The 15-year vacant stool of Amakye Bare, near Kumasi in the Ashanti Region has finally had an occupant, under the stool name, Nana Gyedu Kumanini IV, who is known in private life as Mr Kwame Alex Frimpong.

Historically, indigenes of Amakye Bare came from Akyem Kumanini and settled in Offin Ano Bare, a suburb of Kumasi, under the reign of the third Asante king.

Formerly one Nana Osei Kwabena ruled Amakye Bare for 60 years and since after his reign it has been vacant for almost 15 years, reasons being that there had been an internal fabricated wrangling and issues to deal with.

But by the matured guidance of Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, and his elders, the case was resolved and thrashed amicably in the presence of the Bantamahene, Nana Baffour Owusu Amankwatia VI, Head of the Krontire Clan and War Marshall for Asantehene, Tepahene Nana Adusei Antwima Ampem, and many others on Monday, 27 November, 2017.

This was the day Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and his elders sat in state and resolved the issues between the two parties.

Following the enstoolmeny, Nana Gyedu Kumanini IV swore an oath of allegiance to Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.

The second day saw the new occupant, Nana Gyedu Kumanini IV, being officially introduced to his town people amidst singing, drumming and chanting of praises.

Nana Gyedu Kumanini IV sat in state at Amakye bare to receive greetings and well wishes from his subjects/people after his introduction as Chief.

Dignitaries present at the ceremony included Abusuapanyin Kojo Mprah, (Head of Amakye bare Stool), Nana Mamisehene, Nana Kwabena Krofromhene, Obaapanyin Akosua Ataa, staff members of T&G Royal Ghana and partners from Taiwan and the general community members of Amakye bare.
