The High Court in Kumasi has issued a directive to the Bono Regional House of Chiefs, ordering them to submit the CD forms of Tolee Samgba Gyafla II, Omanhene of the Sampa Traditional Council, to the National House of Chiefs by the close of business on Monday.
Failure to comply with the directive will empower the Sampa Traditional Council to submit the CD forms directly. The court’s decision aims to resolve a dispute in relation to Gazett as a chief.
In a related development, the court has fixed October 17th for proceedings to address contempt charges brought against Nana Dormaahene, who continues to evade the court’s jurisdiction. The contempt charge suggests that Nana Dormaahene has failed to comply with or respect the court’s authority.
The court’s orders underscore the importance of adhering to legal procedures in resolving traditional disputes. The outcome of the case is expected to have implications for the Sampa Traditional Council, the Bono Regional House of Chiefs, and Nana Dormaahene.
