La Liga says plans to hold a regular-season match between Villarreal and Barcelona in Miami in December have been cancelled.

In August, the Spanish football federation (RFEF) approved plans to move Villarreal’s fixture against Barcelona to Hard Rock Stadium on 20 December – a decision that sparked discontent in Spain.

The plans to hold a top-flight game outside Spain for the first time faced a huge backlash, with players refusing to move for the first 15 seconds of matches in La Liga at the weekend.

Promoters of the match, Relevent, state the reason for the cancellation is because of ‘insufficient time’ to organise the event, with La Liga also citing the ‘uncertainty in Spain’.

The match will now be held at Villarreal’s Estadio de la Ceramica home as originally scheduled.

The decision to cancel the match in Miami was announced during Villarreal’s 2-0 Champions League defeat at home by Manchester City.

Afterwards, Villarreal boss Marcelino said it showed ‘absolute disrespect’ to communicate this decision while his side were playing.

He added: ‘It is absolutely disrespectful to the club, professionals and board of directors and fans. From here onwards, the club will send an official communication but this is just what I think.’

La Liga said it ‘deeply regrets’ the postponement and described it as a blow to the ‘international profile of the entire football ecosystem’.

La Liga also believed staging an official match outside Spain would have been a ‘decisive step in the global expansion’ of its competition, and that ‘passing up such opportunities makes it difficult to generate new revenue’.

It would have been the first time a European top-flight league match had taken place in the United States, although the Spanish Super Cup has been held in Saudi Arabia in four of the past five seasons.

After the Miami game was originally confirmed, the Italian football federation (FIGC) decided to sanction a Serie A match between AC Milan and Como to be played in Perth, Australia, in February.

Barcelona said it ‘respects and accepts’ the decision to cancel the match and ‘regrets the missed opportunity to expand the competition’s image’ in a market that has a ‘great capactiy for growth and generation of resources for everyone’.

The club added it ‘regrets deeply’ that its fans in the USA ‘are denied the opportunity to see an official game in their country’.

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick had previously said his ‘players are not happy’ and he was ‘not happy’ but ‘La Liga decided that we will play this game’.

The Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG), Dr. Johnson Asiama, says financial technology (Fintech) could become a major source of threat to the financial sector if the country fails to regulate its operations.

The Governor who made this known at the ongoing IMF/World Bank Spring Meetings, in Washington D.C said the Bank of Ghana is already working to improve supervision of the digital financial space.

He said, ‘We did not have fintechs those days, but I believe that if not handled properly, risk could emerge in that area going forward. We are mending the legislation there as well to safeguard financial stability

Dr. Asiama explained that his broader vision for the central bank is to be ‘ready and able to adapt’ to emerging global financial risks.

‘It is critical today. It could be something else tomorrow. It could be anything but we should have the manpower, we should have that agility, we should have the balance sheet to be able to contend with any of these risks as they emerge in the future,’ he added.

The Governor, who has been in office for eight months acknowledged progress made so far by the Central Bank especially the stabilisation of the cedi and financial stability. He, however, stated that deep-seated structural issues such as dollarisation remain a concern.

Dr. Asiama further indicated that his goal is to build a central bank which is not only stable but also agile in the face of evolving challenges emphasising that wider use of the cedi in domestic transactions will strengthen monetary policy and improve economic resilience.

Brandon Thomas-Asante struck twice as Coventry City secured a crucial 2-1 victory over Portsmouth at Fratton Park to move four points clear at the top of the Championship.

The Sky Blues took the lead midway through the first half from a well-rehearsed corner routine. Bobby Thomas nodded the ball across the box to Ellis Simms, whose cushioned header found Thomas-Asante to finish smartly from close range.

Moments before the opener, tempers flared on the touchline as Coventry boss Frank Lampard and Pompey manager John Mousinho clashed following the referee’s decision to wave away a Portsmouth penalty appeal. Referee Gavin Ward and the fourth official had to step in to calm both managers.

Portsmouth pressed hard for an equaliser after the break, but Coventry doubled their advantage ten minutes into the second half. Simms outmuscled Josh Knight near the touchline before sliding a pass through to Thomas-Asante, who raced clear and coolly slotted home past Josef Bursik for his eighth goal of the season.

