The Nsona Number 1 Royal Family of Amosima in the Abura-Asebu-Kwamankese District of the Central Region has officially installed Nana Kwesi Egyir as the head (Ebusuapanyin) of the royal family.
During the colourful ceremony, Nana Egyirba was also enstooled as Ebusuabaahemaa, while Nana Egyir was additionally installed as the Supi for the Amosima Nsona No.1 Royal family respectively.
Nana Kwesi Egyir gladly accepted the position and thanked his elders for the honour done him with a promise that he would do everything possible to justify the confidence and trust reposed in him.
He noted that though the people of Amosima were predominantly farmers, the deplorable nature of their road network was a major challenge to the community.
According to the newly installed Ebusuapanyin, farmers basically struggled during the rainy season to cart their farm produce to the nearby market areas, due to the poor nature of their roads.
This, he noted, often demoralises the farmers and make their profession highly unattractive to the youth and deter them from developing interest in farming.
He, therefore, appealed to the government to see to it that contractors would move to site to complete all abandoned roads projects in the area, to enhance the movement of goods and services and save lives as well.
He explained that illegal mining activities across the country do not just constitute a national security threat, but also a threat to Ghanaians as a people, as the canker continues to pollute and damage water bodies.
He further appealed to the government not to relent on its fight against the menace, but rather tighten the security around the country’s forest reserves to prevent further destruction to the country’s vegetation cover.
Ebusuapanyin Nana Kwesi Egyir suggested to the government to consider handing the managements of all road tollbooths to traditional rulers for effective management of the facilities if they are reintroduced.
The National Democratic Congress parliamentary candidate for the constituency, Mr Felix Ofosu-Kwakye, who attended the event, noted that a family is the fulcrum around which development evolves.
He, therefore, congratulated the newly enstooled members of the royal family for their acceptance to take up the mantle of leadership to steer the affairs of the family and the community at large.
Mr Ofusu-Kwakye implored them to bring their individual expertise and experience onboard to help the developmental drive of the town, which is the desire of the people.
The colourful event was mainly attended by members of the royal family, opinion leaders, members of the community, as well as friends and sympathisers from far and near.
