National Security Minister Albert Kan Dapaah Thursday evening visited the Manhyia palace over the seeming tension between the Otumfuo and the New Patriotic Party, Starr News has learnt.
It comes after some senior executives of the ruling party were seen, in a photo gone viral, kneeling before the Ashanti Monarch.
The king is reportedly angry over attempts by some individuals in government to pitch him against Akyems.
Meanwhile, a group calling itself the Concerned Youth of Ashanti has strongly accused a leading member of the New Patriotic Party, (NPP), Gabby Asare Otchere Darko and the Executive Secretary to the President Asante Bediatuo of speaking ill and undermining the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
Dr. Nana Agyenim Boateng, President of the Concerned Youth of Ashanti said all the negative things being said about the Asantehene by the two individuals have contributed to the Monarch’s anger.
In an interview with Starr News, Agyenim Boateng said “a couple of years ago under the leadership of Akufo-Addo, his nephew and relatives started making some comments concerning the Asantehene and the Asantehene himself mentioned Gabby Asare Otchere Darko and Asante Bediatuo at the Manhyia Palace.
“Everything they are saying about the Asantehene, he is in Manhyia Palace but he has heard of it…so it is a warning and an advice to them.”
According to Agyenim Boateng, the two top NPP members claim that the Asantehene is involved in money laundering and tacitly supports the NDC.

Today good experiences have shown that technology and good education have proved that conjuring Golden stool from the sky is a hoax. Technology has brought people to the moon and back. And if the technological advancement of today, can help the development of mankind is a good thing just as at that time under the prevailing circumstances, Okomfo Anokye used his conjuring wit to unite Asanteman. This unity must be coherent and consistent in a dignified environment where we freely express our views and respect each other, without unnecessary bestowing too much power on one person just because the powers which lie in the conjuncture of faith and culture has made him Overlord. Please do not let us hide behind the folly of tradition, culture, and belief to hamper our progress as civilized people. Ceremonial head or figure should recognize his boundaries, for, even the Asantehene has his marked jurisdiction in terms of land tenure, enthronement and dethronement in Ashanti Region. Do not let us create a monster out of our mutual arrangement.
The same person who advised Nana Addo to shun hearsay in his governance is now using it
Conjure another golden stool and we will take your suggestion seriously.
Yes, my friend it will never work, Ghana is bigger than any other chief or king. The man is not just happy npp is in power n I believe with this feelings he is going be unhappy for a very, very very loooooonng time cos npp will reign for sooo long. The better he understands this the better for him, nobody is superior than anybody in ghana.One God created all of us, He alone is superior than all mankind and everything. Long live npp. Long live Ghana
The truth must be told and, indeed, the present Asantehene is a disgrace to Asanteman-if you compare his pedigree to that of his predecessors. The more I think of this comparison, the more am I inclined to suggest that, the tradition and the enstoolment should be modernized to that of a Rotation of the prominent paramount Chiefs to occupy the throne periodically. After all, if you carefully keep your own counsel you would realize that the essence and for that matter, the creation of Asantehene was purely based on witty conjuncture of faith by Okomfo Anokye which imposed a mutual agreement on the paramount chiefs. Please don't get me wrong here. I salute Okomfo Anokye for his wit to conjure that unity which binds us together but if it is misused then we have to think about it for a change which embraces the present time solutions.
Dubious and selfish leaders are always afraid of the impact of their deeds. Why worry if with a clean heart for the nation.
Well said Togbe he is the chief of Ashanti and not gh guess he has a complex he doesnt trust himself the evil that men do live after them, hes own deeds are hunting him
What has this got to do with national security capo? Your world bank is now emptied by the asantehene, nana addo and barwumia should go and kneel before him.
OTUMFOU JUST MISSES MAHAMA AND THEIR PARTYING THATS ALL.HE JUST WANT NPP TO LOOSE THE UPCOMING ELECTIONS SO THAT MAHAMA CAN COME BACK.THAT IS ALL.HE SHOULD SHOW IN PRINT OR VIDEO OF OKYERE DARKO OR ASANTE BEDIATUO INSULTING HIM TO THE NATION.ITS NEVER TRUE,HE IS JUST PREPARING THE GROUNDS FOR NDC.
And which of the two accusations if they actually accused the asantehene of is not true? Were we not here when the news broke out of his money laundering activities? Who doesnt know the man supports NDC?