The home side found a late lifeline in stoppage time when Makenzie Kirk lobbed Carl Rushworth, but Coventry held firm under pressure to seal all three points.

The result strengthens Coventry’s grip on top spot, though second-placed Middlesbrough could cut the gap to one point if they defeat Sheffield Wednesday on Wednesday night.

British YouTuber and BMX rider, Ryan Taylor has opened up about his brief engagement to Nigerian DJ and billionaire heiress, DJ Cuppy.

Speaking on the Ladders Podcast, Taylor revealed that their relationship ended due to personal and professional differences.

Taylor, who proposed to Cuppy in December 2022 after less than a month of dating, claimed the DJ showed disinterest in working with Nigerians in her business. ‘Is it weird that I told you she didn’t like Nigerians? She came into my business and didn’t even want Nigerian staff,’ he said.

Reflecting on the breakup, Taylor described the experience as a learning opportunity. ‘To be honest, what I got from that was lessons. I learned that money is not everything, but not having it is,’ he added.

The couple, who met during the Gumball 3000 rally, sparked excitement with their engagement, but by mid-2023, fans noticed they had unfollowed each other on Instagram, signaling the end of their short-lived romance.

The Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has launched a blistering critique of the committee probing the removal of Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Torkornoo, describing its conduct as ‘a travesty of justice’ and a serious blot on Ghana’s democracy.

Speaking at a leadership meeting with the Parliamentary Press Corps yesterday, Mr. Afenyo-Markin accused the Justice Pwamang Committee of procedural impropriety and bad faith, saying its actions had ‘reduced our democracy to something that cannot even be described.’

According to the Minority Leader, the committee prematurely concluded its work despite not completing hearings on all three petitions filed against Justice Torkornoo.

He said the committee initially directed the respondent and her lawyers to return on the 15th of the month for a second hearing, only for a report recommending her removal to surface ‘out of the blue’ shortly afterward.

‘The Pwamang Committee must be ashamed of itself. Within two hours of producing the report, a decision was taken to act on it. That is not justice; that is an abuse of process,’ Mr. Afenyo-Markin charged.

He further alleged that the committee’s rushed decision-making, especially when the matter was already before both the High Court and the Supreme Court, reflected a disturbing disregard for due process.

‘If the Supreme Court can move expeditiously to hear an injunction but fails to determine the substantive case, what message are we sending?’ he queried.

The Minority Leader warned that such precedents risk eroding judicial independence and damaging the credibility of state institutions.

‘We are setting a precedent that blots the beautiful democracy we otherwise have. Today it is Chief Justice Torkornoo; tomorrow it could be anyone else,’ he said.

Citing historical examples, Mr. Afenyo-Markin recalled how Parliament once upheld fairness when concerns were raised during the nomination of then-Justice Pwamang to the Supreme Court.

He said even opposition Members of Parliament (MPs) at the time, including KT Hammond, resisted calls to block the process, emphasising the need for equity and restraint.

‘What my Lord Pwamang has forgotten is that when he was nominated, some people petitioned Parliament to halt the process. Yet, Parliament chose fairness. Why can’t he do the same for his colleague now?’ he quizzed pointedly.

The Minority Leader also cautioned that the political tit-for-tat culture, where one party justifies questionable actions by citing the other’s past misdeeds, was corroding the nation’s governance. ‘This ‘you-do-me-I-do-you’ politics is not sustainable. We can do better as a democracy,’ he stressed.

Turning to related issues, Mr. Afenyo-Markin said the Minority would soon raise preliminary constitutional objections to the committee’s recommendations and challenge the legality of the process in Parliament and the courts. ‘Whatever approach we take will be in the national interest,’ he assured.

He also touched on other governance matters, including the state of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), national security in Bole and Bamboi, and stalled infrastructure projects under the government’s Agenda 111 initiative.

On ECG, the Minority Leader called for bipartisan cooperation to reform the utility company, arguing that inefficiencies and waste, not tariffs, were the real cause of financial strain.

‘You cannot just burden Ghanaians with a 14% increase while the wastage remains. Let’s focus on reforms, even if it means limited private sector participation,’ he proposed.

