The Ghanaian Voice in a banner headline story, quotes sources close to Asanteman as saying that the 4 million cedis the paramount chiefs, who

Visited the Castle grudgingly accepted from President Jerry Rawlings, will be given to charity.

The paper says as at now the chiefs are debating what sort of charitable institution the money e given to. According to the paper, this twist of events had been occasioned by the ?insults the President and his staffers heaped on the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and his ?Amanhene? who called at the Castle on Friday June 18, to express their gratitude to the government for its assistance during the death and burial of the late Asantehene, Otumfuo Opoku Ware II.
