Mr. Suda thanked the assembly members for giving him the nod and promised to work with all stakeholders for the speedy development of Yilo Krobo.
     He said despite any differences that might have occurred between some people in the course of his nomination to the position of DCE that should not degenerate into hostilities to retard the development of the district.
     Mr Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, Eastern Regional Minister, said the confirmation of the nominee as DCE indicated that people placed priority on development than their political interest.
     He advised the people to unite and support the new DCE for the development of the district.
     All former Members of Parliaments (MPS) for the area since 1992 and the current MP, Mr Raymond Tawiah and officials of political parties including the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the district attended the function.
