Legal expert, has explained his reluctance to respond to the summons from the Kumasi Traditional Council, asserting that he has already extended his apology through a formal letter.
During an interview on Kasapa FM, he revealed that, before the situation escalated, he had written a letter through Wontumi TV’s management expressing regret for any offense caused by his comments.
Mr Ampaw stated that he also personally apologized to the Kumasi chiefs during a broadcast on Asempa FM.
“I have already apologised to the Kumasi Traditional Council through a letter over the my derogatory remarks I made towards them so I don’t see the essence of going there I have already apologised to them, all those criticising me most of you lack manners, I have issued an apology in a form of letter through Chairman Wontumi’s management. I stated that whatever remarks which by anyway has offended elders they should forgive me. That letter went earlier before we were summoned. I have personally offered an apology on Asempa FM,” he added.
He urged his critics to refrain from further criticism, emphasizing that he has already taken the necessary steps to address the situation.
The Kumasi Traditional Council issued a one-week ultimatum to the NPP leadership to present Chairman Wontumi, also known as Bernard Antwi Boasiako, before the Manhyia Palace.
This directive follows alleged derogatory remarks made by Chairman Wontumi about the Asantehene approximately two weeks ago.
Chairman Wontumi was expected to appear alongside Lawyer Maurice Ampaw, who is similarly accused of making derogatory statements on radio.
The lawyer strongly criticized the chiefs of the Ashanti Kingdom for summoning Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, also known as Chairman Wontumi.
During an appearance on the ‘Mmra ne Abrabo’ show on Wontumi TV, the lawyer accused the chiefs of engaging in questionable activities such as theft and girlfriend snatching.
He contended that these chiefs are unworthy of discussing Chairman Wontumi, citing allegations of multiple land sales among them.
As of now, Chairman Wontumi together with some officials from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) honored the summons from the chiefs.
