King Tackie Tawiah III Coronation proceeds despite protest

Accra, April 13, Ghanadot/GNA – The confusion surrounding the coronation of King Tackie Tawiah III continues as preparations for the event gathered steam.  There were feverish preparations at the grounds of the residence of the Ga Mantse at Kaneshie today for the Coronation intended to take place on Saturday.  Reporters found a busy secretariat processing accreditations and other documents for media houses; decorated sceneries like the setting up of canopies, arrangement of chairs and trunks of trees and other fanciful fixtures were all receiving colorful decorations.

A glance around also captured Asafoatsemen and other stool elders at a meeting, deliberating on how Saturday’s event should proceed. A brief chat with Asafoatse Ahinakwa V and Asafoatse Aboasah by reporters showed them upbeat and certain about tomorrow's event.
