Kumasi Traditional Council orders NPP to produce Wontumi in seven days

The Kumasi Traditional Council (KTC) has ordered the leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to produce its Ashanti Regional Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako aka Wontumi in the next seven days.

The council has also ordered popular lawyer Maurice Ampaw and management of Wontumi TV/Radio to appear before it, after the former was accused of making unsavory comments against the chiefs.

The party delegation were at the Manhyia Palace on Monday (22 January) following alleged comments made against the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, by the party stalwart.

The council, however, heard that Wontumi could not make it to the Palace as he was indisposed.

General secretary of the NPP, Justin Kodua who led the high-powered delegation thus prayed the council to adjourn sitting to the next two weeks.

But that was shot down by the council who adjourned sitting to Monday (29 January).

Bantamahene delivered the verdict on behalf of the council.
