Adofo again? Rockson, please give us peace. You don't seem ever to get tired with your animosity towards the Asantehene? You must be a paid clerk of some feuding illiterate group - their champion. And yet you have a very weak scholarship; you may not be aware of that. They hired a poor clerk, indeed. An obnoxious one.

I am not an Ashanti hence I speak with an open mind expressing my opinion. It is not taking sides in any conflicts but objectively comment on the utterance of Otumfuo Osei Tutu. I believe the specific utterance by the Asantehene being disputed was taken out of context; because he made that remarks in reference to the prevailing Kumawu kingship conflict but not in regards to the powers of the Ghana judicial system

The Asantehene cannot be arrested in Kumasi for committing any crime.Asantes say he is infallible,and cannot be criticised under no circumstance.Even the most educated Asante has this bizarre 14th century mindset.I am not in favour of Adofo's numerous and unnecessary articles about Asantehene but it is a fact that ASANTEHENE is above the law.WHITEMAN'S Democracy is meaningless even to the most educated ASANTE.This is the plain truth.

Ghana practices democracy and monarchy. You can check the facts online. Read about the Ashanti Empire. More than half of Ghana belongs to the then Ashanti Kingdom. All Chiefs are still under his command up till date. It will surprise you to know how many Ghanaians will rather prefer to settle a case in court rather a chief's Palace. They're just and ruthless at the same time. Attacking Asantehene on any level of disagreement will bring the country to it's knees. We wouldn't have these people in BA messing around if the Chiefs were to exercise total control of the situation. To the extent that police had to run anyway and leave their office. Ghanaians don't take democratic leaders seriously. Let that GMA guy mistakenly call any chief or member of Palace an idiot...and see if he wouldn't disappear with no questions asked...Asantehene still has the power to disassociate the Ashanti Kingdom from Ghana if he wants...all the natural resources fall within the territory anyways

I don't believe that the statement attributed to the king is very true judging from the intellectual status of the King.. I believe he was referring to Ashanti kingdom and his people for who in Ashanti can say no if the king says yes ? Does that not make him believe that he is above the law? People who desire to comment on public statements should have commonsense and a firm grip of tradition of the area concerned unless he has malicious intent to paint the person black, However, if it's true that he implied being above the law in Ghana then it says it all about his opinion of the president for he only knows what he did to get mahama to the precedency. They are friends but it is only when the river dries up that we see that not all pebbles at the floor of the river are white.

Mr Adofo please be aware Asante in particular and Pre-colonial African states in general were never absolute monarchies. The kings powers were circumscribed by the great lords of the realms those Obrempongfu were likewise held in check by their subchiefs down to the village level. Are you aware that a chief must be accepted by the people after the electors have settled on a candidate. During colonialism the it was convenient for kwesibroni to ascribe near dictatorial power to Big kings for their indirect rule scheme. There is no Kumasihene the occupant of Manhyia is Primus inter Pares with e.g. Mamponghene & Juabenhene etc. For your info Nana Otumfuo is most powerful when sitting in council with Asanteman Council. Further do you know why the custodian of a certain shrine southwest of Kumasi rarely steps foot in Kumasi? It is part of the procedure to remove an occupant who having been impeached and convicted by the Asanteman council refuse to vacate the throne!!! I find it rather ironic that you claim to be dyed in the wool Osantini and choose to run with coloniast schemes designed to foment division among Asantefu for their nefarious advantage. You may carry on your vendetta with Otumfuor but stop making stuff up!!

is serious a tribal chief asantes are only 10 % of ghana and bragging. Where is the Roman Empire, Greek empire, masa musah Mali, Songhai they are all republic now and ghana is a republic. If there is a king then that shd be president of the council Chiefs for he represent all the 46 tribes and dialect not a nobody asantehene. God love and have saved this nation Ghana by letting the capital in Accra. The Gas don't discriminate nor insults other tribes. They believe we are all Ghanaian. If Ashanti's had the capital they would said the rest of the tribes are their slaves. Thank God for Accra and Nkrumah for a republic. Stolen Techiman stool rename golden stool we all know the history so you can't fool anybody, Komfo anokye did nothing of a golden stool, na lie. Aduana stool at dormaa is sitting on the head of Ashanti king. The akyem a small tribe kill Osei tutu 1 in a war of waters and fishes ate him completely at pra river. We know the anka me nim maa story. The asantes slaves to Denkyires Kings boaponsem and ntim gyarekari. U use the Nkuranza people to steal the Techiman people.

That the Law is no respecter of person is a MYTH. Surely the Asantehene, President, Chief Justice, Army Chief of Staff etc are all above the Law in practice. Leave Otumfuor alone

I am sad to read such article on ghanaweb. It's sad that most ashantis even educated still are ignorant thick . asantehene is only the paramount chief of ashantis and no other tribe. His reign is only in ashanti region so these ignorant and prejudice ashantis can worship him. Brongs and other tribes won't. Ewes , Ga's Fantis and Denkyiras hav no respect for this crook chief. Why do ashantis hav negative mentality ? It's sad. They are not clever and smart too. What is in kumasi after all?

Adofo you stupid buffoon don't start your nonsense. If you have any problem with the Asantehene go to Manhyia and sermon Otumfuor to the elders of his kingdom. Big Ape.

Adofo don't forget that before democracy was introduced , somebody was in charge. Human beings make laws, laws didn't make human beings. So stop talking nonsense and write better articles

Rockson,what he said should never be so but it exist in our part of the world- GHANA,where some people and institutions doesn't know their jobs. There are thousands of people who are indirectly above our constitution.

It is only a miserable, pathetic, and lazy fool like Adofo Rockson who will devote his entire life attacking others with impunity. After failing to bring commotion to the Kumawuman with his verbal retupratives, and out of detain shame is now a critique of what the Asantehene says. How stupid are you? Don't you have a family to work hard and and take care of? You will die in your misery and foolishness while the Asantehene continues to enjoy his kingship and popularity worldwide. GET A LIFE FOOLISH FOOL ADOFO ROCKSON.

This is why Ghana is the way it is. Instead of demanding more from your traditional rulers, many of you come here hailing and deifying some chief somewhere. Look at the entire Asante region and see how much development you need. Your chief's power means nothing if he can't develop the suburbs and bridge the poverty gap. Absolute nonsense talk about monarchy and war, and all the bullshit.
