Ewe Lawyer lists 7 ‘strong reasons’ why Otumfuo is bigger than the Constitution of Ghana

A Private Legal Practitioner who hails from the Volta Region, Togbe Kofi Kaka Esq. has listed seven (7) strong reasons why he is convinced Asantehene Osei Tutu II is more powerful than the 1992 Constitution of Ghana.

The lawyer was contributing to current discussions regarding the closure of Oyerepa Radio by the Kumasi Traditional Council.

The radio was ordered closed after the funder and Leader of the United Progressive Party (UPP), Akwasi Addai Odike used their platform to alleged that Ashanti Region Chiefs were directly and indirectly involved in galamsey which was polluting Ashanti river bodies.

In the opinion of the lawyer, people can only make noise about Otumfuo and the Kumasi Traditional Council decision to close Oyerepa Radio but will not go anywhere because of the power of Otumfuo.

Read his full reasons below:

MANHYIA BEYOND THE POWERS OF THE CONSTITUTION.

Show me a law or power higher in practice than the power of Otumfour and Manhyia and I will tell you …you are a hypocrite. Let’s Consider the following…

1. Your presidents, ministers,MPs etc feel more obliged to attend and provide account of works done in Ashanti to Manhyia than are ready to appear before parliament to fulfill constitutional mandate of accountability to the people of Ghana.

2. He stated clearly some time ago that no court can ever overturn a decision he makes on a matter. No state institution or GBA even coughed about it.

3. Even Presidents go to Manhyia organized functions and wait for the arrival of Otumfour. In other traditional areas, the chiefs sit and wait for hours for the arrival of ministers or president.

4. People close to power will tell you that if Otumfour makes a call to “lobby” for a person to be IGP or Chief Justice, it is final .

5. A kumasi Mayor or Ashanti regional minister knows that they were nominated/appointed by the President but their continuous stay in office is subject to being in the good books of Manhyia .

6. It has become increasingly clear that no one can become president of Ghana unless the person gets massive votes from Ashanti region. He is the overlord of Ashanti. He also has paramount chiefs and his chiefs in at least 4 other regions of Ghana.

7. He remains the only Chief who’s title is specifically mentioned and set out as  “primus inter pares” in our chieftaincy Act. Asantehene is the only chief with power to appoint paramount chiefs. He remains the only chief with traditional control over the lands of an entire Region.

So you see the real power the man wields is beyond the letters of your written constitution. Don’t come and pretend that you just realized when an “Oyerepa”has been divorced their listeners by Manhyia. Forget your Article 11 because it fails in the face of “real power”. You can shout freedom of speech and media blablabla but that is where is will end.

Shalom!

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them. Related Posts Quoting a Scripture from Matthew, Papa Shee mentioned that no one should refer to a man as his/her spiritual father because the word speaks against it.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to. A worrying feature of their roads they say is the fact that moving from Samreboi to neighbouring villages and towns become impossible especially during the rainy season hence bringing economic activities to a standstill. Residents say even though the year has been declared “Year of Roads” they are yet to see a kilometre of road being constructed.
