Chief banishes Ahinsan Estate Assemblyman from town

The Assembly member for the Ahinsan Estate electoral Area in the Ashanti region has been exiled from the enclave for disrespecting Chiefs and Elders of the area.

He's been served a notice by the traditional authority to vacate the area within two weeks after a resolution was passed declaring him persona nongrata.

A statement issued by the traditional authorities and communicating the decision against Nana Yaw Wiredu said the member by his deeds is undermining the authority of the Chief and his Elders and also leveled charges of financial malfeasance against him.

“The Assembly member had pocketed an amount of Ghc 15,000.00 out of GHC25.000.00 which was given to him by the Aduana Stool land of Ahinsan purposely for a construction of a bore hole and a public toilet for the community”, the statement disclosed.

The statement indicated the behavior of the assemblyman, is completely at variance with Ashanti custom,traditions,norms and practices, hence the decision to evoke such punishment against him.
