KSI SUPPORTERS TOO GOING TO ACCRA FOR THE INAUGURATION

-

There is no doubt that the Ashanti region played a pivotal role in the victory of the NPP and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in the December 7 Presidential and Parliamentary elections. 

The difference between the popular votes of President John Mahama of the NDC and Nana Akufo-Addo in the Presidential polls was even wider than it was four years ago a situation considered to have led to the eventual victory of the party. 

It is for this reason that the residents and functionaries of the party in the region are sharing in the victory of Nana Akufo-Addo especially as he is to be inducted as the 5th President of the 4th Republic of Ghana tomorrow at the Black Stars Square in Accra.

 A visit to the Regional office of the NPP at Krofrom in Kumasi showed that almost all the Regional Executives have already traveled to Accra to witness the event.

 Only the Regional Welfare Officer, Nana Kwaku Duah together with some staff at the office are left behind to manage the secretariat as well as organize some party faithful from Kumasi to Accra for the inaugural ceremony. 

At the time our Correspondents arrive at the secretariat, some cars and party supporters were ready to travel tonight. 

They were in high spirit and ready to cheer Nana Akufo-Addo as he assumes leadership of Ghana as the new President. 

Meanwhile, a visit to Adum, ‘Dr. Mensah’ and Central Market showed that the sale and patronage of NPP memorabilia as well as effigies of Nana Akufo-Addo are booming again after a relapse when the euphoria that came with the declaration of results of the election.

 People who said they cannot travel to Accra to witness the event however expressed support and goodwill for the new President.

THE STATE OF KUMASI'S 'INDUSTRIAL AREA

-
The once Industrial enclave of the Ashanti region within the Kumasi metropolis is fast losing its status as the nerve centre of jobs for the people.     This is due to the collapse of most of the companies in quick succession in  the last few years for various reasons. Background Industrialization was a key component of the first wholly indigenous government of Ghana led by Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. The Ashanti region was not left out in this drive which was meant to create decent jobs for the residents, particularly the youth.  Asokwa, Ahinsan, Kaase, Atonsu and Kyirapatre were the communities that became what is known as the ‘Industrial Area’ of Ashanti from the early 60s.  The christening of this enclave as the ‘Industrial Area’ was the people’s appreciation of the numerous state and privately owned companies that were sited there.  These communities fall within present day Asokwa Constituency which is in the western part of the metropolis from the Accra d

New Campus of the Kwamang Presby SHS The Kwamang Presby Senior High/Technical School in the Sekyere Central district of Ashanti needs an urgent external intervention to address some of its pressing basic needs to function very well.  A visit by Ashanti Today to the school’s premises revealed that the school does not have an administrative block to administer affairs of the school for which reason the Headmistress, the Bursar and another staff are sharing one room which has been partitioned, while the Assistant Headmaster, the rest of the Accounts staff among other administrative officers are also working from an improvised classroom. Anybody who visits the Kwamang Presby Senior High Technical school for the first time will unavoidably take it for a basic school.  This is more so when it appears to be perching on the premises of the local Junior High School as its old site.  The school is wallowing in a myriad of challenges that are seriously militating against
