The aggrieved Nkusukum chiefs, dressed in traditional black and red, and council members invoked the gods of the land to take severe action against the MP, citing persistent disrespect.
MynewsGH reported that before banishing the MP, the Omanhen of Nkusukum Traditional Area, Okogyeman Okese Essandoh IX, as part of the government’s 24-Hour economy market project, the MP informed them that he and his MCE had chosen the Mankessim market for the 24-Hour economy market initiative, and they inspected the place with the consultants and contractors.
Two weeks after the inspection, the same MP sent an invitation letter to the Nkusukum Traditional Council to attend the sod cutting, but upon reading the letter, they found out that the site had been changed.
Okogyeman Essandoh called the change a total disrespect.
