Chiefs are nothing but a bunch of greedy, money/women grabbing, and lawless criminals under the cover of dying traditions.

Ghana would be a better place if this chieftaincy institution is abolished. Apart from the fact that most of the chiefs are corrupt they have become retrogressive over the years competing with democratic institutions for power and in most cases restraining local governments from performing their functions where land acquisitions are concerned. It'd be better if the people deal directly with the elected govt.

Abolish yours because it may be irrelevant, but I'll maintain mine because it's relevant and I'm proud of it.

The chiefs are abandoning their traditional roles of pouring libation and the ancestors are reacting.

We shouldnt allow this woman to milk Ghana. Tell your boss former Minister of Tourism, Zita Sabah Okaikoi who was initially penciled to become Ghana’s High Commissioner to South Africa, going to the Czech Republic that the media are going to meet her upon her return from America for trying to sell Ghana Supply Commission property at Ridge for GHS 80,000.00 for less than its value to FIRST BANK and commissioned an a valuer to value the same property for GHS 79,000.00.
Meanwhile, Four properties belonging to the company was charged for Ghs 4000.00 by a GENUINE valuer.

She had also refused to hand over CEO duties to the new person appointed by the president of Ghana, hence all production are stand still until whenever SHE returns and chooses to handover. How can one person HIJACK a whole Ghanaian company? It is SELFISH or what?
How can this person be fit to represent and serve mother Ghana at the Czech Republic when she is just so incompetent vindictive and milking Ghanaian taxpayers money without accountability. From what we hear she just want to collapse Ghana Supply Company.

May be Zita should leave the government job and run her Z Bar Restaurant and lounge business. PERIOD.

We should just abolish this primitive and backward chieftaincy institution. These so-called chiefs who take instructions from their so-called gods can never be taken serious. Taken instruction from rivers, smelling lagoons, trees, ant hills etc is just a JOKE.

God bless Ghanaians for their beautiful chiefs. I respect the manner they conduct themselves. We respect all chiefs in Ghana. Please, never allow Western Gay to get a root in Ghana. We support you. Never allow their financial support to deceive you. We Ghanaians like our economy rather than taking a help that lead to Gay marriage." trumudie" and "fawo nsa wowo". What a hell and a shame to Western foolish culture.

SOME CHIEFS ARE REDEFINING DICTATORIAL TENDENCIES FOR THEIR ROLES. THEY INHERIT COMMUNAL PROPERTY AND PRETEND IT IS THEIR OWN. THE DEBATE SHOULD GO ON TO INCLUDE WHETHER AKAN CHIEFS CAN CONVERT TO CHRISTIANITY.

I beg to differ. Chieftaincy is an independent institution like the Church. In fact, it is an older institution than the church. Chiefs should not be subject to the constitution of the secular state because the church isn't.
