THE ASANTEHENE, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, who returned from a private visit to South Africa on Tuesday, will not publicly speak about the recent troubles at Tafo and Asante Akim Agogo in the coming days.
As the rich tradition of the Asante demands, Otumfuo will have to be officially briefed about the Tafo and Asante Akim Agogo issues which occurred in his absence during a durbar of chiefs.
It is after Otumfuo has been thoroughly briefed by the chiefs that he (Otumfuo), who is the overlord of Asanteman, can talk publicly about the two sensitive and security-related issues.
A credible source at the Manhyia Palace, the official seat of the Asante Monarch, has hinted DAILY GUIDE that it is not likely that the Asantehene will be briefed by the Asante chiefs in the coming days.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, the source said Otumfuo would be seriously engaged next week as it was likely that the late Bantamahene, Baffuor Asare Owusu Amankwatia, would be buried next week.
He said after the Bantamahene's burial, which is likely to happen next week Thursday, the Asantehene would also sit in state for people from all walks of life to pay homage to him during the Akwasidae festival on Sunday.
According to him, it is likely that Otumfuo would sit in state at the Manhyia Palace for the chiefs to brief him about the Tafo and Agogo issues the week after the burial of the Bantamahene.
