Dome-Keniago Chief Bans Politicians from Seeking Support Amid Neglect of Manso Kwabenaso

Otumfour Brempong Nana Obeng Mensah Ababio II, the Dome-Keniago Chief, has issued a stern warning to politicians at all levels, from district to national, to refrain from seeking political support from his community. Speaking during a public gathering in Manso Kwabenaso on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, he criticized the lack of attention to his town’s development needs. “Since Kwabenaso came into existence, we’ve been denied basic social amenities like schools that are vital for growth,” he said.

The chief revealed that the Manso Kwabenaso community has been forced to build and fund its own schools using local resources, despite the modern era and the absence of government support. “This self-reliance is unacceptable and must stop,” he asserted, calling for urgent government action to alleviate the burden on his people.

Nana Obeng Mensah Ababio II expressed frustration with the Amansie South District, noting that 34 communities fall under his traditional area council, yet the district has overlooked his input. “They seem not to care about us. If they don’t want us as part of the district, they should separate us,” he declared, hinting at a potential rift.

He also emphasized the vastness of the Manso region, advocating for a fair share of national resources. To address educational gaps, he offered land plots to the government to construct secondary and tertiary institutions for the Manso Domi-Keniago Traditional Area. “Amansie South District has only one secondary school, which is far from sufficient,” he added, showing his willingness to support development initiatives.

This strong stance has ignited conversations about equitable development in rural Ghana, positioning the chief’s remarks as a rallying cry for policymakers. Further updates will be provided as the situation evolves.
