Call Queen Mothers To Order -- PPP Tells Brong Ahafo Chiefs
02.02.2016 LISTEN

BRONG AHAFO REGIONAL HOUSE OF CHIEFS MUST CALL THE QUEEN MOTHERS WHO INVOKED DEITIES ON SIR JOHN AND THE TWO MPs TO ORDER - EASTERN REGIONAL PPP YOUTH ORGANIZER.

Chapter 22 of the Forth Republican constitution of Ghana specifically deliberate on chieftaincy in Ghana.

Art276(1) States - a chief shall not take part in active party politics and any chief wishing to do so must abdicate his stool or skin.

The financial mishaps regarding the DKM financial services and the people of Brong Ahafo has become so disheartening that traders and individuals who have fallen victims to this uncertainty have faced and still facing the bitterness of the mishaps.

For several months, the government has not told Ghanaians the efforts they are making towards retrieving and giving the monies back to the victims.

This is what the queen mothers and the traditional leaders in Brong Ahafo must border themselves about on behalf of the suffering masses rather than invoking deities on those perceived to be linking the government and the first lady to the issue.

It took me by surprise to hear that some queen mothers who are to set good morale examples have invoked deities on Sir John and some MPs for speaking for the vulnerable people whose monies are locked up for several months without any effort by the government to retrieve it for them.

Are the queen mothers now communicators for the NDC government?

Not long ago, the Brong Ahafo NDC communicators were praising the First Lady and her husband President Mahama for making DKM accessible to the people of BA. The first lady herself admonished the people of BA to actively get involve in the DKM transactions so I ask, Why the paradigm shift?

The decision by the queen mothers to invoke deities on some people because they have linked the first lady to the DKM financial hoax indicates clearly that those queen mothers who were involved in that unwanted act are interested in partisan politics and have shown their political colours to Ghanaians.

This year is an election year hence what is expected from the traditional leaders is to call for peace before, during and after the election rather than cursing persons perceived to be opponents to the President and the first lady.

I appeal to the Brong Ahafo Regional House of Chiefs to investigate and sanction the queen mothers for acting politically as spokespersons for the NDC party and government.

Traditional leaders are to offer neutral political advise rather than invoking deities on people especially when the case is political which doesn't matter them.

What's their interest?
Have they taken bribes?
It is said that the Queen mothers were given half piece of cloths after they have invoked deities at the press conference.

What the queen mothers did is absolutely uncalled for. They could have used that opportunity to intervene for the suffering people rather than what they did.

I am very disappointed in them.
