Nii Yaote Oto Ga II, Ga Dzasetse, is disquiet by what he deems double standard on the part of the Akufo-Addo Government’s when it comes the handling of chieffaincy matters in Ghana.

According to him, the government had taken delight to resolve chieftaincy dispute by making it worse or favour one party against the other, regardless of legal issues at play or historical antecedents.

Meeting journalists in Accra on this week’s Tuesday, Nii Dzase stated emphatically that, through the use of force, intimidation, and abuse of power, the government has ceased a legitimate Paramount Chief of the Ga people, Boni Nii Adama Latse II, from accessing his Palace and had espunge his name from the House National House of Chief.

He said although a Kumasi Court with of competent jurisdiction has ruled on the matter and declared the removal this illegality, the President and his government machinery have chosen to pee on the decision of the court.

The government have treated the decision of the court with gross disrespect, meanwhile, the 1992 Constitution mandates the judiciary, as a natural arbiter of dispute.

Per his observation, the government has consistently interfered with the chieftaincy institution not only in Accra, but other tradition areas’ including Akropong and Bawku.

Nii Dzase was dumbfounded, particularly, when the government through the Ministry of Information issued a statement, warning a newly installed chief at Bawku to desist from not carrying himself about as Bawku Naba.

“If what is happening in Bawku now is illegal, how come Boni Nii Tacke Adama Latse, gazetted 24th April, 2015, not protected by the government rather helped with the installation of rival Ga Mantse Kelvin Tackie in 2017, two clear years after the former wes gazetted,” he murmured.

The only meaning, he could read into the government’s action and inaction, was that it is a walking contradiction, and despite being nepotistic, it is full of “double standars.”