Addressing the recent conflict in the Savannah Region, he urged the Minister for the Interior to brief Parliament on government interventions following deadly clashes that left 31 people dead and displaced over 50,000 residents.

Mr. Afenyo-Markin, in his concluding remarks, called for a renewed spirit of fairness and accountability across institutions, warning that the ‘reset’ of state institutions must be managed carefully to avoid undermining democracy.

‘There is always a tomorrow. Let’s not destroy the foundations of justice today and expect stability tomorrow,’ he stated.

It has been three days since former President Nana Akufo-Addo hosted the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer aspirants to a breakfast meeting at his Nima residence.

The meeting could not have been organised out of the blue; it was occasioned by some occurrences on the party’s landscape.

The NPP, since five leading personalities of the political grouping announced their intention to bid for the flagbearer position of the party, has been bedeviled by mudslinging and acrimony largely fueled by supporters of the individuals and lately the flagbearer hopefuls themselves.

In some instances, the flagbearer hopefuls have treaded the dangerous path of ethnic and religious bigotry. We and other Ghanaians sitting on the peak and seeing into the political horizon wonder whether those in this reckless mood appreciate the implication of this national security risk. If they don’t or cannot fathom where it can lead the country to, then they of course are unfit to present themselves as flagbearer hopefuls let alone dream of leading the country.

In the past few months, social media has been awash with the trading of insults by supporters of the individual flagbearer hopefuls.

In a previous commentary, we expressed surprise that four of the aspirants but one had ganged up against Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia; he being the target of the ethnic and religious bigotry.

We did refer to the sense in Dr. Kwame Nkrumah’s enactment of the Avoidance of Discrimination Act of 1957 which outlawed the creation of political parties along regional, ethnic or religious lines.

If so many years after that legislation some political leaders would prefer plying that tangent, then they are longing for a return to the darks days of non-avoidance of discrimination and hate speech.

Be it as it may, former President Akufo-Addo of course not happy about the acrimonious campaign going on in his beloved party brought the flagbearer hopefuls together with a view to demanding a campaign bereft of acrimony and mudslinging.

As it is said among the Igbos of Eastern Nigeria, the man who brings people together for a feast does not do so because they are unable to feed themselves, but to achieve a certain goal. The former President, in this case, organised a breakfast meeting to restore sanity in one of the two dominant parties in the country.

It is our hope that now that the former President is done with this audacious assignment, the filth would have been cleared from the stable. Attention would be riveted on the players as they traverse the constituencies with their messages to see whether the former President’s word was positively impactful.

Let each one of them tell the delegates what they have up their sleeves and avoid the dangerous path of trading acrimonies.

The interest of the NPP and Ghana for that matter supersedes the parochial interests of individual personalities seeking to lead.

Ghana’s former First Lady, Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, has passed away at the age of 76.

She died at the Ridge Hospital in Accra on Thursday, October 23, 2025.

Nana Konadu was a pioneering figure in Ghanaian politics and a champion of women’s empowerment, best known for founding the 31st December Women’s Movement.

She was also the first woman to run for president in Ghana in 2016, representing the National Democratic Party (NDP).

Her legacy as a strong advocate for women’s participation in governance and public life continues to inspire many in Ghana and beyond.

A FIERCE gun battle between officers of the Ashanti South Regional Police Command and some suspected hoodlums, has resulted in the killing of two hardened robbers at Offinso Anyankaso.

Among the deceased is Osman Majid, 25, alias ‘Cross’, who has been on police radar for a long time for committing high-profile robberies and also killing three people in the past without being arrested to face the law.

The other deceased suspect has also been identified by the police as 20-year-old Abdulai Sadik. Their bodies have since been deposited at the Bekwai Municipal Hospital mortuary for preservation and post-mortem.

The police disclosed that, Cross, on April 3, 2023, allegedly, used a machete to chop off the four left fingers of 19-year-old, Kingsford Bediako, at Barniekrom near Mankranso in the Ashanti Region.

He has also been accused of killing three other people at different locations in Mankranso in the past, amid other high-profile residential robberies. But despite being hunted by the police, he always managed to escape arrest.

