The Kwahu Traditional Council has destooled the Kwahumanhene Daasebre Akuamoah Agyepong II over what the council deems misconduct.
The destoolment of Daasebre Akuamoah Agyepong II follows allegations of financial misconduct during his tenure as Chairman of the Agricultural Development Bank’s board.
Accusations of extortion from a bank customer forced his resignation, and the Kwahumanhemaa, Nana Adwoa Gyamfuah II, confirmed the destoolment, citing reputational damage to the council.
“We have destooled Eugene Kwasi Boadi Asante (Daasebre Akuamoah Agyepong II). The traditional council frowns on chiefs who do not rule in truth. He has brought reputational damage to Kwahuman. He cannot serve as the Chief of Kwahu again.”
When asked who holds the authority to enstool or destool a chief, Nana Adwoa Gyamfuah II provided clarity, “In Akan tradition, if a chief passes on, the Queen Mother enstools a new chief in consultation with Kingmakers. If a Queen Mother passed on too, the Chief together with the Kingmakers enstool a new Queen Mother. That is an Akan Tradition.”
The Kwahumanhemaa revealed that the council is working to enstool a new Kwahumanhene. In the interim, the Abetifihene, Nana Asiedu Agyemang III, has assumed the role of acting president of the Kwahu Traditional Council.
“The traditional Council met on Wednesday, November 13. All the Chiefs and Queen mothers, twenty in number formed a quorum to take a decision. We all agreed and informed every member of the traditional council of the decision taken. We also performed rites, calling on the gods for us to be able to enstool a new chief who will be of help to Kwahuman.”
