Kente must live

By Solomon Mensah

Kente on display

As he does it on Fridays, this day, 31^st  May, 2013, the spotlight was thrown on Ghana’s Kente.

Nyansa Boakwa, the host of Nsem Pii on Happy FM was very much pitied on the stance of Kente on the market as there is proliferation of it from the Chinese market.

He did not only bashed the Ghanaian politicians for refusing to wear the made-in-Ghana cloth to parliament and put restrictions on that of the Chinese but “gave it” to the youth for terming the wearing of cloth and other traditional apparel as outdated.

Adwen and Paa Kwasi, regular studio contributors to the programme shared similar sentiments. Adwen was quick to add that Kente has a rich value. He explained the meaning of the various colours of the Kente and noted that our fore fathers were very much spiritual as the colours they adopted for the Kente have great spiritual value. Paa Kwasi on the other hand called on the government to safeguard

the rich Ghanaian culture by promoting what the nation has.
