The Asantehene, Otumfuor Osei Tutu II is set to make a historic visit to Lake Bosomtwe, according to Manhyia Palace sources.
The King of Asanteman is expected to visit the only natural lake in Africa in the company of the US Ambassador, and a high powered delegation.
The visit follows a report by Akoma FM to the effect that activities of some private developers were posing a risk to the lake.
Investigation by the Akoma FM news team in March revealed that a private developer had felled and destroyed over 500 trees planted at Pipie, one of the 21 communities surrounding the lake, a situation authorities say is in sharp contrast to bye-laws of the local assembly and environmental agencies.
The Otumfuor is expected to assess the situation for himself and make consequent decisions.
Security has since been beefed up around the Area in anticipation of the overlord’s visit.
