Kingmakers rubbish destoolment claims
The true kingmakers of the Kwahu Traditional Area in the Eastern Region have rubbished claims that
Kwahuhene Daasebre Akuamoah Agyapong II has been destooled.
Over the weekend, some self-styled kingmakers of Kwahu mobilized a handful of people to give a semblance of
support for their destoolment.
However, in a press statement, the office of the Omanhene of the Kwahu Traditional Area has debunked the so-
called destoolment, pointing out that the illegal act constitutes an attack on the rich heritage and traditions of
Kwahu.
“The office of the Omanhene of the Kwahu Traditional Area wishes to clarify that, Kwahuhene, Daasebre
Akuamoah Agyapong II has not been destooled. Recent video footage claiming to depict a destoolment
procedure is not only false but also contravenes both legal standards and Kwahu customs. The dissemination of
this misleading video on social media and selected WhatsApp group pages, particularly among known
politicians, constitutes an attack on the rich heritage and traditions of Kwahu,” the release signed by Nana K
Boadi spokesperson for the office of the Omanhene stated.
Below is the full statement:

OFFICE OF THE KWAHUHENE

RE: PURPORTED DESTOOLMENT OF KWAHUHENE
The office of the Omanhene of the Kwahu Traditional Area wishes to clarify that, Kwahuhene, Daasebre
Akuamoah Agyapong II has not been destooled. Recent video footage claiming to depict a destoolment
procedure is not only false, but also contravenes both legal standards and Kwahu customs. The dissemination of
this misleading video on social media and selected WhatsApp group pages, particularly among known
politicians, constitutes an attack on the rich heritage and traditions of Kwahu.
It is important to emphasize that, no formal charges have ever been brought against the Kwahuhene that would
justify any destoolment process. Furthermore, he has not been found liable of any misconduct related to his role
as Chairman of the Board of the Agricultural Development Bank. The demand for his resignation by the
Banking Supervision Division of the Bank of Ghana came without prior opportunity for the Kwahuhene to
respond to the allegations, which raises concerns about due process.
In light of these events, the Kwahuhene chose to step aside to allow for an appropriate resolution of the matter.
However, it is perplexing that, despite the absence of any findings against Daasebre, a video falsely suggesting
his destoolment is being circulated.
We urge the good people of Kwahu and subjects of the Esono Gyimah Mampong Agyei Stool to remain calm
and steadfast in support of the Paramountcy. The actions of individuals attempting to tarnish the reputation of
Kwahuman and the Kwahuhene without proper hearings should not be tolerated.
Kwahuhene Daasebre Akuamoah Agyapong II reaffirms his dedication to serving Kwahuman and to protect the
integrity of our heritage.
ASAASE ABAN!!!!!!!
