Asantehene has not talked since Mahama won the elections. He supports Mahama, but he fears the rough Asante politicians.

If Asantehene is is a regional king, I feel he has all he power talk his mind like the Queen of England, doesn't he? He is feeding fat on the illegal proceeds of Ghanaian gold, including what "is stolen" in foreign land.

What do Kibi people and their land have to contribute to Ghana's wealth? Palm-wine and lazy males who do no go to farms, but sit under tree shades playing games and drinking anything.

The three Northern regions are capable of feeding the whole Ghana with grains. Are we not aware of this? Yes, we are!

My advice goes to the various chiefs
not to sell their Good reputation in
exchange for this scanty money,but
rather pray to THE Almighty GOD for the court case which is still pending
so that the truth comes out to benefit
the whole nation but not a small group
of people in Ghana.Infact,what type
of suppose president is this.Is he
realy a christian?The reason is,he is
trying to glorify himself instead of
given glory to God.

What a danger this is. For Chiefs to be paid. Where would you draw the line. I am a chief and I am living in the United States and visit occasionally. And you are going to pay me? They are going to be lazy. marry too many wives, eat and drink. That is all. This a waste of the country's resources. We cannot get money to run free secondary school but can pay chiefs. What about the stool lands that they have inherited. It is by the land that they have inherited that they make use of for businesses so they can earn their own income. Paying the chiefs are simply the abouse of power of the Executive branch of the government. This is insane and it must stop.
