From Nana Konadu Agyeman, Amanokrom
THE Agona Abusua of Amanokrom in the Akuapem North District of the Eastern Region has installed Nana Konton Mensa II as the new Osomanyawa (Mankrado) of Amanokrom.
The 55-year-old businessman, known in private life as Mr Mark Twumasi Yeboah, succeeded Nana Akwatia II, who abdicated the stool due to poor health.
At a grand ceremony to swear the oath of allegiance to the chief of Amanokrom, Nana Osim Kwatia II, and the people of the area, Nana Mensa pledged his commitment to always be at the service of the people in the area.
He expressed his preparedness to work with other traditional authorities and the people to uplift the socio-economic status of the area.
To this end, Nana Mensa called on the people not to allow past mistakes and misunderstandings to divide their ranks, “since any disunity among us will undermine our collective resolve to develop our town”.
“All that we need as one people is unity to enable us to continue to live in peace and contribute meaningfully to our community’s development”, he advised the people.
On his part, Nana Osim Kwatia, reminded the new Mankrado that chieftaincy was not about adorning oneself with rich clothes and ornaments but about one’s ability to mobilise his people for meaningful development.
“The best legacy a good chief could leave to his people is his ability to raise the standard of education, health, sanitation among others in his community to the benefit of the people”, he added.
