Ebola Scare: Chief demoted for celebrating annual festival
The Chief of Esiama in the Ellembelle District,
Nana Kofi Ampoe IV, has been leading his people to
celebrate the annual Kundum festival.

Nana Kofi Ampoe IV, who was initially a Divisional
Chief is now serving as an Odikro, a title lower
than his earlier status.

The demotion letter, which was signed by, and
served under the directive of the President of the
council Awulae Amihere Kpanyinli III, stated that
the chief flouted the directives in a resolution
passed on September 9, 2014, restraining any town
within the traditional area from celebrating
festivals or holding such huge public gatherings
that could expose people to the deadly Ebola Virus
Disease.

Meanwhile, a report by the Ghana News Agency
indicated that the festival for which Nana Kofi
Ampoe IV has been sanctioned was also attended by
some of the other paramount chiefs under the
council who were also signatories to the
consensus.
