The National House of Chiefs has condemned the recent enstoolment of a claimant to the Ga stool describing it as illegal.
According to the house, the enstoolment of a new Ga Mantse undermines a legal process currently before the judicial committee of the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs.
The Regional House of Chiefs at Dodowaa has been sitting on the case as it attempts to resolve the chieftaincy conflict in the Ga state.
The National House of Chiefs says the latest moves by various kingmakers to install a new Ga Mantse will only worsen the situation.
Members of the house made this public after a two day meeting in Kumasi to discuss issues relating to the Chieftaincy institution in Ghana.
The President of the National House of Chiefs Wulugu Naba Pusansoa Naa Professor John Nabila said he is not happy about what is going and was shocked that a case pending before the judicial committee was not respected.
“This house is definitely unhappy about what is going on. The house is really scared that a case pending before a judicial committee which has a status of a high court was ignored.
We have procedures and we must all respect the law especially if we want to be chiefs.
“Chiefs must be custodians of the law just as we are the custodians of the land and we must work hand in hand with law enforcements agencies and not against the law. We have a system of mediation but the way things are tensed now if you try to mediate now you may rather make matters worse. So we have to wait until we get the right time”.
