Some aggrieved residents of Abuontem, a community with the Bosomtwe Constituency
are unhappy with ongoing construction works by some private developers in the area.
Consequent to a directive issued by the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, halting all building operations by a person, group of persons or cooperate body who has acquired a plot or plots of land until further notice, they are shuddered by why some individuals have disregarded the directive.
In an interview with this medium, highly peeved residents alleged that the Chief of the area, Nana Akomea Sakyi Tutu II is the one who has given private developers the green light to resume work.
According to one Kwame Kusi (a resident cum a PWD), the inaction in question is a great disrespect to the Asantehene.
He therefore called on the Asantehene to intervene before matters slip out of hand.
Residents by name Kwadwo Asiedu and Kwabena Fosu also pleaded jointly on the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II to address the situation, adding that they are ready to resist anybody who has no respect for the orders of Asantehene.
However, the Administrator to the Chief of the area, Mr. Akwasi Acheampong has foiled the above allegations pelted at the Chief of the area, Nana Akomea Sakyi Tutu II.
After describing them as fallacious charges, he admitted that the Asantehene has given such directive and that even after the directive was given, Nana Akomea Sakyi Tutu II ensured a public announcement of same was made on several occasions.
“So how will Nana Akomea Sakyi Tutu II turn around and give a private developer or an individual permission to work on a land within his jurisdiction.”
“What evidence do they have to prove that Nana Akomea Sakyi Tutu II has permitted somebody to work”, he challenged.
“With the greatest of respect Nana Abuontemhene has not given permit to any developer to resume work on any land because the matter is before the Asantehene.
Those making such allegations should prove with evidence “, he reiterated.
