<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>The Goaso Traditional Council has stirred national discussion after announcing a mandatory GHS50 levy per household to support the funeral rites of the late Goasomanhene, Nana Kwasi Bosomprah.</strong></p>



<p>The directive, which covers every home within the Goaso traditional area, was met with mixed reactions, particularly after a video about the decision went viral.</p>



<p>While some locals see it as a cultural obligation to honor a revered leader, others have expressed frustration, citing economic hardship and questioning the fairness of the flat-rate charge.</p>



<p>Critics online compared the move to council tax in the UK, arguing that such funds should instead support essential services like waste management and infrastructure.</p>



<p>Others called the amount excessive, suggesting GHS10 or GHS20 would have been more appropriate and accessible.</p>



<p>Despite the backlash, the traditional council insists the contribution is necessary to give the late chief a befitting farewell rooted in custom and tradition.</p>



<p>The debate has reignited wider conversations on transparency, tradition, and the financial burdens placed on citizens by local authorities.</p>
