Kumawuman in Full Swing.

Saanaahene and Saamaahene Sooner in Court

"In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his course succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot"------Mark Twain


I am more determined than ever before to pursue with zeal and vim my set definitive New Year resolutions. My priority is to delve deeper into the issues of Kumawu Chieftaincy affairs; how best to secure a quick solution to the impasse where enstooling a new chief has become a thorny issue. As a true patriot without blemish, regardless of the insane insults and destructive criticisms heaped on me by the agents of nation wreckers as reflected in their comments on my writings on Kumawu, I shall be more than invigorated to keep my hopes and spirit up to fight the good fight until victory is won for the intimidated, humiliated and silenced poor Kumawuman citizens. How absolutely absurd it is for an individual overtaken by greediness for power, fame and wealth to believe that she wields the authority to dictate her wishes to the once cowered inhabitants of Kumawuman?


In the year 2008, I will advise any Kumawuman citizen, wherever you happen to be, to join hands with the Popular Progressive Movement desirious to ensuring the implementation of fairness, corrupt-free policies and installation of the "People's Chief", to the Kumawu paramountcy. It is a total disgrace for some lady to believe that by splaying or spreading out her legs to people in higher positions in the civil service, the Police Force and then the traditional rulers can earn her heart's desire to impose her nasty choice of candidate on Kumawuman. She must be hallucinating! As I always say, she can put her body to any use but to do so in the hope of getting her clients to do her dirty tricks for her will backfire on them. The first time she offered herself to a King, then to the No.1 person at Prudential Bank, then to one Prince Wabo, the dreadful police "Striking Force" Commander, then to the Mampong Divisional police Commander etc. The list goes on and on.


Like a lady chimp, she goes about fist-punching her chest without shame saying she will use the Police Force and her libidinal connections to install her choice of candidate, one Medical Practitioner Sarfo, an absolute puppet, as the next Paramount Chief of Kumawu. She will never realise this dream of hers as long as we the progressives live. Who is this Sarfo? Where does he come from? Who are his parents? Can our dear pugilist "Lady-Tyson" answer the questions? Kumawuman no longer needs strangers who are not only callous but corrupt beyond description to rule them.


The Kumawu Kontirehene has been promised a car and a house by the shameless queen who thinks she can manipulatively use him to gain her heart's desire. This Kontirehene and his mum feed from the queen's table every morning. If for their selfish gratification they think to take Kumawu for a rough ride, then they have got it all wrong. Will Kumawuman be happy to stay put in slavery, deprived of everything all because of myopes, non-performing and corrupt rulers of whom the queen and Kontirehene are "Chief Lieutenants"?

The queen, who is rather the descendant of the analogical biblical Hagar, is calling the descendants of the biblical Sarah slaves; the descendants of Barima Tweneboa Kodua are slaves who cannot ascend the Kumawu paramountcy, she asserts with confidence. This lady is a ticking time bomb catastrophe ready to implode but not explode. She thought to be wise when she was offered a long rope, a free unrestricted access to the resource of Kumawuman. Instead of using such access judiciously, she rather abused it. Her unwittingness has got the rope into a noose to hang her up. This is quite laughable. She has now become a laughing-stock, offering herself and money to people just in case she can be spared of the humiliation of not getting her choice of candidate installed.


Questions one may require answers to:


* Why is she, the descendant of the fake but incorporated royal, turn around to accuse the true royals as slaves?


* Why is she boasting about those people she sleeps with in the hope of influencing things in her favour? What a sycophant?


* Why is she hell-bent on getting that Dr. Sarfo, an unknown guy, as the next paramount chief?

* Why has she promised that stooge, the Kontirehene, a car and a house if she has not intended to deplete the coffers of Kumawuman as she once secretly confided in someone in Canada?


* For all the 18 years on the throne, what good has she done to Kumawuman that confers absolute right upon her to force her choice of candidate on Kumawuman though the people are not in favour of such a move?


* Is it not silly on the part of anyone to think she can force her candidate on the subjects simply for been bequeathed such authority by tradition, even though her choice is nauseating?


* Why is the queen making back and forth trips to President Kufuor, Hon. S.K. Boafo, the Minister for Culture and Chieftaincy Affairs, as well as incessantly seeing Odeneho Agyapong Ababio, the President of the National House of Chiefs, all in the hope of getting them persuaded to support her evil intentions? Fortunately, her wrinkled body has not been appealing to them. They are men who can smell an evil person from a distance and then shun him or her?


I challenge her to prove beyond reasonable doubt that she is rather not the one who is not a genuine but fake royal. I challenge her to deny that she has not connived with the Kontirehene, promising him a car and a house should the now "Kalabule" Kontirehene help her install that puppet as a chief? The queen has her bulge eyes on Kumawuman coffers. As corrupt as she is, she has been promising all those she is soliciting one thing or the other should her candidate be assisted to ascend the throne. It is either sex or money offer. She will never get her wish. Her days on the throne are numbered. Kontirehene will not only be kicked out of office but also be imprisoned shortly, for fraudulently authorising the withdrawal and disbursement of Kumawuman funds among the queen, himself, Sanaahene, Kwame Tawiah and Samaahene, Osei Kwame. His action is reminiscent of "Yate Asem", when the late Barima Asumadu Sakyi II embezzled funds under similar circumstances.

The next good news to announce to Kumawuman citizens the world-over is Sanaahene and the Samaahene would have been served a writ to appear in court, by Wednesday, 9 January 2008, for fictitiously withdrawing money from Kumawuman accounts. Though the Kontirehene claims his share of the money is intact, he is still implicated in the crime and this will be the vemon that will send him away to prison squealing like a pig. Can the queen save him when this does happen? I hope not, though, she will attempt to offer something as it is known of her. What can that be? Your guess is as right as mine.


Kumawuman, arise to defend yourselves from the self-imposed corrupt queen who thinks she can continually dip her hands into the Kumawuman coffers to live her spurious life. She will cough out any government loan she has dubiously taken without ever being granted access to Kumawuman funds. She should cut her coat according to the size of her cloth. Her chances of fooling Kumawuman by installing the candidate of her choice to be able to access Kumawuman funds are very slim. She is desperately pulling all plugs but to no avail. That is a real bitter lesson to her. It serves her right. She funnily goes telling people that should Kumawuman refuse her candidate, she will do as the queen of Effiduase who has for the past 25 years combined both the chief and the queen’s seats. This will never happen in Kumawu. She is playing with fire and the very fire will burn her.
