    Chiefs do not constitute any formal administrators in Ghana. Honour given them out of Tradition and not administrative role. The National Law must be enforced!

  • Sebastian Parker 10 years ago

    THEY CHIEF PRIEST OF THE GA STATE IS THE NAI WULOMO. HE SUPERCEDES ALL THE WULOMEI. THE CURRENT NAI WULOMO NUUMO AKWAA MENSAH II IS THE CHIEF PRIEST OF ACCRA. NUUMO OGBARMEY IS THE SAKUMO WULOMO.

  • prempeh 10 years ago

    Amon Kotei talk sense ! the people and Chiefs of Ga state should rehabilitate their palaces themselves ! It is a shame to make this demand from the Accra boss.

  • Godlover 10 years ago

    Long overdue.This is the first point of call whenever officials visit the towns. Some palaces are eyesore. Chieftaincy is a constitutional establishment so must be supported from the consolidated fund.

  • Kk 10 years ago

    Nonsense!! Must the state be the one to renovate or build their Palaces for them,after the have sold all their stool lands and blow the money.That is what the stool land is ment for.How about other tribes.idiots!

    The solutions to the problems are not one-dimensional. It is a problem that requires the help of the chiefs too.
