As a result, he was summoned to the palace and made to serve the punishment for his comments as he was made to receive 40 lashes.
The traditional authorities went on to warn him to exhibit good behaviour in the traditional area or face ejection.
Photos that have since gone viral on social media have shown Asare Kofi Israel, looking all gloomy and teary after serving the punishment.
NPP leaders and the Drobo Traditional area leaders have not been on good terms.
This is because as the incumbent MP Hon. Yaw Afful who has lost his seat to NDC’s Okofo Darteh in the 2020 Presidential and Parliamentary elections accused the Omanhene of the Drobo Traditional Area of using his powers to push his nephew Prince Marfo to win the NPP internal party parliamentary.
