Dormaahene, Osaagyefo Oseadeeyo Nana Agyemang Badu II has finally broken his silence on what happened during last year's Kwafie Festival.

In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh on the Facebook page of India Man TV, the Dormaahene who was speaking at a gathering of some Bono Chiefs and youth of Bono, said many were wondering why he had kept mute all while in the wake of what had been happening.

He said the series of events for some time now makes it evident that anytime the people of Bono achieve something worth celebrating some naysayers fabricate falsehoods and lies to rubbish their accomplishments.

He sighted an incident which happened last year in August as well as a brouhaha that arose as a result of a comment a popular US-based TikToker Naana Donkor Arthur made as classical examples to back his point.

He described recent issues purported to have happened at the Kwafie Festival as propaganda.

"This is propaganda. Chiefs were you not here to support during the Kwafie festival, you see the issues that have emerged afterwards. They are doing propaganda. Whatever they are saying is not true. This is not the time for me to have spoken."

Dormaahene concluded by saying Ghanaians would know he had been treated unfairly if decided to fully address those issues.

"The people of Bono let us be careful. Anytime the people of Bono people do something gracious then people try to find fault with it. Recall that in August last year, something also came up or have you forgotten? Myself and some chiefs went to America hoping to build a hospital that specialises in kidney treatment here. This hospital would cater not only for the people of Bono but the Ahafo people. A white man even pledged to support us with medicines and equipment worth five million dollars. The programme was a success when we were done, didn't you hear about what happened to Naana Donkor Arthur.? This means that anytime we do something then people find an issue with it."

Involvement of a King in Galamsey

The Dormaahene also alleged that the move to drag his name into the mud was part of a diversionary tactic hatched in the wake of a documentary released by the Fourth Estate, a non-profit, investigative project in which a popular King was implicated in illegal mining.

He went further to mention the names of persons he believed were cited in the documentary who were heavily linked to the King.

He concluded by stating that he and the traditional rulers in the Bono Region were not involved in the menace adding that they would readily stop any chief in Bono found engaging in such acts.
