Otumfuo donated $5 million towards the KATH project – Manhyia rep confirms

A representative at the Manhyia Palace, Nana Poku Bra, has confirmed that the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has donated a whopping five million dollars towards the ‘Heal the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital’ initiative.

The host of the Sompa FM’s ‘Ade Akye Abia’ show said, “We are told that the Asantehene donated 5 million dollars.

Intrigued by the confirmation, Omanhene Adu Boakye continued, “Do you know the worth of one million dollars in cedis.

To him, no traditional ruler in Ghana can produce such a huge amount to fund a project, adding that Otumfuo is living up to his name?

Then some clueless people will be claiming that the Asantehene is begging for funds to establish the project,” he stated.

The Manhyia rep, who concurred with Omanhene’s statement added, “Otumfuo is capable of building that hospital alone.

Head of the Public Affairs Department, Kwame Frimpong, says the hospital is halfway through the estimated 10 million dollars needed to renovate the facility
