You are Thieves, Girlfriend Snatchers AndGalamsey Kingpins- Maurice Ampaw To Kumasi Chiefs

The fued between the Ashanti regional chairman of the NPP and the Manhyia palace, has got the public talking which, a legal personality, and a self acclaimed media personality, Maurice Ampaw has ignited a fiery controversy with his recent remarks aimed squarely at Chiefs in the Ashanti region. Speaking boldly, Ampaw declared that certain Chiefs, particularly in Kumasi, lack the moral authority to criticize figures like Wontumi. He accused them of engaging in activities ranging from theft to girlfriend and wife snatching, even going so far as labeling some as “galamsey kingpins.”

The sharp-tongued attorney did not mince words in challenging the traditional leadership, suggesting a side often shielded from public scrutiny. His comments, made on Wontumi TV/Radio in Kumasi, have set social media ablaze, with reactions pouring in from various quarters.

As the statement reverberates, it casts a spotlight on the intricacies of the relationship between public figures and traditional authorities. The question of temerity, the boldness to speak out against perceived wrongs, takes center stage as Maurice Ampaw questions the credibility of certain Chiefs.

The Chiefs in question, unnamed but implicitly targeted, have yet to respond officially to these serious allegations. The unfolding saga raises broader questions about accountability, transparency, and the expectations placed on revered community leaders.

As the controversy unfolds, the public awaits how Chiefs will navigate this uncharted territory and whether Maurice Ampaw’s outspoken remarks will lead to a reassessment of the roles and conduct expected from traditional leaders in the Ashanti region. Wontumi Tv finds itself at the center of this storm, providing a platform for a discussion that delves into the delicate balance between tradition and contemporary accountability..
