Even at his backyard, the Okyehene is supervising illegal mining. Amotia has superitended the destruction of all water bodies in Akyem lands. Okyehene to be enstoled as Galamseyhene

Are you serious? The man is talking about development and you are talking about his clothes? You need bring your brain home and stop the crazy politic. Just think for a moment about the plight of the many living there.

The Okyehene is saying the neglect started 50 years back. My question is why blame the present gvt only. You always vote for anything aligned to the Busia/Danquah tradition in the Eastern region, so why not blame all past governments including Busia's PP and Kuffuor's NPP? They should have been of a better help.

Bobby, did you read him well? He blames "successive governments" including the current one. He highlights a 50 year trend. This is simple to understand.

Your mentality, low level of intelligent and tribal mantra show you are a desperate person. I would recommend you to the 'akonodi, antoa nyama and the tigari shrines of Akwapem, Asante and Akyem Abuakwa respectively. Your pile is really rotten to the bone!! Ha, ha, ha aaaaaa!

Nana says no Government, since fifty years ago, has done anything for the Region.

Does it worth putting in any effort for ungrateful people who would insult you if you are for one reason or another not able to finish the well meant project?
Should he not rather blame our incapability to produce a qualified Political Leader?
I bet, the NPP would have made all necessary efforts to complete the Road, but Ghanaians had their own reason to reject NPP, when they chose NDC in 2008. A party that has decided to let Ghana rot and sink in debts.
Thank God, the President and his Brothers, the richest Ghanaians, own their own Jet Planes, The only qualified people to hold Ministerial positions are Northeners and Ewes.

WAS RAWLINGS Present at this durbar? That man is a a bogus man , a tribalist of the first order, a pretender and satanic. All he knows is to select Volta Region festivals which he attends--Hogbetsotso, Avetime Amu festival, North Tongu, Aval
klasu, Kpandu, Aveyime Festivals etc etc. An unrepentant tribal jingoist who sees nothing good with other tribes especially Akans apart from his EWE tribe. A divisionist who should be stopped.

That's why people must get ready to vote the clueless and incompetent Mahama-led NDC gov't out of power in 2016. There's no way they'll tackle the roads; all they want is show Ghanaians how they're building fly-overs and highway. Kuffour didn't build highways, but also concentrated very, very much on the feeder/rural roads. That's why there was food in surplus. The NDC said in their 2011 campaign that Rawlings ruled 2X as elected Prez., Kuffour also ruled 2X so they should be allowed to the same.

In fact voting and elections is all about performance or merit; it's not about cheating in an election to foist a party or one's will on the people. That's what we're seeing right now. The only solution to seeing any meaningful progress in Ghana's economy is to vote out the NDC. They're nation wreckers!

Ha, ha, ha,aa, aaaaaaaaa! This is no surprise because it is the culture of the men in Kyebi just to laze about whilst their women folks work hard to feed them . The men normally pile themselves up at Ahenfie, the Okyehene's palace for their meals. They love their 'mankeni' fufuo and dog meat (odwia korkor) and 'adoka' wine for afters. As their culture, their chief 'Galamsehene' Amoatia is waiting for the government to advance progress in his Kyebi. Tafo, Kukurantumi, etc. By the way, when has the the Okyehene become the spokesman for Eastern Region? May be Okyehene is trying to manouvre the authority of the chiefs of Eastern Region. So for all these years what positive action has this Okyehene taken in fostering good relationships between his people and the citizens of Ghana?. Okyehene and all others must take the initiative to encourage community spirit towards community projects rather than always waiting for someone else to take up development projects for them. A good chief must have exhibit at least, organising skills and good leadership. Nana Amoatia should start organising his people now for basic
projects in the Region. This is his duty and he must learn to collaborate to work jointly with the government towards community development in the Region. Otherwise, he should be angry with selfishself
