"Bad governance breeds problems and troubles in nations. Africa’s problem is that of leadership. Wherever there is turmoil and hardship is any nation, then leadership is to blame," he said.
The Chief of Agona, thus, urged Nana Akufo-Addo to constantly trust God, as He is the only one who anoints Kings, adding that "we pray for God’s guidance for you, and I am certain that if you do God’s will, His will for your life will also come to pass."

NHIS collapse
In the Afigya Sekyere East constituency, Barima Owusu Sekyere, Chief of Asaman, in the Afigya Sekyere East, said the National Health Insurance Scheme, established by the Kufuor-led NPP government, to remove the constant fear of falling ill under the inhumane Cash & Carry system, has collapsed in his town.
According to the Chief, residents of his town, who in times past beamed with smiles after returning from the hospital, now have to pay exorbitant amounts of money, in the midst of the prevailing hardships and suffering, in order to access healthcare.
"When as a government you only think of infrastructural development, without paying attention to the wellbeing of the citizenry, it is a cause for worry. President Kufuor instituted the National Health Insurance Scheme, which enabled residents to access affordable healthcare at the Asaman Hospital.
"These days, you even have to buy paracetamol yourself, whereas in those days, under President Kufuor, you come home from the hospital with all the drugs paid for by the NHIS. Today, we have to pay for healthcare services, as well as pay for the drugs. This situation is unacceptable," the Chief bemoaned.