Police Intelligence

According to Ashanti South Regional Police statement, police had intelligence that Cross, who had managed to evade arrest for a long time, was now hiding in three different hideouts with his group of miscreants in Offinso.

Armed with this vital information, three senior officers and other ranks from the Ashanti South Regional Police Command, conducted simultaneous raids in the three identified hideouts on October 1, 2025.

Fierce Gun Fight

But before the police could get closer to Cross, who was hiding at Offinso Anyankaso and arrest him, the dangerous robber, who was armed with a gun, reportedly opened fire on the police officers, while he tried to escape through a ceiling.

The police officers, who are professionally trained to encounter such dangerous situations, also returned fire immediately, which resulted in Cross and Abdulai Sadik being hit by bullets, causing injuries to both of them.

‘An intelligence-led operation was conducted, led by three senior officers and other ranks from Ashanti South Region, comprising four service vehicles (branded and unbranded), simultaneously raided the identified locations.

‘At Offinso Anyankaso, the suspect fired a gunshot from his room and attempted to escape through the ceiling. The police tactically returned fire, and two suspects sustained gunshot injuries,’ the police statement disclosed.

Confession

During interrogation, the police said ‘Cross admitted to multiple robberies in the Manso area and confessed to killing three people at Mankranso. He also mentioned Kingkong, Roy, Fii, Raph, Koboo, Ali and Ike, as his accomplices.’

According to the police report, which the paper has sighted, Cross also claimed that guns which they use for their robbery operations ‘are with Kingkong, Koboo and Ali at a mining site in Manso in the Ashanti Region.’

The police said they wanted to gather more information from Cross and Sadik so they could rely on it and arrest their above mentioned accomplices, who are at large, but sadly they were both declared dead at the hospital.

‘The suspects were rushed to Bekwai Municipal Hospital for treatment, but were pronounced dead on arrival. Their bodies have been deposited in the hospital’s morgue for preservation and autopsy,’ the police said.

The Ashanti South Regional Police Command indicated that, despite the death of Cross and Sadik, ‘An investigation is still underway, and efforts are being made to apprehend the accomplices and retrieve the guns.’

Items Retrieved

The police said they retrieved ‘A pump-action gun with six rounds of ammunition, one black Smith and Wesson pistol, 50 rounds of 9mm ammunition, an unmarked pistol, and two spent cartridges’ from Cross and Sadik.

Further search in the room, police said, ‘revealed three smart mobile phones, two key pad phones, mobile phone accessories, one apple laptop, one machete, a smock and ash singlet with talismans, one black body armour, one brown body armour, and two long boots (desert and black).’

The police also disclosed that, a picture frame of Cross’ gang, a Ghana Card, bearing the picture of suspect Cross and the name Osman Majid and an amount of GHS2,680, were found on the two deceased persons.

Reward Gallant Officers

Meanwhile, residents of Mankranso, Offinso, Manso and other mining areas in the Ashanti Region where Cross and his group conducted their illegal operations, have showered tons of praises on the gallant police officers.

According to them, Cross had been a thorn in their flesh for many years, so the police officers who risked their lives to eliminate him should be promoted by the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno, to motivate other policemen to fight crime.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has begun discussions with the US Embassy and Canadian High Commission to facilitate visa arrangements for Ghanaian football fans ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be hosted jointly by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

The high-level talks, held in Accra, were attended by Technical Advisor to the Minister of Sports and Recreation, Betty Krosbi Mensah, Ghana Football Association (GFA) President and CAF Vice President, Kurt Okraku, and senior directors from both the Foreign Affairs and Sports ministries.

The United States delegation was led by Acting Ambassador Rolf Olson, while the Canadian side was represented by Acting High Commissioner Dennis Roussel.

In a statement posted on his Facebook page, Minister of Foreign Affairs Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa confirmed that the engagements were aimed at ensuring smooth travel processes for Ghanaian supporters.

‘The objectives of these engagements include ensuring there is mutual understanding of all sides on expectations and requirements, enhancing coordination, improving visa facilitation, and developing clear working roadmaps to maximize satisfaction,’ the Minister said.

The meeting also explored the possibility of special visa arrangements for Ghanaian fans, football officials, and the national team – separate from the standard visa application process – to make travel logistics more efficient during the World Cup.

