Perspectives
Since I have a co-author with whom I have worked for a long time in a variety of fields, writing this piece was a real pleasure. This study gave us the opportunity to speak with a variety of kingmakers directly and explain their many duties within Ghana's traditional system of leadership, which is highly respected by the people.
