Asantehene Installs New Pampaso Hene
Asante Hene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has installed new Kumasi Pampamso Hene.
Know in private life as Michael Adabor Yaboah now called Nana Gyimfi Kumanini III William until his Installation was a businessman.
At a ceremony to swear to Asantehene at the Manhyia Palace, sub-chiefs of Otumfuo took turns to advise him on what was expected of him as the occupant of the Pampaso stool.
They reminded him of the task ahead since Pampaso is a sacred place where Asante Hene perform sacrifice to honour gods and Asante Kingdom.
Otumfuo told the new chief that the Pampaso stool was one of the revered stools in the Asante Kingdom and must preserve the dignity and respect accorded the stool as the next occupant.
He counseled him to serve the people with honesty and desist from activities that violates customs and traditions of the Asante people by working closely with elders in his palace.
He cautioned him not to disrespect the elders and people by virtue of being the chief, but rather engage them for wise counsel to be able to provide progressive leadership for the benefit of Asanteman.
Otumfuo was of the conviction that the new Pampasohene would justify the confidence reposed in him by the Kingmakers for selecting him out of some royals who contested for the vacant position.
The Pampasohene thanked Otumfuo and his elders for the honour done him and pledged to serve the people of Pampamso and Asanteman with diligence.
