Knowledge and Truth Shall Set You Free, Oh Kumawuman Citizens!

It is once appointed unto you, oh fellow Kumawuman citizens, to be of service worthy of emulation, to your home place of birth – Kumawuman. However, among some of the Kumawuman citizens living abroad, in the Whiteman's land, fleecing their greener pastures, they don't give a hoot about whatever takes place, and however it takes place, in their ancestral place of birth, Kumawuman.

Kumawuman by my understanding and application encompasses all towns, villages and cottages within the Kumawu divisional area in Asanteman. Some of these towns and villages are Kumawu, Akotosu, Bodwease, Wonoo, Abotanso, Abenaso, Woraso, Bodomase, Besoro, Nkwanta, Temaate, Drobonso etc.

It should be our obligatory duty to ensure the progress of our place of birth. We can do this through our positive contributions in various ways; either financial or any form of material contributions or our encouraging advice and supportive actions in great times of need.

In this ongoing Kumawu stool dispute, some of you feel less concerned about whatever the outcome is, and however it comes out. You think it is the sole responsibility of the very royal families involved to battle it out. This is wrong, I must confirm to you.

It is the collective responsibility of all discerning Kumawuman citizens to ensure only the truth and justice, do prevail at all time to the benefit of the citizens and the locality.

Anyway, I shall encourage all Kumawuman citizens to stand up taller to be counted by siding with those pursuing the agenda of truth and natural justice in the Kumawu chieftaincy disputation.

The enstoolment of Dr Yaw Sarfo as Kumawuhene, amidst all the dubious intents, illegalities and coercion as made manifest in the video on YouTube entitled, “Asantehene involves in corruption”, should be treated with all the contempt it deserves. Until due processes are followed, his installation is a nonstarter.

For the inhabitants of Kumawuman to know and understand why I am very critical about the enstoolment of Dr Yaw Sarfo as Kumawuhene, I shall instruct the public viewing of the video in which tradition and laws about the selection, election and enstoolment of new chiefs were broken in the case of Dr Yaw Sarfo. Additionally, I shall ask for copies of my published articles elaborating the laws in relation to Kumawuhemaa publicly asserting to have bribed the Kumawu kingmakers, to be distributed or explained to the viewers.

Without explaining the laws and showing them the video, most of them may think Dr Sarfo's enthronement is in conformity with Asante tradition and custom, but it is not. It flouts both tradition and statutory regulations.

We are no longer living under the brutal Asantehene overlordship as pertained in the past prior to the capture and deportation of Nana Agyemang Prempeh I in 1896 to the Seychelles. We are now living in a situation where Constitutional laws prevail and do supersede all other known established human laws. We are no longer living in the jungle under the rules of the survival of the fittest. Correctly, the fittest animal in the jungle is not the strongest but the one that quickly adapts to the various and changing jungle conditions.

We therefore have to resist the oppressor's (Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II) rule. This is why I have written about him to some world and local leaders, bodies and organizations. We should not allow him to breach civilized laws with impunity. He has cruised for bruising in this Kumawu stool dispute.

Kumawuman citizens, please watch the video on YouTube and read all my articles stating the relevant laws. Once you familiarise yourselves with the vital information, you will be in a better position to comprehend my opposing stance taken on Dr Yaw Sarfo's enstoolment.

Kumawuhemaa has on several occasions told her friends and family members that any money coming into Kumawu, in the name of payment of compensations, royalties etc. from the use of Kumawu stool lands is for her sole family. This is absolute RUBBISH! Where her family was when those lands were obtained by our entire forefathers through conquers and wars? Why at all are Kumawuman citizens staying nonchalant or quiet while this woman takes us for fools for all these years?

Kumawuman is ruined in terms of essential development and lack of even potable water yet; this woman is ready to part with Kumawuman monies and lands to completely lazy idiots. Should we allow that? No, we shouldn't!

There is a rumour that has started doing rounds. It indicates that whichever fetish that has been assisting the rogues in the Kumawu stool dispute until now, has demanded to be rewarded with a man and a woman with her child. The fetish shrine, in which case, we shall restrict ourselves to the fetish (spirit) itself, feels it has accomplished its duty to the rogues so payment is due. Human blood is required. Those asked for will suffer sudden or mysterious deaths, probably. What a human sacrifice in the spiritual realm!

Who then are the rogues, one may ask? They are those you think they are.

Finally, I shall advise all Kumawuman citizens to be very careful about what is offered to them to drink or eat before, during and long after the impending Christmas. It is mostly through what one consumes that these crooks calling themselves chiefs and queens can attain their objectives of physically eliminating those they see as their opponents or enemies.

My condolences to Madam Adwoa Acheampomaah and her family on the death of their brother Kwabena Otuo whose sudden and mysterious death occurred in Kumawu five days ago. May his soul find peace in the bosom of God.

I dedicate this publication to the memory of Kofi Dadzie. May his name stand taller within the Kumawu Ankaase family.
