• The woman urged the Asantehene to address these issues, adding that most affected market women are too fearful to speak up

An elderly market woman in Kumasi in the Ashanti region has criticised the chiefs on Manhyia for failing to build the new market in Kumasi as promised.

The angry market woman's accusations came after she addressed issues surrounding Afia Pokua's insult of Asantehene.

The woman said that although Afia Pokua was not right, the Manhyia chiefs surrounding Otumfuo Osei Tutu II were the reason people could insult the Asantehene and go scot-free.

In a video on Facebook, the woman described the chiefs as deceitful and greedy, adding that their behaviour has contributed to the disrespect of the Asantehene and the Ashanti Kingdom.

The elderly woman alleged that the chiefs promised to build a new market in Kumasi to accommodate them. The women then took loans to develop the new site, only for the chiefs to later demolish the project.

She added that this has affected the finances of the market women, but the chiefs have done nothing about it, choosing to focus on the Afia Pokuaa issue.

She said many affected market women are afraid to speak up on the issue and pleaded with Otumfuo Osei Tutu II to address her concerns and deliver justice.
