ASSIN STATE AND KENTE WEAVING

Assin is the Municipality in which I work as a minister of the gospel in Ghana , and KENTE is our native and locally- made cloth which is being admired by the Presidents of the nation, our kings, Government Ministers and members of Parliament, and other prominent men across Africa, U.S.A, etc.
Assin State has been in slumber over the years. Our hman, material and nayural resources have been used to develop other areas without due recognition. Our antural resources, Gold, Diamond, Sand and Stone, Quarry, Cocoa, Cassava, Citrus, Rice and plantations taken away from Assin to support other parts of the country, but Assin remains a poor

The most ugly side is the Assin Kente production. We can boast of 70% of pure Kente on the Ghanaian market today are from Assin State. We count about One Thousand, five hundred (1,500) people in Assin Kente production in Assin.

The retailers from all over the country buy the Assin Kente at cheap prices and only rename it and resell them at at high prices elsewhere.

Leaders of Assin are doing everything possible to change this trend for Assin to take credit for its human and material resources. "Yes they can".
