Honestly, this shows our forefathers practiced democracy. The concept b)nkum and nyinfa wings in the council shows kabi-ma-menkabi in our tradition.
Africa is indeed civilised before the Caucasians.

So are we running a democracy or chieftaincy? We cannot run two parallel authorities. We better choose one and get rid of the other.

Let's respect our traditional institutions. No one deserves the right to be insulting chiefs, even when they are wrong.
There are traditional means to bring to line any chief who misbehaves.

Their preferred candidate, Alan did not win. That is the source of their beef. They said they went to the flagstaff to see the president and the president wasn't there, so they preceded to see the VP and then they were asked to go, no dont go there, pass bla bla. You think the presidency is Kajetia market? If you wanted to see the president, why didn't you book an appointment? The whole thing is a set up to be NPP and Bawumia look bad

@Water yaw! You absolutely nailed it. This is how my folks are? They know how decent a man Dr Bawumia is, but for the sake of his Moslem faith? Some of these Cantankerous corrupt sub-chiefs, will rather accept a lazy Alan Kyeremanteng, and that other corrupt stinking mouth-breather Kennedy Agyapong before looking at Bamumia. Shame on all of them.. I am ashamed to admit that they are tribesmen!!

Look at the Ashantis who formed a new party against Nkrumah for not increasing the price of Cocoa but are now sitting for Wuntumi to destroy water bodies and looking on at their NPP to give all our resources out for loans that are just wasted.

BUT Frog Ampaw and Wontumi are also on the same level with the chiefs. Frog Ampaw can stoop so low to lick the contaminated boots of Flatutating Wontumi a stark illetrate . The ashantes have handed over the NPP on a silver platter to the akyems because of stupidity and greed and selfishness. They cant touch Flatulence or ?

It means many radio stations in Accra will be close down. Accra people should wake up, it must be compulsory for every radio station in Accra to GA to their programs and not Twi alone. GBC broadcast more than 5 languages on their stations. When you go to Ashanti region how many languages do they speak on their radio stations. They come to Accra and insult the president anyhow and nobody talks but in Kumasi you will call for disrespecting the chief is Ghana for the Ashantis

Finally, the time has come for Ntumi to meet and face his size..... the empty bluff and loose talk by him is over. We are all hoping that he will be brought to book and disciplined accordingly.

The chiefs on behalf of Otumfuor are right to express their indignation. However, they should vent the indignation within context; given that the Otumfour has once made the statement that some of his chiefs are involved in the sale of land for illegal mining. So the chiefs should not be behaving like they are innocent of the allegation by Maurice Ampaw. Finally, this matter raises legitimate questions about freedom speech and the extent of chiefs’ power to ban people.

Just look at those standing there wearing T-shirts, the delegation was so disrespectful to the Manhyia Palace. They don't have any respectable person in their party.

The problem at hand is very serious and the result of this case will be very grave for Wontumi and all he represents. We have to bear in mind of being guilty by association. The NPP has to be very careful in this matter. This NPP should not forget the role the Chiefs of Asanteman under the leadership of The Late Nana Bafuor Akoto played in establishing The NLM which formed the main Vanguard of the then UP. Unfortunately it looks like this NPP has been hijacked by certain characters which has rendered the very Decent and well meaning members rather politically impotent. The party should not try to commit sucide.

Ashanti Traditional Council now have the best opportunity to show all that get up and disrespect Otumfuo that, no amount of Money, Presidency power can override the powers of Otumfuo. Wontumi should be published and even if possible banished from Ashanti Kingdom for disobedience shown to reputation of Otumfuo.

WGoku,what on earth are you talking about?You sound like you have been smoking too much of the “wacky baccy”.
No chief,king etc is more powerful than the President.
Please remember Ghana which includes the Asante Region has a National Parliament which passes laws. In as much as I respect the Ashantehene,he really does not have any powers to make any laws.Neither can he banish anyone from any part of his region.Not even the President can banish anyone from any part of the country. Otumfour is a tradional leader just like any other. Just ask yourself why he has not been able to ban galamsey in his area of influence.
Let us stop all the unnecessary fancy talks and face reality.

I think if the Ashante traditional council has the effontary to call wuntumi for contempt then supreme court should wakeup and save this country from injustice and stupidity of the land.i don't get this trash, which country will one be so powerful than its Republican judiciary laws to have that effontary to say when he speaks no supreme court or any court can overturn it. Is he bigger than Ghana or we have admitted to worship one paramount chief in Ghana among all the tribes and regions in Ghana of which Ghana is no longer a Republican state .Tell me which country will you see this. Otumfuo should tell Ghanaians if Ghana. Is now a monarch state.I tell if they try to do any silly thing to Wontumi I will file a petition to international court of justice to give interpretation to this stupidity happening in Ghana and our leaders are quite to speak to such injustice.Who gave otumfuo power to sur on a person who has the right to share his opinion as a citizen of this country.Ghana Bar Association wake up to this foolishness. Civil society wake up to this foolishness

The Porcupine has finally rediscovered it‘s quills and it is beginning to use it. The Wontumi saga is a classic example of unchecked power and the dangers it can bring to a community. Maurice Ampaw is another unfortunate sad ranting of a person who is supposed to know better. By his own admission chiefs have been destooled for the very crimes he was complaining about so why embellish a whole institution. You have them by the tails don‘t turn them loose.
This brings is to the second most important issue facing most communities in the Ashanti region. That is the desecration of the water bodies of which Wontumi is the kinpin. Responsible mining should be encouraged or such activities should be shut down.
On the question of shutting down Wontumi TV/Radio, l would suggest a boycott. Let‘s hit him in the pocket and see how long Maurice Ampaw can stay loyal to Wontumi.
Ashanti region and Kumasi in particular has had some very successful business men/women but nothing in the likes of Wontumi. As for lawyers Ashanti can boast of numerous and Maurice Ampaw does not come close. Let The Porcupine use it‘s Quills.
