Okyenhene Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin has lamented the rising insecurity and land degradation in his domain. According to him, the deterioration of security in Kyebi started in 2012 when galamsey – illegal small-scale mining – was started in parts of the Eastern Region. He stressed that before 2012, Kyebi was serene and secured but that is no longer the case. 66 years after independence and if you are traveling from Accra to Kyebi or Kumasi then you are frightened because the roads are not good. “So, if the assembly says there is no money and Okyenhene also doesn’t have money then it means that we will suffer, and the people suffer,” he stressed.
