Nii Ayi
Mensah I has refuted reports that he has installed Alhaji Sarki Musah Mahmud
Yamboni as Zongo chief for Nii Boiman in Accra.
In setting
the records straight, he said in a telephone interview that Sarki Yamboni was
installed by the the Noryaa Mantse (Development Chief) of Nii Boiman, Nii Amar
Noryaa I.
According
to Nii Ayi Mensah I, as the kingmaker for Nii Boiman, the tribal heads of the
Zongo community approached him and informed him about their intention to
install a Zongo chief in the community.
He said he
explained to them that he too had to inform the Asere Divisional quarter of which
Nii Boiman is under, of their decision to install a Zongo chief. They did not
agree with the arrangement and therefore asked that the installation be put on
hold.
The tribal
heads he said turned to the Noryaa Mantse, who went ahead to do the
installation.
A
development chief in cases of this nature must consult the principal chiefs of
the community.
Nii Ayi
Mensah I, who is also the Public Relations Officer for the Landlords
Association of the area, also entreated residents of the town to desist from
defrauding people in the community under the pretext of securing land titles
for them.
