Ghana’s Ambassador to the Republic of Togo, H.E Kofi Mensah Demitia has been enstooled as Dadease Hene and Kyidomhene of Kianae traditional area in the Krachi West municipality of the Oti region.
He now bears a new name and title as Nana Adomako Sekyere Il, Dadease Hene and Kyidomhene of Kianae traditional area.
His enstoolment comes after the demise of Nana Adomako Sekyere I who passed away in 2011.
Traditionally, a new chief is to be enstooled to continue developmental works and other responsibilities in the traditional area.
After many years of waiting for a new chief, the people of Osramanae, a sub community in the Krachi west municipal have successfully recognised and enstooled the Ghana’s Ambassador to the Republic of Togo as their new chief.
The choice was made considering his track records of hard work, concerns for the development of the area and his support to society among others.
The coronation saw the Oti Regional Minister, Joshua Makubu in attendance who congratulated the newly enstooled chief for his hard work.
He further tasked him to work in collaboration with the people of the area regardless of their political affiliations.
The Regional Minister further lamented at the rate at which, many people do not respect and recognise traditional leaders hence undermined their authorities.
“These people have forgotten that our traditional leaders are the custodians of our land and must be given the due respect” He stated.
According to him, the only time some political leaders also respect and recognise our traditional leaders is when they are seeking for power but forget them after gaining the power.
He further appealed to residents in the traditional area to support the newly enstooled chief, Nana Adomako Sekyere Il, to enable him to bring more developments into the municipality and the region as a whole.
The regional minister was accompanied by the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Hon. Emmanuel Kajal Jalula.
Addressing his people, Nana Adomako Sekyere Il promised to work with the people of Kianae as their predecessors did.
He said, he has not been enstooled to be served but to serve hence needs the support of all regardless of individual political affiliation or ethnicity.
“There are lots of things to do that will bring development and to create job opportunities for our youth. Let us be united and work together to foster development and growth.” He noted.
However, residents have expressed gratitude for the coronation ceremony and for them having a new leader.
Some recounted the ordeal they went through for the past 11 years as a result of living without a traditional leader.
Some narrated that, most cases regarding land issues are pending whiles issues of people going against customary laws went unpunished.
They are now certain that the enstoolment of a new chief will bring a new dawn of development in the Kianae traditional area.
He swore to Nana Gyane ll Gyanekrom Hene and Adontehene of Kianae traditional Area
