Kumasi, (Ashanti Region) 14 July '99, The Manhyia Palace has said Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Asantehene, did not caution Asantes against superiority complex as reported by the Ghana News Agency and published in the 13th July, 1999, issue of the "Ghanaian Times". A rejoinder dated July 14, and signed by Mr K. O. Boateng, Press Secretary, Manhyia Palace, said, ", nowhere in his admonition did he use words like "Superiority" and "Inferiority", when the Asante Kro Ye Kuo of Madina, near Accra called on him.
"We wish to state that at no time in his interaction with the delegates did the Otumfuo say that.
"Rather what he said was in the form of advice in which he exhorted members of the Kro Ye Kuo to be law-abiding, comport themselves and behave like all other members of the society in which they live."
The Manhyia Palace cautions reporters to endeavour to report on what transpires, whenever Otumfuo sits in conference or meeting, the rejoinder added.
