Mr Solomon Tetteh Appiah, Kpone-Katamanso Municipal Chief Executive has called on Ghanaians especially those in leadership positions to turn the country’s challenges into developmental opportunities.
He said it was not enough for people to complain about challenges without looking deep into how to create opportunities while solving them.
Mr Appiah said when he took office as the MCE, the youth complained and threatened to embark on series of demonstrations due to the leakage sipping into the communities and the lagoon from the Kpone Landfill site, a situation he promised to turn around.
“I was able to convince the Minister of Sanitation, Water Resources to transform the unwanted mountain of refuse into an ongoing re-engineering place which when completed would have access roads, fencing, and trees among others and would be suitable for recreational purposes,” he said.

The Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources, Ms Cecilia Abena Dapaah, has paid a visit to the Kpone Landfill site which is being decommissioned and is undergoing reengineering for its conversion into a recreational facility.
On her visit to the 48-acre site yesterday, she inspected work being done by the contractor and was briefed on the remaining works to be undertaken at the site.
The minister was assured that the project, which began in June last year, would be completed in December this year.
Ms Dapaah was accompanied on the tour by the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Mr Henry Quartey; the Kpone Katamanso Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Mr Solomon Tetteh Appiah, and some members of staff of the ministry.
Kpone-Katamanso NPP maidens descend on ‘ignorant and unpatriotic’ MCE
The impasse between some aggrieved New Patriotic Party (NPP) members in the Kpone-Katamanso Constituency in the Greater-Accra Region and the Municipal Chief Executive, Solomon Tetteh Appiah does not appear like ending anytime soon.
A female loyal group, the Kpone-Katamanso NPP Maidens has joined the fray with calls on the general public to ignore pronouncements of the MCE on certain media platforms which they argue could only be coming from an ignorant and unpatriotic mind.
Solomon Tetteh Appiah is alleged to have spewed “blatant, unjustifiable and absolute lies” against the party’s Parliamentary Candidate, Hopeson Yaovi Adorye on an Accra-based radio station, regarding his campaign in the 2020 parliamentary elections.
