Tue, 2 Mar 1999 Source: --

Techiman (Brong Ahafo), 2 March, '99 - A traditional ruler has advised chiefs to regard their roles purely as sacrificial and not a means to amass wealth. Osabarima Dotobibi Takyia-Ameyaw the second, paramount chief of Techiman traditional area, gave the advice when the newly-enstalled Adontenhene of Techiman traditional area, Nana Baffour Asare Twi-Brempong the second, swore the oath of allegiance to him at his palace at the weekend. Nana Twi-Brempong, a 35-year-old civil servant known in private life as Mr Emmanuel Kwasi Asare succeeds his late grandfather, Nana Kwame Poku Ababio the second who died last August. Osabarima Takyia-Ameyaw urged the new Adontenhene to respect his subjects and regard himself as the servant of the people. He urged him to tap the rich experience of his elders and promptly respond to their calls without creating room for chieftaincy disputes because they retard progress. Nana Twi-Brempong thanked the paramount chief, and the kingmakers for the honour done him and pledged his unflinching loyalty to the Techiman state and the people.
