If Otumfuo Asantehene can build Jubilee Hall alone while govt neglects projects, then there’s a problem – Arnold Asamoah Baidoo

Arnold Asamoah-Baidoo, an entertainment expert, has praised the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, for constructing the ultramodern Jubilee Hall in Kumasi, Ashanti Region.

He remarked that if an individual can take on such a project and fund it on their own, the state has failed to provide adequate infrastructure for its residents.

He expressed worry over why the government has been unable to begin on projects that will highlight the nation’s cultural values while also generating economic money.

“If an individual can solely fund such a magnificent building project [Jubilee Hall] that everyone is impressed with, while the state has been struggling to put up something similar in the last 8 years, then there is a big problem. If we have moved from large theaters to renovating the center for national culture to amphitheatres without making a meaningful impact, then we have something to address.

“If one person can put up a structure that the nation has been unable to do in the last 20 years, then it is problematic,” Arnold told MzGee during the United Showbiz programme aired on UTV and monitored by GhanaWeb.

The pundit went ahead to shower praise on the Asantehene, saying, “Otumfuo should be commended because the cultural exhibition and the artefacts in the building are precious and will benefit the people economically.”

About the Otumfuo Osei Tutu II Jubilee Hall

On April 15, 2024, the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, commissioned a grand hall for the Ashanti Kingdom named after him, the Otumfuo Osei Tutu II Jubilee Hall.

According to manhyiapalace.org, the spectacular traditional yet ultramodern structure includes a 400-capacity cocktail bar, offices, a 2000-capacity completely air-conditioned and acoustically built auditorium, around 60 restrooms, a parking area, and a cutting-edge kitchen.

The Otumfuo Osei Tutu II Jubilee Hall features a 150-capacity car lot and complex. The hall’s interior features intricate classical design details.

For example, the walls include a three-dimensional copy of the Golden Stool, a guy playing the talking drum, and a variety of Adinkra symbols.

At the hall’s commissioning, Juabenhene Nana Otu Siriboe II stated that it will accommodate private Asanteman gatherings, get-togethers, symposiums, cultural performances, and other activities.

He further stated that the hall was named after the Asantehene to preserve the king’s heritage for future generations.

Regarding the project’s finance, the Juabenhene stated that the Asantehene, despite the fact that he could have depended on his sub-chiefs, chose to fund it entirely himself.
