Asantes do not love Ghana, but Asante man. They only love Ghana when there is something to be gained. All the USELESS wars they fought were to the benefit of Asantes, not Ghana. They did not lift a finger during the fight for independence. Most of them support a candidate because he is an Asante NOT because that candidate is good for our country. In 2024 Asante Region voted for their tribe and they lost. When they get into power, they only think about themselves. They have been jealous of Accra God know when. Anytime they see something in Accra they want same in Kumasi, except for Tema harbor, WHICH CHEDDAR COULD NOT PROVIDE.

Look at your hypocrisy, Akuffo Addo was the president for eight solid wasted years, you could not tell him to develop Kumasi for you. All you can do is share the stolen money with Akuffo Addo.

Does Kumasi or Ashanti region belongs to Ghana or Asantehene? All this while is it now that he has realized he can't depend on politicians. Smh....from the very first day he was installed he should have move Ashanti region with development but he went to sleep. Ashanti region is the biggest village in Ghana and he is a contributing factor. If he wants the title KING then he must up his game. KINGS are not just mere titles, it come with challenge, development, empowerment of the people etc.

Instead they come to do 419 with the people's money. You have some nations on this earth with nonraources but they have made it with their brains, self sufficiency. Look at Ghana blessed with all these resources but the people I don't know Ota like they are allergic to brains.

God bless our Kin, he is telling us to take our destiny into our own hands and with God all things are doable.
What is the criticism here, the man is talking to World Bank not Bank of Ghana. If he is able to lead Ghana to world bank to access loan for the country, why can’t he have social contract with world bank.
Everything in this country is Politics, we should rather praise the man for this bold decision. He understands the concept of decentralization. Others should emulate him to speed up development in our various regions. Ohene long life.

Nana with all due respect, charity they say begins at home.
You have power at least in the Ashanti kingdom.If you speak every Asante listen so please mobilise and make it a routine for people to carry out cleaning up exercise In Kumasi,other towns and villages in Ashanti region to have clean environment and the developments will follow.
Kumasi and other towns in the region don't look attractive because of lack of proper organisation.Make it possible for developers to demolish the many unsafe and old buildings to give way for developments
Please Nana lets

Then why do we still have Tema Development Corporation (TDC) as a government agency terroizing the people of Kpone, Nungua and Tema when we don't have Kumasi or Takoradi or Ho Development Corporations? The TDC must be dissolved to allow the Tema Traditional Council and Kpone Traditional Council and others to manage their own developments. And assets must be returned to the owners.
The TDC has taking over our lands and sold them to individuals and companies which don't benefit us in anyway. The government appoints cronies and non-indigenes to steal and sell our lands anyhow for money because the lands doesn't belong to them.
There should be fairness everywhere, if the TDC model is something good, why don't we have some in Kumasi or Cape Coast too?

May be we 2016 we did not understand much but now after 8 wasted years and how sycophants have been quiet because their party was in power. We can see now how these sycophants all of affairs sudden can begin to speak. What a shame that people will want to be sycophants rather than being nationalistic. Remember oh king that you never had development for 8 years.

Every major project has a design and supervising consultant located on site or near the site with Resident Engineer or Architect supported by a fully staffed technical team. There is therefore no need to do what the Otumfour is saying.

The politicians are mostly not technical so their presence in Kumasi or any other place serves no purpose.

Well said. But development should not be only in Kumasi. It must be Ashanti region as a whole. Yes, you are right in saying that you can’t depend on politicians to develop your region, it means you must use the resources you have selfishly used for yourself in the past to develop the region. The minerals and all the other resources can develop Ashanti without the central government. At least, we have royalties paid to Manhyia every year.

The Asantehene should have generalized the proposal. Singling out his region was far over the bar. Moreover the world bank does not deal with friends, but governments. Friends are dealt with in private.
