The project coordinator of the Ghana State Book, Isaac Bright Botchwey, has urged Ghanaians, especially traditional authorities not to politicise and hijack the documentation of the chieftaincy succession of the various traditional areas in the country.
Speaking to Daasebre Kwaku Boateng, the Omanhene of the New Juaben Traditional Area, Botchwey announced the beginning of the book’s publication for the New Juaben Traditional Area.
He asked everyone to assist the Ghana State Book in achieving its goal of documenting and authenticating the traditional histories of all the traditional states in Ghana.
Daasebre Boateng on his part was happy that it was now the turn of the New Juaben traditional area and promised to work with the team.
“Our ways of documenting is to give everyone the opportunity to participate in order to have authentic history that will be captured in the book,” he said.
“The Ghana State Book commencing the history and tradition of the New Juaben state has taken the burden off from me and they will be given the necessary and needed attention.”
In 2013, officials of the Ghana State Book visited the traditional area to record the history of the region, but they were forced to take a break because Professor Oti Boateng, the then-Omanhene Dasebre, was creating new stools.