Earlier this month, the United States government reversed its single-entry visa policy, a move that will allow Ghanaian fans to re-enter the US after travelling to Canada and Mexico for matches.

Ablakwa added that a similar engagement with the Mexican Embassy is scheduled for Friday, as part of ongoing efforts to coordinate visa facilitation among all three host countries.

Recently, Ghana’s quintessential ‘national treasure’, the Kente cloth, made international headlines, having been given by UNESCO a ‘uniquely-Ghanaian-so-stay-off, copycats’ protection. At long last!

According to media reports:

Ghana’s iconic cultural fabric, kente, has officially been stamped with global recognition as the nation’s first-ever Geographical Indication (GI) product.

A Geographical Indication is essentially an intellectual property right that ties a product to its roots, guaranteeing that its quality and reputation stem from where it originates.

For producers and communities, this protection translates into stronger brand value and bigger economic opportunities.’

The announcement event, organised by the Registrar General’s Department in collaboration with the World Intellectual Property Organisation, was held on September 30, 2025, at the La-Palm Royal Beach Hotel, Accra.

‘With this recognition, Kente now stands shoulder to shoulder with global treasures like Champagne from France, Tequila from Mexico and Darjeeling tea from India, products so deeply rooted in place and tradition that they are fiercely protected by international law.

‘For Ghana, this means that kente is officially and exclusively Ghanaian, guaranteeing authenticity for buyers worldwide while offering new economic lifelines for local weavers and communities.’

The Geographical Indication Status

As a source further clarifies: ‘Under the GI status, only kente cloths woven using traditional techniques and in approved Ghanaian communities are allowed to use the name, as the law protects Kente as Ghana’s intellectual property. Bonwire, Agotime Kpetoe, and Sakora Wonoo are the towns where Kente is traditionally woven and approved by the Ghana Ministry of Tourism.

‘Only kente crafted in the selected communities may lawfully be sold as kente thanks to the new GI law. Previously, the Ghana Copyright Act of 2005 (Act 690) protected kente styles and designs from being duplicated, however, it was limited in protecting kente from third-party manufacturers.’

Another source, the Hinkro Consultancy, adds that with this recognition: ‘The mass-produced imitations can no longer carry the name ‘kente’.’

Although the coveted recognition happened last month, conceivably the campaign started long ago. It gained momentum in 2024, at a meeting on Safeguarding Intangible Cultural Heritage at the UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, France. There, the then Minister for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Andrew Egyapa Mercer ‘made a call to safeguard Ghana’s intangible cultural heritage further.’ On behalf of Ghana, he nominated kente to be listed on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list.

Congrats to all the successive officials who were involved in the quest; and a big thank you to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation.

The historic, uplifting feat, reminded me of my own Kente story. It was an article I wrote about an embarrassing situation I observed concerning Ghana’s First President, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, during a holiday in the UK in June, 1977, when I visited one of London’s most famous tourist sites.

MY 1977 ARTICLE, ‘The forgotten Nkrumah’:

‘One of the most popular tourist places in London – and indeed the world is Madame Tussauds waxworks museum. It is no ordinary museum, as the name implies.

‘In this museum are life-like wax models of historical, famous and notorious personalities from all over the world. People like the footballer, Pele, the Beatles, novelist Agatha Christie, Emperor Haile Selassie, Muhammad Ali and Adolf Hitler.

‘Some, like President Kaunda of Zambia, are so realistic that one almost speaks to the statues. The realism is helped by the fact that the wax figures are wearing actual clothes of the persons represented – usually donated by the persons themselves or their relatives.

‘Naturally, among the world leaders past and present is the kente-wearing model of the late Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, who certainly needs no adjectives anywhere in the world. However, there is a disturbing factor about the statue of Dr. Nkrumah: it needs a new kente.

‘I believe the statue was made in 1958 and since then the figure has been wearing the same cloth which is on show almost every day of the year, under bright lights. It is no wonder, therefore, that the kente cloth is faded and shabby.

‘According to a Madame Tussauds official, the models are cleaned from time to time and when it is noticed that the clothes are worn, they usually write to the people concerned for a change of clothing, especially where the people live in Britain. She could not tell if such a request had been made about Dr. Nkrumah.

