The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has expressed his disappointment in Bantamahene, Baffour Owusu Amankwatia VI, over his involvement in multiple disputes that have eroded peace in some communities.
According to sources, the Asantehene's frustration stems from a Committee report on the Adanwomase dispute over the community’s deity which implicates Bantamahene for his involvement.
At a Kumasi Traditional Council sitting, Baffour Amakwatia was slapped with a fine of eight rams, two of which had to be paid instantly, for defying the orders of the Asantehene about the case.
The Asantehene outlined several cases the chief was involved and questioned his intent for fueling tensions.
In rebuking the Bantamahene's behavior, the Asantehene sternly quizzed "What at all do you seek?"
The Asantehene is said to have been particularly disturbed by the Bantamahene's actions, which he believes are undermining the peace and stability of the region.
The Asantehene's words are being interpreted as a call to the Bantamahene to reflect on his actions and to consider the consequences of his involvement in the disputes.
