Chiefs Raises Issues With Asoma-Cheremeh's Nomination As BA Minster  
The Sunyani Traditional Council has expressed some
reservations about the nomination of Mr Kwaku
Asoma-Cheremeh as the Brong Ahafo Regional
Minister-designate.

According to the chiefs, they would not give him
the needed support should he be given
parliamentary approval.
 
At a press conference at the Palace of the Sunyani
Omanhene on Thursday, the chiefs accused Mr
Asoma-Cheremeh of inciting people against their
authority.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in
announcing Mr Asoma-Cheremeh as Brong Ahafo
Regional Minister designate on Tuesday touted his
hard work which made it possible for the NPP to
win 20 seats in the region.

But the Krontihene of the area, Nana Bofotia Boa
Amponsem II said the conduct of Mr Asoma-Cheremeh
towards the authority of the traditional council
was unacceptable and for that matter they could
not collaborate with him as a regional minister.

“While we cannot stop him from becoming a
regional minister, what we are saying is that we
cannot be part of his administration,” he said.

Nana Amponsem, however stated that the doors of
the council was opened for amicable settlement of
an impasse that had existed between the council
and Mr Asoma-Cheremeh, who is the current regional
chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
