The newly appointed District Chief Executive (DCE) for Dormaa East, Hon. Osei Owusu King, paid a courtesy call on the Mansen Divisional Chiefs of Wamfie on Thursday, June 12, 2025.

Accompanied by the Assembly’s Management Staff, the visit served as an official introduction to the traditional authority and as an opportunity to discuss key development initiatives and strengthen collaboration for the district’s progress.

The DCE also sought the blessings of the traditional leaders to support his tenure in office.

During the engagement, the District Coordinating Director, Mr. Maxwell Mark Mensah, joined Hon. Owusu King in outlining the government's current development priorities.
