The newly gazetted paramount chief of the Wenchi Traditional Area in the Bono Region has cautioned individuals involved in the illicit sale of land in the area to halt their operation or face the necessary sanctions.
Ampem Osagyefo Annye Amo Ampong Tabrako III directed people who want to sell land within the Wenchi Traditional Area to use the appropriate legal channels in their dealings.
"All the land in Wenchi belongs to me, the paramount chief, so if anyone needed any parcel of land, they should contact my palace. Now, we want to do things orderly, legally and traditionally within my traditional area with the help of everyone," the paramount chief of Wenchi stressed.
Ampem Osagyefo Annye Amo Ampong Tabrako III gave the caution when the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Wenchi Constituency, Seidu Haruna and some Zongo chiefs visited his palace.
The Wenchi MP was in the palace to officially introduce himself to the paramount chief of Wenchi after he had been gazetted and sworn in as a member of the Bono Regional House of Chiefs.
The paramount chief of Wenchi stated that the much talked about Wenchi’s past glory could resurrect if everyone in the area eschewed all under-dealings and became truthful.
He, thus, appealed to all the people within the Wenchi Traditional Area to assist him in making Wenchi rise again with development.
The MP for Wenchi, Seidu Haruna, blamed disputes in the traditional area for some of the setbacks they have witnessed.
‘‘Why has Wenchi given birth to 9 districts and municipal assemblies, but has Wenchi lagged in development? It means our chieftaincy dispute for over a decade has been the major setback, so it is time for Wenchi to rise again,'' he stated.
He called on Zongo chiefs and the people of Wenchi to support the new paramount chief in every possible adding that Wenchi had lost a lot of opportunities due to the absence of a paramount chief.
The MP for Wenchi commended the Ampem Osagyefo Annye Amo Ampong Tabrako III for ascending the throne as the paramount chief of Wenchi.
He pledged to work with the paramount chief and the traditional authorities to bring development to the area.
