  Have those politicians finished taking care of basic responsibilities.
  
  We live in a nation where,
  1. unemployment is always high
  2. Indigenes dont make money but foreigners come and make gazillions
  3. Galamsey is threatening the health of the nation
  4. Corruption everywhere that it appears normal
  5. Inflation is always all over the play
  6. Basic education k3k3 is a struggle
  7. Galamsey is killing your people
  8. ohhh we have useless banks who lack vision and are spineless
  Yes I said galamsey twice CUS it should be declared a NATIONAL EMERGENCY and labelled a THREAT TO THE STABIITY OF THE NATION
  
  YET
  these politicians want to dive into Chieftaincy issues. What is the end game?? So what the queen mothers will come do what??
  
  We deeply respect the queenmothers and appreciate the stability they bring to the institution. Fact is they are the cornerstone of the peace and beauty that we see in our traditions.
  
  Let no filthy, corrupt politician come mess it up!!!
  
  8.
  the list can go on and on

  It is rather Ghana's weakness, NOT strength, lies in the plurality of custom!!! Nkrumah was right to remove authorities from the chiefs we should have built upon that and not reverse in any way at all.

  There a lot to address in Ghana. Don't bring your dirty polities and Corruptions into our Chieftaincy issues. If you have nothing to do, pack off bags and go back to your homes.

  The Regional House of Chiefs, National etc all came about because of the 1960 consitution.
  There were numerous Kingdoms in Germany, Italy, India etc . Today, they all exist as one Unitary State. The descendants of all the forner Kings and Maharajahs etc all live humbly in their various countries as citizens. Nobody in Ghana voted for Asantehene or Ya Na to run a parallel govt as to what parliament does.
  If the elected and legitimate govt of the Republic of Ghana, want to establish "House of Women" or whatever, they can. As long as Parliament votes for it. Asantehene's opinion does not matter. In the grand scheme of things, he is just an ordinary citizen of the Republic of Ghana and, he knows that.
  We should stop fawning over Asantehene, he is not a King neither does he have a Kingdom within the Republic of Ghana in 2025. And tthat is a fact without apology.
