Chief of Staff appeals to Asantehene for support in Affirmative Action Bill passage [Video]

Ghana’s Chief of Staff, Akosua Frema Osei-Opare, has appealed to the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, to lend his support to the passage of the Affirmative Action Bill.

Speaking at the Asanteman Queen Mothers’ Day and Food Fair on Monday, April 22, 2024, in the Ashanti Region, Osei-Opare commended Otumfuo’s efforts in fostering greater female participation in governance within the Ashanti kingdom.

“During your reign as Asantehene, we have seen visible signs of more queen mothers being actively involved in the management of the Ashanti kingdom.

“Queen mothers are now allowed to attend Asanteman Council meetings, which is a deliberate effort to empower women,” she said.

Acknowledging Otumfuo Osei Tutu II’s influential leadership style, Osei-Opare appealed to him to advocate for the passage of the Affirmative Action Bill, currently under review in parliament.

“Nana, your leadership style not only inspires confidence but also sets a powerful example for the next generation of male leaders to follow.
