Kuntu Leadership

Ghana is a democracy blended with African cultures and traditions. Civil issues in the village are governed by tribal chiefs but he (or she!) does not govern alone. Nana Kwesi Brebo, chief of Kuntu III, and Queen Mother Nana Obo Montoa II are assisted by a village council of sub-chiefs and elders who represent the different families or clans in Kuntu.
