The Kpone Traditional Council has rubbished news on social media that the area’s Paramount Chief had a confrontation with President Akufo-Addo at Kpone on Sunday.
The propaganda, the Traditional Council explained, was a calculated attempt by some ‘ignorant and lazy’ Ghanaians, who think by spreading such falsehood the government would be unpopular in the traditional area.
At a brief presser to set the record straight at the Kpone Traditional Council, Tuesday, Nii Tei Kojo Amankwah Sune I, Gbetsile Divisional Chief, on behalf of Nii Tetteh Otu II, Kpone Paramount Chief, and the Traditional Council, explained that the Paramount Chief at no point at a durbar held to welcome President Akufo-Addo, where he cut sod for the construction of a 40-bed Municipal Hospital, rubbished his Special Guest.
He said Nii Otu II read the welcome address and had a fruitful engagement with President Akufo-Addo, even to when the ground was broken for the health facility.
“What the propagandists did not know was that after the sod was cut, our Paramount Chief, who was so happy for such a health project, was gesturing and suggesting to the President that he would rather wish the building was a storey in order to conserve land for future expansions. Our Paramount Chief talks with a lot of hand gestures, and anybody who knows our Paramount Chief will agree with me.
“Indeed, President Akufo-Addo welcomed the suggestion by Nii Tetteh Otu II, and because the contractor was just by them, he requested Nii and the Council to sit with the contractor for re-modification of the architectural drawings to a storey. So, there was no instance on that day that our Paramount Chief rubbished or disrespected President Akufo-Addo,” Nii Sune I explained.
Later, when President Akufo-Addo had left, Nii Sune I said the Paramount Chief set up a three-member committee to collaborate on a re-modification of the lateral Kpone Municipal Hospital drawing into a storey before the project starts, “and very soon, that will be finalised for us to have the beautiful hospital here at Kpone.”
Having set the record straight, Nii Kojo Amankwah Sune I, on behalf of the Traditional Council, cautioned media houses and rumour-mongers to learn to report the facts of the happenings at Kpone on Sunday, “or the Traditional Council will haul such persons who want the retrogression of Kpone Traditional Area to our Disciplinary Committee. Lastly, indigenes of Kpone and Ghanaians should disregard the falsified news on social media and on the lips of propagandists.”
Present at the press conference were Nii Oblie V, Kpone Mankralo, Nii Tetteh Oglie II, Mlitsakpo Divisional Chief, and Numo Roger Amankwah, Member of the Kpone Traditional Council.
