Arrangements have almost been concluded for the final burial rites of the Queen mother and mother of Asantehene Nana Afia Kobi Serwaa Ampem II, Asantehemaa.
To ensure a well-organized program for the set date, the planning committee has come up with a set of dos and donts that they feel would help the day be more organised.
These rules are not optional for anyone who wishes to attend the ceremony.
The committee is using this medium to issue a stern warning to people who may attend the final funeral rites to refrain from hooting at dignitaries at the funeral grounds in Kumasi.
It warned that any act of making insulting comments about the dignitaries who will be present on that day will not go down well and the perpetrator will be dealt with as the act does not encourage national unity.
Chief of Staff of Manhyia Kofi Badu expressed worry about the incident that happened at the one-week observation of Nana Afia Kobi Serwaa Ampem II where the outgoing President John Dramani Mahama was hooted at and was practically insulted.
He stressed that the incident caused the displeasure of the King His Majesty and that the Committee has been tasked to ensure such ’embarrassing’ incident does not repeat itself

In the light of this, Mr. Badu warned people who will be commiserating with the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II to desist from such unruly behaviour during the final rites.
The thirteenth Queen mother of the Asante kingdom will be buried on January 16, 2017.
