On Monday afternoon, the Ashanti Regional House of Chiefs offered Vice President Bawumia a morale-boosting prayer following an interactive meeting with the NPP Flagbearer.

As part of his tour of the Ashanti Region, which began on Monday, June 10, Dr. Bawumia was hosted in Kumasi by the Regional House of Chiefs, where he detailed his vision to the traditional rulers.

Dr. Bawumia spoke extensively about the government's achievements since 2017 across various sectors, as well as his personal role in supporting the President, particularly in areas where he had permission to lead the execution of numerous initiatives and policies.

Subsequently, Dr. Bawumia shared his own vision and policies, which he hopes to implement "by the grace of God" as President.

Dr. Bawumia's comprehensive presentation covered the economy, agriculture, education, empowering small-scale miners, a new tax system including a flat tax rate, job creation through training 1 million youth in coding, agriculture, empowering the private sector, and digitalization.

After the extensive presentation, some Chiefs and Queen mothers, who were given the opportunity to speak, embraced several of Bawumia's policies and also made suggestions to improve upon them.

Delivering the closing remarks, the Mamponghene, Daasebre Osei Bonsu II, speaking on behalf of the Ashanti Regional House of Chiefs, commended Dr. Bawumia for his detailed presentation.

He particularly praised Dr. Bawumia for his digital policies and his contributions to digitalization, as well as his proposal for the amendment of the Chieftaincy Act to grant more powers back to traditional authorities.

The Mamponghene also commended Dr. Bawumia for his policy to engage the private sector in undertaking more government infrastructure projects, noting that such a policy would particularly benefit the railway sector.

In his final words, the Mamponghene assured Dr. Bawumia of the House's prayers, saying:

"We are all asking the Almighty God to be behind you and help you. We are very grateful to you, and we shall inform Otumfuo about what transpired here today before you meet him on Wednesday."
