Dr. Frank Amoakohene explains cultural significance of customary clothing at vetting Committee hearing
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

During his appearance before the Parliamentary Ministerial Vetting Committee, Dr. Frank Amoakohene, the Ashanti Regional Minister designate, provided a detailed explanation of the cultural significance behind his attire, highlighting its symbolic ties to the Ashanti region’s rich heritage and values.

As a proud Ashanti man, Dr. Amoakohene began by acknowledging the presence and support of traditional leaders, his parents, and the good people of the Ashanti Region, expressing gratitude for their encouragement.

He stated that he selected his traditional carefully designed cloth for the occasion because of its cultural importance and the message it conveys about his heritage and commitment to leadership.

The Minister designate described the intricate details of his custom-made cloth, which featured unique embroidery and symbols of profound cultural meaning.

Central to the design was the “porcupine”, a symbol of strength and vigilance. Dr. Amoakohene explained that the “porcupine ” represents a man who remains ever-alert and ready to defend and promote the well-being of the community.

He likened this to his father’s unwavering dedication to safeguarding and advancing strategic initiatives for the collective good, emphasizing that such qualities inspire his own approach to leadership.

Dr. Amoakohene further elaborated on the cloth’s association with Ashanti traditions, noting that it reflects wisdom, resilience, and loyalty.

The Adinkra symbols embedded in the fabric, he stated, represent wisdom, strength, and the unity of purpose necessary for effective leadership.

The choice of colors in the cloth was also deliberate, with each shade carrying a specific significance. He explained:

Green symbolizes the lush forests and natural resources of the Ashanti Region.

Yellow represents the wealth and prosperity of the Ashanti region.

Black signifies the unity, color and strength of the black stools that brought the Asante Golden stool in procession of Asante King Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.

“These elements remind us of our cultural identity, the need for resilience, and the importance of loyalty to our region and the nation as a whole,” Dr. Amoakohene said.

He also further explained the symbolic connection of the cloth design to the Asantehene’s authority, explaining that the black in particular symbolizes the stool on which the Ashanti King sits, a unifying symbol of power and tradition.

Dr. Amoakohene assured the Committee of his commitment to upholding the values of the Ashanti Region and working tirelessly to ensure its development.

His culturally significant attire, he noted, serves as a reminder of the weight of responsibility he bears as a representative of his people.

The Vetting Committee commended Dr. Amoakohene’s eloquent explanation and cultural pride, with his remarks resonating as a strong testament to his dedication to leadership rooted in tradition and respect for heritage.
