He revealed that, the absence of chief in the area has totally deprived the community for benefiting from any developmental projects in the country . Sounding very emotional, Mr. Bernard K. Fosu appealed to Asantehene to as a matter of urgency help solve the chieftaincy problem in the area and to immediately install them a Chief since it has retarded the development of the community for long.
