The statement said the expansion of the socio-economic development of Asanteman culminated in the establishment of the Otumfuo Charity Foundation, which would improve on the lives of Ghanaians through the implementation of the values, vision and ideas of the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.

It said the Otumfuo Lottery was aimed at raising substantialfunds to support the Otumfuo Charity Foundation to undertake development initiatives in the area of infrastructure, Education, Quality Healthcare Delivery and the Preservation and Promotion of Cultural Heritage.

According to the statement, the Asante Monarch also fully embraced the laudable NLA-Private Sector led Solar-powered e-kiosk Project, which concept would be implemented across the Ashanti Region hopefully by the end of this year.
