The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has acquired three special customised four wheel drive vehicles manufactured by the Kantanka Automobile Company.
Taking delivery of one of the vehicles from the company under Apostle Kwadwo Sarfo of the Kristo Asafo Mission of Ghana in Kumasi on Wednesday, the Asantehene advised government to promote the local industry.
He said if it was possible, Ghana should avoid the importation of cars from outside the country and rather help promote and market the local Kantanka cars.
The remaining two of the vehicles, each costing GHC150,000 ordered by the Asantehene would be delivered soon. He said the brand of vehicles manufactured the Kantanka Automobile Company could match-up to any brand in the world.
He said the vehicle under the brand ‘Kantanka Otumfuo’ was his way of encouraging the Apostle and to rally Ghanaians and indeed, the government to patronise the product.
The vehicle is only one of many innovations and inventions the industrialist cum the preacherman has produced in recent times. The CEO of the Kantanka Group of companies, Mr Kwadwo Sarfo Jnr, said the company has instituted measures to replace and repair the vehicle per international standards.
He expressed the hope that Otumfuo’s endorsement would help promote the use of the Kantanka vehicle and make it attractive to Ghanaians to patronise.

A territory ruled by a king or queen is refereed to as Kingdom. The Asantehene not only rule over Territories in Ashanti Region but as far as Territories in the Volta region such as Wrawra, Gyeasikan, etc. Go to Brong Ahafo, you will have territories under Asantehene. Talk about Western Region and it's the same. Like someone said below, you are just an illiterate who can write a bit of English but you don't have the intellectual capacity to make any meaningful Reasoning.
You are just an illiterate who can write some English, that's all ! Must we worry ourselves about some one like you? I don't think so. The Ashanti Kingdom is known worldwide. Even in UK schools, the Ashanti Kingdom is known. When African Tradition is being discussed, no one can bypass the Ashanti Kingdom. You can hate, or cowardly hide on this Platform and speak F00OLISHLY like you are doing but that won't change the Rich Ashanti Kingdom. No wonder till date your people are still serving the Ashanti Kingdom as Domestic Helpers. If you don't know, then pause a minute and think about what goes on in Kumasi. The watchmen, the Kayayes, the carriers of the Ashantis Excretion, the Fufu Pounders, etc. Stop your being Ethnocentric because you don't match the Great Ashanti Kingdom in any way. 1diot.
Why are some Ghanaians deficient in logical thinking and seem to wallow in this quadmire of self denial and do not wish to accept the facts about this so call King of Ashanti -Kweku Dua because the Ashantihene is not a KING per se ; the Ashante hene is a Chief not a KING ; a KING derives his definition from the fact that you rule over various dominions with different tribal backgrounds ; the Ashantehene is overlord over the Ashanti tribe in Ghana; Ashanti is not a nation besides Ashantihene does not rule Ghana and is subjected to the laws of the republic of Ghana ; so to me people should stop this uneducated comments about how important this Ashatehene is ; afterall the KROOKED CHIEF is a ***barred word*** and a 'PIMP' ;to me the comments by brother illiassu are facts besides people have so soon forgotten the muddy disgrace that this so called 'KING' dragged Ashantis through the mud of shame by following Jon Mahama and his brother Ibrahim Mahama ; all that was listed and said about the greedy performance of this AShanti King is correct and if any Ashanti who knows Kumasi should come and comment whether what Illiassu said is incorrect ; this Ashanti so called King is very GREEDY and is involved in many KROOKED enterprise including galamasey ; Kumasi used to be the GARDEN CITY of Ghana today go see Kumasi besides buyimg three Katanka cars is just propaganda by Kweku Dua ; why did not Ashantihene buy these cars when the NDC was in power because he was close to Jon Mahama and easily could have canvanssed for the purchase of number a fleet of these cars by the NDC government ; MAKE NO MISTAKE KATANKA CARS NEEDS TO BE HELPED IN A MASSIVE WAY by the government not the purchase of three cars a complete propaganda 'STUNT' by the Ashanthene to full Ghanaians to full Ghasnaians ;how about the government ordering 50 cars for the government fleet for a start not this three cars casting less that $300,00 besides Ashanti lands does not belong to Kweku Dua as he keeps on piping ; Ashanti lands like all lands in Ghana are held in trust for the people and not a private property to the Ashantehene which means all Ashantis should benefit not the Ashantehene and his close families.
good move for Ghana business. i will also purchase one in the near future.
Be matured and stop these unnecessary comments.Respect each other and seek the kingdom of heaven because these comments can never send you people to heaven.
Well done Nana for showing us the way. Let's support our own so that Ghana will move forward. For those 1diots as ILLIASU commenting below, they are only slaves without even family doing Kayaye so no need to be bothered about him. He wish to belong to such a Kingdom.
Illiasu, be mindful of your utterances. We cherish and respect our King. It is this same king you are castigating who has given or allow you to live on his land in Kumasi. We know you so be very very careful.
