The Protraction of the Kumawu Chieftaincy Dispute

Benefits Kwamanghene – Kumawuhemaa Confirms.

Kumawuhemaa is gradually coming to the realisation of how her insatiable greediness and selfishness have caused more harm than good to Kumawuman. The information filtering through to me indicates how she is having second thoughts about Kwamanghene. Kwamanghene sly as a fox as he is has needlessly caused the protraction of the Kumawu chieftaincy dispute. The longer the Kumawu chieftaincy dispute remains undetermined, the better it is for Kwamanghene according to the Kumawuhemaa. Why, one may ask?

Kwamanghene and the Agogohene are revealed by documents currently on possession by the Kumawuhemaa to have involved themselves in the sale of the 450,000 hectares of land she sold to some dubious Swedish Company. They have short-changed her. She made a secret pact with them to do whatever they wanted as long as they are able to help her enthrone the person of her choice as the next paramount chief of Kumawuman. Since then, these two chiefs have wittingly been scrambling for Kumawuman lands for sale. They are selling the Kumawuman lands in the Afram plains in chunks and pocketing the money. She now seems to regret her penchant for anti-development tendencies towards Kumawuman. These actions of hers have brought about God's wrath not only upon her but her entire Ankaase derelict royal family.

The breaking news circulating in Kumawu is that Kumawuhemaa has found the "ABAMO" artefact that had gone missing since six years ago. She is said to have brought it back to Kumawu. Though it's better late than never, the production of the "Abamo" antique now will never exonerate her of blame. Where had it been all these years and how did she come by it after it had gone missing for so long? Is what she has brought over to Kumawu not a caricature of the original one? She is on record to have said since over four years ago that she knew where it was in Canada and that she would produce it within weeks. It has taken her over four years when she last made her promise to produce it. She returned from Canada recently only to get the rumour going that she has found the "Abamo". Truly, she is currently in possession of it. If pressure had not come to bear upon her, she would have done a runner with it. What a disgraceful queen?

God willing, all those chiefs who have until now condoned and connived with Kumawuhemaa to dupe Kumawuman will be exposed and dealt with accordingly. God is at the helm of affairs so I can boldly declare my views in advance without fear or favour. If I were the incoming chief, I would seek the support of Kumawuman to deal with Kumawuhemaa and her malevolent associates who may not only have caused pain to Kumawuman citizens but also, may have in a way or another, deprived them of essential development through daylight robbery. They must be compelled to pay for whatever they have stolen from Kumawuman through their nose.

Shame on Kumawuhemaa! Your town has no toilets yet you disgracefully have money to dish out to other "Amanhene" in the hope of courting them in anticipation of installing someone of your choice from your Ankaase family as the next paramount chief. May you live to regret the harm you have done to Kumawuman? Shame on your entire "supposed" Ankaase royal family.
