Chief of Asamankese-Anum in the West Akyem municipality of the eastern region , Barima Kwasi Anyane V has performed rites to destool eight of his sub-chiefs for various offensive reasons. This follows a threat to distool him(Barima Kwasi Anyane) as the chief of the community after eight years on the throne. The destooled chiefs are Kwame Amponsah ///(Amankrado), Okai Asiampong(Kyidomhene), Osei Nimako(Gyaasehene), Anyane Kwatia(Twafohene), Addo Kwadwo(Sanaahene), Kwadwo Anyane Ekpe(Ahenemahene), Kwame Amoah(Asafoatse) and Kwadwo Yeah(Akwanserahene).

Barima Anyane V speaking to the reporter accused the ousted chiefs over the years have engaged in corrupt practices in the affairs of the traditional hierachy as some chiefs were wrongfully distooled for no better reasons. According to him, history reveals that the ousted chiefs in collaboration with others have destooled some chiefs just five years on the throne due to their selfish and wicked intention which in effect has had negative impact on the development of the community.

The aggrieved chief however stated that he is not going to allow that attitudes of the chiefs to affect the community hence the need to distool. "I don't think i need such people in my cabinet and since i ushured them into office, i think it would be in the best interest of the community to change them for responsible leaders" Barima Anyane added.

He therefore called on the people in the community to support his fight for the development of the community at all times. He emphasised on plans to sort for support from corperate bodies as well as other agencies to develop the area.

Meanwhile he said plans will soon be made to get new people to replace the eight ousted chiefs which to him would be done well-monitored in order to get competent and selfless leaders to help raise living standars of the people.
