Recent exchanges between prominent leaders, such as the Dormaahene and Asantehene, have raised concerns about the sanctity of leadership, with derogatory remarks undermining the dignity of traditional authority.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must collectively discourage the abuse of digital platforms,\u201d Mr. Agumenu urged, emphasising the importance of educating young people on responsible online behaviour.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is crucial to preserve the honour and integrity of our esteemed traditional institutions,\u201d he pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Agumenu addressed the power of culture in driving economic development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s harness the potential of our rich cultural heritage!\u201d he exclaimed, urging the community to promote tourism as a key avenue for growth.
