Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings blamed unsolved chieftaincy difficulties for the area's sluggish development during an interview with Johnny Hughes and Alfred Ocansey on Friday, August 26, 2022, at the forecourt of Oxford Street Mall for the 3FM Unrise in Your Community broadcast.

She observed that chieftaincy issues are driving away investors and developers from the area.

“The basic thing is that there are too many fights that are happening, too many issues within the chieftaincy institution in Osu which are making it difficult for people to bring support because when you come to Osu with the intention of supporting, then they will tell you that the chief is this, or it is this other one†she said.

She further explained that when well-wishers and philanthropists realize that there is no clarity as to who the traditional leaders are, they do not want to be plunged into the chieftaincy issues so they pull back and this affects the community.

“In the case when you have a lot of people who want to support various communities, the difficulty here is that you have an injunction placed on one group, court order placed on the other, and the difficulty of some people being not allowed to go to certain areas during Homowo creates a lack of harmony†Zanetor lamented.

She also emphasized that part of the beauty of Homowo and other festivals is to bring people together and so there is the need to find resolutions to some of these issues within the Korley Klottey Constituency especially in Osu in order to assure people that Osu is ready to receive the support and encouragement of external sources.
