Chiefs want Attipoe’s transfer rescinded

Some members of the Greater Accra House of Chiefs have appealed to the Ministry of Chieftaincy and Traditional Affairs to rescind the transfer of Mr Harry Anthony Attipoe, Registrar of the House, to the Volta Region.

Paramount Chief of Ningo Traditional Area, Nene Kanor Attiapa III, speaking on behalf of the chiefs, said it was wrong for the Ministry to ignore their appeal to maintain Mr Attipoe as Registrar of the Greater Accra House of Chiefs.

Nene Attiapa added that members of the House did not understand why the registrar was transfered without any good reason.

He made the appeal on Thursday at Dodowa in the Greater Accra Region during the induction of Nene Adergon Animile VI, Osudoku Chief, into the House of Chiefs.

He reminded the Ministry to respect their plea as according to him, the sector Ministry would not exist without traditional leaders and chiefs.

According to him, Mr Attipoe has helped resolved numerous Chieftaincy conflicts in the Region and stated that there was more work for him to do in the Region.

Nene Attiapa therefore urged the Ministry to give the registrar another chance to complete his works in the Greater Accra Region.

He however warned that the traditional leaders were prepared to embark on demonstration and petition the President on the issue should the Ministry ignore their plea.

Mr Harry Attipoe, who was also the registrar of the Kpone Traditional Council, was transferred to the Volta Region by the Ministry after series of agitation from the youth of Kpone.

Nene Abram Kabu Akuaku III, President of the Greater Accra House of Chiefs, congratulated the people of Osudoku for successfully installing a chief without any conflict.

Nene Akuaku advised the people to continue to give the needed support to the new chief to ensure rapid development in the area.

He also urged the Chief not to engage in acts that would result in chaos and misunderstanding in the area but rather consult his people on issues.
