Accra (GAR), July 3, Nii Amoo the third, Dzasetse of Otublohum Traditional Area, today appealed to the Ga Traditional Council to enforce the ruling in the Otublohum chieftaincy dispute. He told a press conference in Accra that ever since the government came out with a white paper in 1991 declaring winners in the dispute, the other party has failed to comply with the directives. He said the dispute started in 1988, after the death of the then chief, Nii Amponsah the third. Nii Amoo said one of the sub-chiefs of Pokuase, Nii Otoo Kwami the third was, in accordance with the customary laws, appointed to act until a substantive chief was enstooled. He said when the substantive person, Nii Dodoo Nsaki was later enstooled in 1991, the acting chief and his lieutenants failed to recognised him and resorted to legal action. The Dzasetse said in October 1991, an Accra High Court ruled in favour of the Nii Nsaki. He said the government's white paper and the Ga traditional council's ruling all favoured Nii Nsaki. Nii Amoo said for the past six years Nii Kwami and his men have prevented the new chief from performing his annual rituals at Pokuase. He said such actions have always been reported to the police but nothing has been done.
