Installation
Obrempong Kwaframoah made the call at the installation of Nana Marfo Amparbeng III as the new chief of Anyinam Kotoku near Oda in the Eastern Region last Monday.
Known in private life as Mr Bernard Kwabena Asare, 43, who is an accountant of Tema-based Danimak Engineering Limited, the new Anyinam Kotoku chief succeeded his late uncle, Nana Karikari Marfo Amparbeng, who died sometime ago.
The grand ceremony attracted many traditional rulers including the chief of Akyem Apaaso, Nana Kwadwo Ahenkorah III, the Benkumhene of Akyem Awisa, Nana Otuo Kyei Bamfo, and the Queenmother of Akyem Asene, Nana Ama Adom Agyeiwaa Agyekumwaa II.
Obrempong Kwaframoah advised the new chief to eschew divisive tendencies and to be courteous to all manner of people in order to receive their support at all times.
He enjoined him to listen to advice from the kingmakers and his elders, stressing that he should not base his actions or judgment on hearsay, since most of such reports were false.
The Queenmother of Anyinam Kotoku, Nana Bamfoa Konadu Yiadom I, called on the people not to undermine the reign of Nana Marfo Amparbeng but instead give him maximum support to his administration to speed up the progress of the community.
