Just look at the open display of arrogance and disrespect towards our traditional leaders. The fool of a bodyguard gesturing disrespectfully calls himself the chief of Alajo yet lacks traditional protocol. Akufo Addo goes to other regions to openly look down on the chiefs and elders but won't try that foolishness in Kumasi or Kyebi. The kind of vagabond we've as an executive president beats my imagination.

By law, nobody can force his neighbour to get up to greet him, in the same way, no one sitting down can force another person to greet him. That would be against their human rights. Some things are done freely out of traditional and cultural etiquette, without which one would be considered disrespectful but they cannot be enforced. The president can't force a chief to get up in the same way a chief force a president to greet him.

Constitutionally, the President is right. He is not just the Head of Government; he is also the Head of State. He is above all authorities, including traditional authorities. By that design, even paramount chiefs should stand for him. It was arrogant on the part of that sub-chief to sit. On the other hand, we have seen the President bow to Otumfuor, the Okyehene and one of the major chiefs in the Volta Region. Does that mean he only respects politically significant chiefs?

You cannot force a chief to get up to greet you, whether it is disrespectful of the chief or not. If that chief refuses to get up, by law, nobody can force him to do so. This is not the first time a chief has been ordered to stand up in the prescence of this president. It is wrong. Even the national anthem, you can't by law, force anyone to stand up for it if he doesn't want to. Besides, you don't know if the person has a health problem resulting in that or not.

Very good if he did that. These chiefs have no respect for authority. Remember by tradition, you bow and greet a chief at his place not in a public events where he has no authority. The President is the authority of the land, apart from the a chief palace, anywhere a chief meets the President of the land - you the Chief rise and greet the President.

Because in Ghana, there's very little education about these, you'd think Akufo Addo was acting out. No, he is the authority at that moment, the chief rises and show obeisance.

In Ghana, we only talk about irrelevant issues. Currently, the sun is burning us to death. No one is thinking of converting this free energy to cool ourselves. Listen to what we are talking about. Even if you don't respect someone as an individual, we must respect the position they occupy. Nothing wrong.

Thank God I'm not that chief......the gods of my ancestors may not spare me for obeying instructions from a visitor at the presence of my subjects. Let's give to caesar what belongs to caesar. Above all respect is earned not forced......he wasn't born a president, people made him one, he supposed to be a servant for the people.

I support the President on this one. Morally and in the right way of doing things in civilized world. It's wrong to greet your fellow man with hand shakes while sitting down. It's primitive and kind of low self esteem. When a man wants to shake a man he is expected to stand up while shaking another man who was already standing. That's the right way of doing things. The president is an international personality. He met no disrespect. He is just being advanced in reasoning. This has nothing to do with party. Ask fellow NDC members they will know he did what was right by telling them to stand up before hand shake. Let's learn to have character and know how to behave and not act local in the midst of great people. This is a lesson to us all. When someone is standing greeting you with a hand shake it's wrong for you to sit down. Even the president himself, when he is greeting people he stands up. Ghanaians should open eye

Instead of ordering the minister for energy to solve the ecg problem, here you are ordering royals to get up to greet you. Are you better than them? If you are man enough or such a big man, when the asantehene summons you to come and see him at his Palace with in six hours, tell him you can't or you are busy. You know very well that the asantehene can order you to solve the the ecg problem in the entire country within 48 hours. And you gladly obey him. cease with the dumsor dumsor forever. Expect a summon from the asantehene soonest. Or the national chief imam. Because it evidently clear that you neither regard nor respect the citizens of this country. Maybe you can order the royals in the capital. But certainly not the asantehene.

If you cannot ask Asantehene or Akyemhene to stand before you greet them, then it is uncouth for other chiefs in Ghana to be treated in this way.
