Gbese Mantse visits Dome community

The Gbese Mantse and the Adonten of the Ga State, Nii Ayi Bonte II, at the weekend called on the Queen of the Dome Community, Manye Akwele Kruman I at her palace in the Dome-Kwabenya municipality in the Greater Accra Region.

The visit, according to the Gbese Mantse, was to officially introduce his entire kingship to the people of Dome following his gazetting as the Gbese Mantse in the national register of the National House of Chiefs.

He expressed his gratitude to the queen for hosting him and called on the people of the area to unite and be truthful to one another to enable them to coexist peacefully and to contribute meaningfully to the town's development.

The Gbese Mantse stressed that, “the responsibility has fallen on us to work together as a people with a common vision to help bring development to the entire community and the Ga municipality at large”.

He stated that plans were far advanced to install a new chief for the Dome community to replace Nii Adu Ablefo II, who passed away 15 years ago.

Nii Ayi Bonte II advised the entire citizenry to desist from encroaching on plots of lands that had been reserved to serve the national interest.

He stressed that anyone caught encroaching would be punished.

The queen of the Dome community expressed her commitment to play a key role in ensuring that a new chief was installed to lead the people in the development of the area.

She thanked the Gbese Mantse and his elders for the visit and assured them that the Dome community was prepared to support the installation of a chief.
