Some residents in Kumasi on Saturday embarked on a health walk to express gratitude and respect for the Trade and Industry Minister, Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen.

According to the group, it is time to showcase their son and hero to the world as tradition demands.

It follows reports that the national leadership of the party has ordered the group to halt its intended health walk.

Addressing the media, former MP for Nsuta-Kwaman Beposo, Kwame Asafo Adjei said, “We came today as men and women of Asanteman with special interest in the development of Asanteman and all allies to embark on a health walk. It is non-political as speculated.”

Some former MPs and ministers who served the John Kufuor Administration also joined the health walk.

Supporters from other constituencies in the region also participated in the Health walk.

An initial count of participants as at 6:00am on 13th August, 2022 was close to 20,000 people.
