.                        Mr. J. B. Quarshie Rockson   The Korowura of Akyem Quarshie, Mr. J.B. Quarshie Rockson, has raised concerns over what he describes as an attempt by some elders from Asamankese to interfere in the traditional affairs of Akyem Quarshie, as well as alleged intimidation and unprofessional conduct by some police officers.
