Traditional authorities of Kintampo area are angry with government delegation led by the Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia who were there to commiserate with the families of the Kintampo Waterfalls victims.
The delegation was in the area to show solidarity with students of Wenchi Methodist Secondary School currently responding to treatment after a storm was said to have caused a tree to fall on revellers, killing at least 20 students and injuring several others.
The delegation including the Brong Ahafo Region Minister, Hon Asoma-Cheremeh announced government will bear the cost of treatment of the injured persons and the funeral expenses of the dead.
But the traditional authorities of Kintampo Traditional Council are dissatisfied with government.
According to the Kontihene of the area, Nana Effah, they had messages from the constituency executives of NPP that the Vice President will pay them a courtesy call.
“So we were seated in our palace waiting for the Dr. Bawumia and his entourage to come so it can afford us opportunity to brief him the whole issue ….We waited for hours only to hear on radio this morning that he has gone back to Accra.”
“How come you be in a traditional home like this and refused to seek permission from us a custodians of the land?.. This is uncalled for and we will want government to come with better explanation,” the aggrieved Kontihene fumed during radio interviews.????

What is it about tradion that Bawumia have to know, the man visited the victims or tell us if Jm visited ga mantse when the circle disaster happened before visiting the victims. Grow up in ur comments, kindly post a pic as evidence which shows the head of the 2nd lady uncovered if uve see the colour of her hair ever before, grow up and stop phooling around with senseless comment just hypocricy and jealousy is killing some northners.
These chiefs are just attention seekers aa so did the president during the melcom incident visited the Ga mantse and his elders before visiting the victims, all we needed was for him to visit the victims so if u want to be visited too the kontihene and elders go and make sure u are involved in same came ot try to drown urself
The chiefs should forgive and forget. This should not creat a scence.
Under normal circumstances, Mr Vice President and his team after visiting the victims should have paid a courtesy call on the chiefs and the tourism office in the area to hear how it all happened. But since it didn't happen that way, Kontihene should take heart and let go.
misinformation but all the same there was a visit at kintampo
Wow "waris this" Well said... Brilliant example..
The chiefs may be asking for too much but i plead that in tune with our culture of utmost respect to our elders, we refrain from insults.
The chiefs should run their republic then. Chiefs be up and doing.
