The traditional authorities at Amakyebare, a farming community on the Atwima Nwabiagya South district in the Ashanti Region have appealed to the Asantehene, Otumfour Osei Tutu II to enstool a chief for them, as the throne has been vacant for years.
The Abusuapanin in the community, Opanin Kofi Adu addressing a press conference on Tuesday, 13th September, 2017 noted that the absence of a chief in the community has caused development to be in deadlock.

He said the delayed installment of a chief in the community is as a result of Chieftaincy disputes, hence, the need for the Asantehene to immediately intervene to appoint an indigene of the community who can bring them development to occupy the throne.

He disclosed that some strangers who trace their background from Tepa but living in the community are attempting to snatch the throne with money and that Otumfour must as a matter of urgency come into the matter to put things in order.

Opanin Kofi Adu who spoke on behalf of his people decried the challenges they are going through due to the situation.

He said "lawlessness has been on the rise, development has been in limbo, residents defecating in classrooms due to lack of toilet facility among other essential social amenities which he said they have been deprived of".

Meanwhile, some of the residents in the Amakyebare community speaking with the media lamented over the challenges they are facing, ranging from poor road network, lack of potable drinking water, increase in armed robber activities among others.

According to them, robbery activities has been on the rise in the area, due to the poor state of the road leading to the community.

They noted that some unscrupulous persons have been laying ambush on the road, robbing travelers who ply the rough road for their businesses.

One of them said the robbers have been killing some of the residents after robbing them, a situation she said has left them in fear and panic.

They therefore called on the government to come to their aid and bring development to the area.
