Chiefs, traditional leaders and kingmakers of New and Old Juaben Traditional Areas in the Eastern and Ashanti Regions have successfully held a colourful traditional event to swear in Omanhene-elect Nana Kwaku Boateng lll as the new Omanhene for the New Juaben Traditional Area.

Nana Kwaku Boateng III was ushered into by Gyasehene Nana Twumasi Dankwa in the presence of all divisional, subdivision chiefs, Muslim leaders; the clergy, political and institutional heads.
For the first time in 29 years, the black stool which symbolises the power and authority of the people of New Juaben, came out of the stool room, and Nana Kwaku Boateng III was made to swear to the stool and commit to serve in diligence and in truth.

“I pledge to ensure unity, peace and together in New Juaben and to an extent to Old Juaben, I will use my strength, your help, and expertise to help ensure growth, progress and development in New Juaben. Based on the goodwill, service to mankind and humanity that my forefathers used to rule the good people of Juaben, I pledge to continue same and never turn my back on my people”.
