Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Otumfuo’s Chief Linguist, Nana Kofi Owusu, has told the leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) led by Justin Frimpong Kodua, that they should bring before the Asanteman Council, the Regional Chairman of the Party, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, aka, Wontumi within one week.<\/b><\/p>\n

The order was a given at meeting held on January 22 at the Manhyia Palace.<\/p>\n

\u201cWontumi should be produced here by next week even if he is on sick bed\u201d he told the NPP delegation.<\/p>\n

Wontumi has been dragged to the seat of the Asantehene for allegedly passing unsavoury comments about Asanteman.<\/p>\n

General Secretary of the NPP, Justin Frimpong Kodua appeared before the Asanteman Council together with the national organiser, Henry Nana Boakye as well as some regional executives of the party to plead on behalf of the Regional Chairman.<\/p>\n

Desist from making sensitive comments against Asantehene \u2013 NPP General Secretary tells members<\/p>\n

However, conspicuously missing was Bernard Antwi Boasiako. Mr Kodua told the chiefs that Wontumi was indisposed \u201cNananom, we could not come with Chairman Wontumi because he has not been well.\u201d<\/p>\n

But, the excuse did not sit well with some of the chiefs.<\/p>\n

For instance, one of Otumfuo’s chief linguists, Nana Kwaku Owusu demanded for a medical report of Wontumi \u201cif you claim Wontumi is sick, where is his doctor’s report?\u201d he queried.<\/p>\n

Mr Frimpong Kodua pleaded for clemency as he was unable to present the doctor’s report requested.<\/p>\n

The lawyer is alleged to have denigrated chiefs in the Ashanti Region in a video which has since gone viral.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose chiefs dragging Wontumi, what has he done to you; have you solved your problems? Listen to me Ashanti chiefs, the kind of things you have been doing against the Asantehene, he is even tired of you…\u201d Lawyer Maurice Ampaw goes said.<\/p>\n

The Management of Wontumi Media has also been summoned by the Asanteman Council for allowing Maurice Ampaw to use their platform to denigrate chiefs in the Ashanti Region.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou allowed Maurice Ampaw who doesn’t know tradition to insult us; we need him here and we will put before him four questions and ask him to translate\u201d Nana Kwaku Owusu said amidst giggling from the audience.<\/p>\n

Chief of Bantama who doubles as the Chief of Kumasi, Baffour Owusu Amankwatia VI chaired the special Asanteman council.<\/p>\n

Sitting was adjourned to Monday January 29.<\/p>\n
