Some Kumawu Traditional Leaders Misappropriate Funds

Kumawuhemaa has always been on the prowl for easy money. To the "doubting Thomases" that have been very vindictive in their comments on my articles articulating the bad habits of the queen, I am today proud to announce that I am vindicated. The gluttonous desire for wealth, fame and power, has once more played a decisive role in her present predicament. She had bewitched the Krontihene, who is no longer his own man. He, under the queen's spell, tricked the brain short-circuited cronies of his, namely, Saanahene and Saamahene to illegally withdraw the sum of eight hundred (800) million old Cedis, now equivalent to eighty thousand New Ghana Cedis (80,000 GH Cedis) from the Kumawu Traditional Council's Bank accounts with the Kumawu Rural Bank at Kumawu..

As they were about to bolt with the money that had stealthily been withdrawn, the Bank Manager stopped them in their tracks saying, "Please the Traditional Council owes the Bank two hundred and fifty Million old Cedis (250 Million Cedis)". He retrieved the sum owed the Bank from them They then scuttled away with five hundred and fifty million Cedis (550 million Cedis). She then absconded with her lion's share of 400 million Cedis to Accra , having given 150 Million Cedis to the named accomplices. This recalcitrant queen never ceases to amaze me.. The more you offer her prudent advice, the more she defaults, and the less she listens. Does she want to be buried in a gold coffin on her death? Supposing she doesn't, why then this absurd crave for money and material wealth by resorting to untoward means? Has she forgotten that a Bible verse has it as following, "Naked we came, and naked shall we go?"

It is now not the famed "Three Musketeers", but the "Disreputable Four Traditional Leaders", robbing Kumawuman in a broad daylight. Who authorised these four ill-famed leaders to withdraw the money in the first place? Why should the money, a royalty payment on timber from the soil of the Kumawu Traditional area and other sources be withdrawn for private use? Would it not have been much better if used to put up public projects? Now, the queen stringently wants to continue the rot which became the order of the day during the scandalous reign of her late brother, Barima Asumadu Sakyi II. I have always said she wants to steal every pesewa from the coffers hence, her unflinching resolve to impose her choice of candidate on Kumawuman to succeed the late chief. Those who have been bashing me around the ears whenever I disclose the evil machinations of this lady in the electronic media, where are you with your defence? Do you still support this crook?

She claims the Traditional Council owes her 400 million Cedis and fearing that she has now lost the plot, unlikely to have the final say as to whom becomes the chief, she decides to withdraw all the money in the kitty with the connivance of some untutored criminals. If I had my own way, I would suggest she is given public lashes, and then incarcerated. How did the Traditional Council come to owe her? The nearly 850 million Cedis spent on the burial of the late chief was borrowed from the Ashanti Regional House of Chiefs and the Kumawu Rural Bank in the ratio of 12:5 (600 Million Cedis from the House and 250 Million Cedis from the Bank). That of the Bank has been paid as mentioned above. That of the House is yet to be paid. How then do they owe the queen? What did they buy from her and when?

Nothing was purchased from her, neither was any money borrowed from her. But one Mr. Nsenkyire, the Chairman of the Forestry Commission who hails from either Besoro or Bodomase, is alleged to have vouched on the phone that the Council owes the queen some money. How come? Does a part of the timber felled from the soil of Kumawuman now belong to the queen, as it is the view of Nsenkyire? At this simplistic persuasion over the phone by a collaborator ready to assist the queen dupe Kumawuman, the Sanaahene fell flat for their shenanigan, deceitful trick. He then released the money to her. The queen then left for Accra without delay, probably to share the money with her accomplice. Big shame on them! When did Kumawuman agree that half of the wealth from their timber resources belongs to the queen? I have always been telling people that this woman is dubious in character. She is greedy, non-performing and wicked beyond telling. Her unquenchable desire for wealth makes her a human butterfly falling flat at her back for any rich person who proposes love to her. Is it the silly Akan tradition of a queen not marrying but parting wide her legs for any man that proposes which is the driving force behind her quest to chase rich men at their beckoning; crack of their finger?

