The office of the Omanhene of the Kwahu Traditional Area has stated that the Kwahuhene, Daasebre Akuamoah Agyapong II has not been destooled.
In a statement, the office said recent video footage claiming to depict a destoolment procedure is not only false but also contravenes both legal standards and Kwahu customs.
“The dissemination of this misleading video on social media and selected WhatsApp group pages, particularly among known politicians, constitutes an attack on the rich heritage and traditions of Kwahu,” the statement noted.
The office emphasised that no formal charges have ever been brought against the Kwahuhene that would justify any destoolment process.
“Furthermore, he has not been found liable of any misconduct related to his role as Chairman of the Board of the Agricultural Development Bank. The demand for his resignation by the Banking Supervision Division of the Bank of Ghana came without prior opportunity for the Kwahuhene to respond to the allegations, which raises concerns about due process,” the statement added.
In light of these events, the Kwahuhene chose to step aside to allow for an appropriate resolution of the matter. However, it is perplexing that, despite the absence of any findings against Daasebre. a video falsely suggesting his destoolment is being circulated.
“We urge the good people of Kwahu and subjects of the Esono Gyimah Mampong Agyei Stool to remain calm and steadfast in support of the Paramountcy.
“The actions of individuals attempting to tarnish the reputation of Kwahuman and the Kwahuhene without proper hearings should not be tolerated Kwahuhene Daasebre Akuamoah Agyapong II reaffirms his dedication to serving Kwahuman and to protect the integrity of our heritage,” the statement concluded.
