Bob Geldof, known for his 1985 Live Aid concert, was crowned chief of development in Ajumako-Bisease, a town in Ghana, in 2004. Now the people and the town chief, Nana Okofo Kwakora Gyan III, are asking where the help is.
Geldof had promised numerous development projects. Among them was financing the building of a covered market with adjacent parking and roads leading to and from it and building a hospital.
After Geldof’s crowning ceremony, his responsibilities were given to him. He was told that he was expected to return to the town every August.
Is this so hard for him to do?
Why did he accept the title of chief of development if he hasn’t done much to build the town up?
Geldof has been helping Africa for more than 20 years. It had to have been genuine if he has been doing it this long.
His selfishness is making it hard for the true humanitarians to shine through.