One Mr. Amoah, a Bank Director (name of Bank withheld) desiring to become the "Odikro" of Kumawu-Woraso and the queen are an item. She could not stay longer with Asantehene, similarly as the three disciples couldn't, and were accused by Jesus for failing to keep watch with him in his critical moments in the garden of Gethsemane. What a human butterfly moving from man to man, emptying their pockets or wallets dry, same as a real butterfly jumps from flower to flower sucking their nectar?

This lady is a total criminal obliterating any chance of the "Ankaase" royals ever courting the confidence of Kumawuman. The Ankaase royals should move at the speed and intensity of lightning to dethrone this shameless queen. I may not have the choice but to go public with her criminal life story as lived in Canada prior to becoming a queen. I am holding my breath for a while. I don't desire to touch on one's personal life so she shouldn't force my hand. If she does act stupidly again, she will feel sorry and will curse the day of her birth. I may not hesitate to offer her a tabloid Christmas present by serializing her past in the electronic media.

Because of the combined ruinous reign of Barima Asumadu Sakyi II and her sister the queen, the "Ankaase Royal House" has ramified. It has given birth to "ABUSUA MO NKYE NI Royal House", the members of which House are voracious, "sikadicious", and know no shame. "Mo nkye ni na Kumawufo3 nk3we abo3 nda" They think every wealth of Kumawuman belongs to them. Now Kumawuman has four competing royal houses but not three as previously thought. The fourth one has their ancestors originating from Bompata, Wenchi, Adomfe, Krofa, Sunyani, Brekum, Wham, "Wo paamu." Do you recollect this children's play, as pertained in the good old days? The Bompata royals are not only fake, but are also, a total disgrace.

She should explain to Kumawuman how she came to be owed the 400 Million Cedis. I will not settle for any excuse without her telling the whole Ghana how the Council came to owe her. The view as expressed by Mr. Nsenkyire is nonsense in my ears. Her brother for 34 years squandered every pesewa that came into the coffers of the Traditional Council, without anyone challenging him why because, people believed he was able to use juju to kill his enemies, that is, anyone who disagreed with him on any issue. This is sad enough. This disgraceful Iron lady wants to take after her brother's foot steps.. No way, Lady-Tyson!

I am inclined to believe that Kumawuman, especially Kumawu, is jinxed, or else, they wouldn't be accommodating such incompetence, destructive and bogus ruling by callous people for about thirty four years without raising a voice. I am consulting with some friends who are well versed in the American law to see if this woman can stand trial in Canada should she ever escape to Canada still keeping the 400 Million Cedis illegally acquired? She can run but she can't hide. She "ain't" seen nothing yet. (She hasn't seen anything yet).

Did you Kumawu people check her background before offering her the queen's throne? Did you bother to enquire into her decades stay in Canada, her Training College background, her little infancy stay in Kumawu etc, before accepting her as the queen? If you really had, you wouldn't have had her near the seat but would have kept her at arms length. Anyway, you had little power or say as the chief had as usual, the final word. She offered bribe before she was offered the throne. Can she refute this? For this much I know.

I really feel sorry for the Asantehene to have ever associated intimately with this woman of a bizarre character, whose ugliness cuts across the bone but her beauty only a skin deep.. Should Kumawuman fail to throw out this lady from the queen's seat with all these unfolding proofs, then I will cease to bother about them. But if the queen thinks I am retreating in the face of frustration, I am afraid she has got me wrong, and had better watch out. I am always around to rear my ugly face to frighten the shit out of her. I personally will ensure all the corrupt persons involved in this last minute perpetration of crime go to prison for causing financial loss to the locality of Kumawuman. There has/had not been a single bag of cement purchased for development in Kumawuman for the past 34 years by the Traditional Council. However, all the billions of Cedis that came into its coffers were embezzled by about one or two persons. What a shame!
