Who gave Otumfuo the powers to shut or open a government office. How did he even determine the mismanagement? Where is the audit?

He is not a minister. Some dubious people are disposing off his and his subject's property without his knowledge. He has to do what he is doing. A sign of good leadership. Those culpable should be prosecuted.

That is not a government office. This office is under the jurisdiction of the palace to manage land appropriation and accountability.

have these ppl charged and prosecuted for milking and embezzling the ppl of the region....the office was closed down after management of the facility failed to give proper accountability for the lands they have sold over the years.

Sources at the palace also allege that some officials at the secretariat forced the signature of the monarch in an attempt to sell a parcel of land to some investors after many other lands have been sold to private individuals without the knowledge of the palace.

Otumfou like anyone in Ghana has the right to deal with all forms of corruption.
In this instance, the theft and corruption is being done in his name with his signature being allegedly forged in some of the transactions.
This gives him more powers to shut the place down, investigate the rubbish and all the alleged perpetrators brought to justice and jailed.
It is these same individuals who will go around accusing the Otumfuo of all forms of corruption and embezellement etc., but immediately the Otumfuo starts to get to the bottom of things that he is being accused of, all the accomplices start to put up these rubbish stories and cast insinuations about him.
Shame unto you so-called Odikro and your bloody thieves.

At last some big wig has got confronted corruption and dishonesty.

Now if Otumfour can see it and act then everybody should see it and take action. I think they should take them to court and punish them.

Am not surprised. Sometime ago I paid more than 1000ghc to register a lot of land. 4 years after, I am still waiting for the papers. Land ownership anywhere in Ghana is a joke.

After depleting the pockets of his own kinsmen, he now finds it expedient to dispense with the "secretariat". What objective that boondoggle of an office sought to achieve is still unknown but this chief will go down in history as the most corrupt ruler in ashantis' history. As raked in all the millions from non-descript taxes, etc, Kumasi is left to rot in its filth whilst he drives around in rolls royces et al. Is this a leader???

Di wo fie asem. Ashantis do not need a spokesperson from another tribe, that has no respect for traditional authority. Let Ashantis complain about their King. Ashantis are generally proud of their King, and are satisfied with his rein, in spite of what complete outsiders may say or think. Pay attention to your village or paramount chief - that is, if there is one.

The end game is certainly coming for these imposters who have perpetrated such a gargantuan fraud to gain a foothold in the Palace, and to gain control of that which does not belong to them. This should be a good lesson to all those consumed by 'naked greed'.
Some of us familiar with main 'actors' involved with this shameful mess, are not in the surprised one bit! Remember, God will ever remain a just BEING.

Those who have ears to hear let them hear.The Asantehene is the ceremonial tribal king of Ashanti.Therefore,like all tribal leaders in Ghana,he has no constitutional powers to give any directive to any Government institution.It is the Ashanti Regional minister who as a representative of the President,can give such directives.All those educated fools playing senseless tribal solidarity must wake up and advise their ignorant king.
