Acting supporters Chairman of Asante Kotoko in the Eastern Region, Nana Yaw Kumi says he is not excited about the new board of directors constituted by Manhyia to lead the club in the next three years.

On Thursday, a nine-member board of directors headed by Dr Kwame Kyei was announced with the task of restoring the pride of the club.

Dr Kwame Kyei, successful businessmen and sports brains were listed on the committee by the life Patron of Asante Kotoko, Otumfour Osei Tutu II.

However, in an interview with Koforidua based Bryt FM, the Eastern Regional Supporters Chairman Nana Yaw Kumi expressed  his displeasure with Manhyia for neglecting the club’s National Circles Chairman, Christopher Damenya on the Board.

According to him, the supporters should have a representative on the board.

“In fact I wasn’t excited with the board because supporters were left out. I think it could have been prudent for Manhyia to consider our national chairman so that we can also share our views on the board.

“I will plead with Manhyia to get as a representative on the board. For now it is a nine member board and I’m told they will add two more people to it so I think it will be a good idea for Manhyia to consider the fans because we also play a key role in the development of the club,” he said.
