Akim Oda (Eastern Region) 21 June '99

The New Kotokumanhene, Oseadeeye Frempong Manso IV, will be outdoored at a durbar of chiefs at the Akim Oda public park on Saturday, June 26.

Obrempong Affum Afronteng IV, Adontehene of the Akim Kotoku traditional area, said on Monday that the durbar would climax a four-day outdooring programme for the new Omanhene.

The programme would start on Thursday June 24, at Gyasekese, the palace where Oseadeeye Frempong Manso would sit in state for the chiefs in the traditional area to swear the oath of allegiance to him.

Obrempong Afronteng, acting president of the traditional council, said this would be followed by the purification of the palace and the stool house on Friday, June 25.

The programme would be rounded up with a thanksgiving service at the Akim Oda Presbyterian Church on Sunday June 27.

The acting president appealed to all sons and daughters of Akim Kotoku to come in their numbers to grace the occasion.
