Two elderly craftsmen, Mr. Kwabena Appiah and Mr. Akwasi Adjei, who claim to have designed Ghana’s presidential seat, have expressed feelings of neglect and shared concerns about their dire living conditions.
The duo revealed in a recent interview that they were instrumental in creating the iconic chair used by former President Nana Akufo-Addo during his tenure and now John Dramani Mahama.
Despite their contribution, they allege no recognition or support has been extended to them since completing the project.
One of the craftsmen, now battling health issues, has appealed for financial assistance to manage his medical needs.
Both men emphasized the hardships they face daily, urging the public and government for aid. Their story has sparked debate on the importance of honoring individuals who contribute to national symbols.
Social media users have weighed in, with many calling for intervention to support the two elderly men.
The incident raises broader questions about the treatment of artisans and contributors to Ghana’s heritage.
