The Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei Mensah is begging residents in the region over the poor road network in the area following their plans to demonstrate.

The attention of the executives of Young Patriots has been drawn to a purported statement issued by Mr Ntim Kwaku Twumasi claiming to be a patron at Spiritan University.

An association of youth in the Ashanti Region has said a publication that appeared in a UK-based news portal citing Otumfuo Osei Tutu II in a money laundering scandal is spurious. A statement issued Wednesday evening by the Concerned Youth of Asante stated that its President, Nana Dr Agyenim Boateng, is “convinced that the news is cooked to degrade the name of His Royal Majesty of the Asante kingdom.” The revered Asantehene is reported to have handed £350,000 cash to a banker, Mark Arthur, to be deposited on his behalf at the Ghana International Bank in the UK. The bank official who handled the transfer said he did that because he is a subject of the King and could not question him over the money or any other issue.
