Franklin Cudjoe, the President of IMANI Africa, has drawn a comparison between the recent actions of Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and the performance of the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo-led government. Cudjoe points out that the Asantehene has taken decisive action by destooling five subchiefs in a span of four months due to insubordination and illegal activities, including land sales and involvement in galamsey.

Cudjoe's Facebook post dated August 22 highlights that, in his opinion, the actions of Asantehene have been more forceful and proactive than President Nana Akufo-Addo's approach to dealing with underperforming government appointees. He specifically mentions that despite the economic challenges faced during the Akufo-Addo administration, certain appointees continue to hold their positions.

"Asantehene is reshuffling. Destools 5 sub-chiefs in just 4 months. More in the pipelìne. This record is unnmatched by Nana, who seven years on is happy with his men even though they helped him ran the economy into a ravine," Cudjoe stated in a Facebook post dated August 22.

Among the subchiefs destooled by Asantehene is Nana Kwaku Duah III, the Abuontemhene of the Kumasi Traditional Council. He was removed from his position for illegally selling lands under his jurisdiction. The decision to destool Nana Kwaku Duah III was made after accusations were brought against him by fellow subchiefs.

The subchiefs accused Nana Kwaku Duah III of disregarding the directives of Asantehene and engaging in unauthorized land sales. They claimed that he even used Asantehene's name to gain approval for his activities related to the land sale, which was under investigation.

Nana Kwaku Duah III defended himself against some of the allegations but admitted his presence on the land in question. He argued that he had permitted others to work on the land with his approval. In response, Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II stated that Nana Kwaku Duah III's actions had violated his authority and orders, leading to his destoolment.

This comparison made by Franklin Cudjoe underlines the proactive approach taken by the Asantehene in addressing issues within his jurisdiction, as opposed to what Cudjoe perceives as a lack of similar actions by the Akufo-Addo government to address its challenges.
