- Asantehene resolves Kenyasi No. 2 dispute
- Newmont to resettle affected residents
- Resettlement promotes community development
Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has intervened to resolve the long-standing dispute between the chiefs of Kenyasi No. 2 and Newmont Gold Mining Company over the resettlement of residents in Tutuka.
At a meeting between the chiefs and residents of Tutuka, Nana Asokwah, Akyeamehene of Kenyasi No. 2, announced that Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has directed the chiefs to allow Newmont to resettle those affected by the company’s activities on both Kenyasi No. 2 and Kenyasi No. 1 lands.
According to Nana Asokwah, “Although Tutuka is part of Kenyasi No. 2, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has authorized us to allow Newmont to evenly resettle the affected residents on the lands of both Kenyasi No. 2 and Kenyasi No. 1 to promote development in both communities.”
The Akyeamehene urged the residents of Tutuka to respect and comply with the directives of the Asantehene, who is the custodian of their lands, for their own benefit.
With this resolution, the dispute that had been hindering development in the area is expected to be put to rest, paving the way for progress and growth in the communities.
