Pro-Duker Chief of Dompim Pepesa shockingly fines his Tufuhene GHc5,500

The Chief of Dompim Pepesa, Ohyeawora Bian Nyowah Panyin IV, is in the news. He is a cousin of George Mireku Duker, a former MP for Tarkwa-Nsuaem. Duker lost the 2024 elections by nearly 9,000 votes. Now, he is leading his comeback campaign.

Ohyeawora has taken action against his sub-chief over political issues. The sub-chief visited Mr. Fiifi Boafo during Easter holidays. Boafo is a former Communications Director of COCOBOD and may run for Parliament again.

The chief views this visit as disloyalty and disrespect. He supports his cousin's reelection efforts. The Tufuhene was summoned to the palace with family members and charged with disloyalty.

This incident has sparked discussions among locals. Many are questioning the legal or traditional basis for such actions. Some accuse Ohyeawora of seeking attention through this situation.

Nana Awuakoapong, the Tufuhene, visited Fiifi Boafo recently. This visit angered the chief, who sees it as support for Boafo's political ambitions. It raises concerns about loyalty within their community.

Dompim Pepesa faces political tensions already. The implications of Awuakoapong’s visit remain unclear. There are questions about whether any rules were broken by meeting a fellow native.

As of now, Nana Awuakoapong VIII confirmed he was fined for this incident. He told MyNewsGh.com that he is gathering resources to pay it off. He plans to comment further after settling the fine.
