mr Andah urged the people of Senya to forge ahead in unity in other to develop the town.

For his part, the Awutu Senya West District Chief Executive, Mr Stephen Quaye, said the chieftaincy issue in the town was quite disturbing, and that had compelled the Regional Security Council to cancel the annual Akomase (end of hunger) festival.
