Techiman’s Bamire community has become a major draw for political rallies, funerals and large-scale programmes, with the Bamire Conference Hall now widely regarded as the area’s premier event venue. The hall, which seats about 5,000 people, has attracted the attention of the NDC, NPP and other political formations, who regularly hold rallies there because of its capacity and central location in the Bono East Region. Nana said this when celebrating his 12-year enstoolment combined with the yam festival anniversary.
Beyond the main auditorium, the complex includes four mini auditoriums that host weddings, corporate meetings, workshops, and community gatherings, making Bamire a one-stop destination for events of different sizes. Organisers say the availability of multiple spaces on one site reduces logistics costs and makes it easier to coordinate security, parking and catering for thousands of guests.
The Tuntunhene of Bamire, Nana Baffour Asare II, has been a key driver behind this transformation. Under his leadership, the conference hall served as the temporary home of the Bono East Regional House of Chiefs for five years, boosting the profile of Bamire as a venue capable of hosting high-level traditional and state functions. Nana Baffour Asare II has also overseen the construction of a modern palace and the establishment of a hotel branded under the Tuntun family name, further strengthening Bamire’s hospitality infrastructure.
Speaking on the need to plan for the future, the Tuntunhene stressed that land is a finite resource and that leaders must leave a lasting legacy for coming generations. “The lands will get finished; we must invest in structures and services that will outlive us,” he said, according to local reports. This philosophy is reflected in a string of community projects he has initiated or supported.
These include the provision of three police stations to improve security around event grounds and residential areas, a clinic to expand access to primary healthcare, and a technical school that currently enrols about 600 students. In addition, new housing developments in Bamire have been fitted with street lights and 28 water closets (WCs), improving sanitation and quality of life for residents.
With its expanding event capacity and growing social infrastructure, Bamire is fast becoming a model of how traditional leadership, community planning, and private investment can combine to reshape a town’s fortunes in Ghana’s middle belt.
People commended Nana for his outstanding work!