‘In 1974 when Ghana officials in America noticed that the kente cloth Ghana presented to the United Nations was faded, a request was made for a replacement and this was done by the Government through the then Commissioner for Foreign Affairs, Lt-Col Kwame Baah.

‘Likewise, I believe that if the Government had been informed about the situation, Dr. Nkrumah’s cloth would have been changed long ago. I hope that when the change is made, it will please be kept in mind that it should be changed every few years.

‘Apart from helping to keep his memory alive, I can think of no better way to advertise Ghana – the one and only home of the magnificent kente cloth – absolutely free of charge, than at Madame Tussauds where all the world meets.

‘A new kente for Kwame Nkrumah, please.’

(Published in the Mirror, weekly, in the ‘Thoughts of a Native Daughter’ column, on Friday, June 24, 1977.)

I recall that after my publication, a senior official of the Ministry of Information, a Mr. Mensah, assured me that a new kente was being sent to Madame Tussauds. However, I don’t recall any publicity about it.

Therefore, it was gratifying to learn from a Ghana News Agency report, that on September 20, 1999, a new kente cloth, was presented to Madame Tussauds to mark (what would have been) the 90th birthday of Osagyefo. Vice-President, Professor John Evans Atta Mills, ‘made the presentation on behalf of the President, Flt-Lt Jerry John Rawlings.’ So, it was probably a second replacement.

FAST FORWARD TO 2025:

Following the UN recognition, and in line with the Champagne, Tequila and Darjeeling standard, the capitalisation, it appears that from now on we should be writing the word with a capital ‘K’, Kente cloth. Also, as the weavers usually give interesting names to their creations, part of the Kente appeal, that could also be highlighted.

SUGGESTIONS TO THE GOVERNMENT; ATTN. DZIFA GOMASHIE, MINISTER FOR TOURISM, CULTURE AND THE CREATIVE ARTS

As I proposed in 1977, I think it should be official policy that wherever Kente cloth has been donated to an institution, especially one abroad, for public display, every few years, a replacement should be sent, without any prompting from the recipients.

Furthermore, such Kente gifts should have an accompanying inscription stating the name of the Kente and from which town. That would give them deserved credit; and also serve as a good promotion for Ghana, Kente and the town.

Secondly, after achieving the enviable UNESCO protection, shouldn’t we as a people show more respect for Kente, aptly described elsewhere as ‘a national treasure’?

In times past, kente was KENTE, virtually thought of in capital letters, so revered! Its cachet and high-price, meant that it was afforded mostly by chiefs, queen mothers and the super-rich.

Now such is the ‘democratisation’ of Kente that there is what I term ‘Kente abuse’; its disrespectful use. It includes imitation ones from China and other countries; copied designs on some of the ubiquitous ‘Ghana-must-go’ plastic bags and a host of other mundane products.

Most troubling of all, Kente has long been the preferred tablecloth at many official and other functions. To me this is irreverence, even desecration!

Imagine a guest of honour at an event turning up in what they think is a splendid Kente for the special occasion, only to find that the cover on the high table where they are sitting is a Kente!

I recall that years ago, in an article, I applauded the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) for what looked like a custom-made tablecloth for their events, which they had obviously taken the trouble to make very different from Kente. I hope GNAT still sticks to that commendable practice.

Mind you, I speak as an apologetic, converted Kente abuser! In my youth, as a student in a boarding school, I took to school an old piece of Kente cloth I found at home and proudly used it as my bed cover. With hindsight, that was quite inexcusable! Needless to say, my dormitory mates who, like me, didn’t know any better, were quite envious of my special bed decoration!

But as an adult, I formed the strong opinion that Kente deserves to be treated with reverence, not only because it is a superb, handwoven work of art, which UNESCO has now acknowledged, but, equally importantly, because it is uniquely Ghanaian.

Also, although it may be politically wrong, against democratic principles, perhaps we even need a regulation about what Kente should not be used for – starting with a ban on its use as a tablecloth, including imitation Kente!

Furthermore, maybe to complement the GI status, there should be an office dedicated to educating people on the UNESCO recognition, keeping track of necessary donation replacements, and handling all matters related to our unparallelled national treasure, KENTE.
