Otumfuo Saamanhene Angry …Over Stray Cattle

OTUMFUO’S SAAMANHENE, Nana Osei Kwaku III, is fuming with rage over stray cattle that are released by their owners to roam about in the streets of Kumasi.

“These stray cattle are often seen on the streets that lead to the Manhyia Palace, the official seat of the Asantehene, and it is not good”, he complained.

According to the Saamanhene, several top dignitaries both in Ghana and from abroad visit Palace “and it is not good when they see cattle in the streets”.

The Kumasi Mayor, Osei Assibey Antwi and other top members of the KMA were present when the traditional leader complained.
