Nii Oto Kwame V, 58, who was outdoored exactly a week after he was elected and confined in the stool house, was taken through some rituals, as well as learning how to speak, sit and walk in public.
Known in private life as Zachariah Dodoo, Nii Oto Kwame V used the occasion to call on the people of Pokuase to unite and forge ahead towards the development of the community.
He, however, stressed that unless the people are disciplined, all efforts to turn and development the community, would be a fiasco.
He noted that Pokuase’s problem needed the support of every citizen to address so that they could all put the town on a pedestal that could rub shoulders with other developed communities that will enable Pokuase play a lead role in the socio-economic development agenda of the country.
Nuumo Gbelemfo, Gua Wulomo, who offered prayers for the new chief and the community, expressed concern about the lack of some major infrastructural development such as a senior high school and market.
He expressed concern over the bad nature of the streets in Pokuase which had a rippling effect on the socio-economic development of the area.
Nii Ofei Nkwantabisa III, Dzasetse of Pokuase, pleaded with all and sundry to rally behind the new Pokuase Mantse so that his desire to turn the community into a safe haven could be achieved for younger generation.
