The Association of Police Officers from Asanteman has reaffirmed its allegiance to the King of Asante, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, promising never to conduct themselves in a manner that would bring disrepute to Asanteman.

Members of the group have promised to uphold and defend the integrity of Asanteman and Ghana as a whole.

During a courtesy call on the Asantehene at the Manhyia Palace to congratulate him on the 25th anniversary of his ascension to the Golden Stool, COP Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah (Mrs.) assured the King of their continued allegiance.

Speaking on behalf of her colleagues, she said, “We want to thank Otumfuo Osei Tutu II for his counsel and congratulate him on his 25th anniversary ascension to the Golden Stool. We pray for God’s strength and long life to embark on the many developmental projects in Asanteman. We also want to assure him that his children and grandchildren in the police service will never disgrace him or the stool. We will work hard in sincerity to protect lives and property to bring honour and glory to the Asante Kingdom.”

The group also donated GHC80,000 to Asantehene towards the Heal Komfo Anokye Project.

The purpose of the project is to address the urgent need for infrastructural improvement at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), Ghana’s second-largest teaching hospital, which receives referrals from 12 out of the 16 regions of Ghana.

Despite its reputation for providing quality and affordable healthcare services and conducting groundbreaking research, KATH faces serious infrastructural challenges that affect service delivery to patients, visitors, and staff.

The Asantehene 25th Anniversary Legacy Projects, as part of its impact mission, is mobilising resources and funding to implement a comprehensive solution that will improve Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital’s (KATH) infrastructure and ensure that it continues to provide a more functional and efficient hospital environment that promotes healing, comfort, and safety for the people of Ashanti Region and beyond.
