Help protect the dignity of Manhyia – Otumfuo begs journos
The Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has appealed
to journalists in the Ashanti region to help
protect the dignity of the Manhyia Palace.

According to him, although the Palace is grateful
for the tremendous attention being given it by
journalists in the region, there is the need for
some circumspection as far as issues regarding the
palace are concerned.

The plea by the Asante Monarch comes on the back
of a recent rift between journalists in the
Ashanti regional capital, Kumasi and the palace
over some maltreatment claims.


Journalists in the region resolved to boycott
activities at the palace after a sentinel
allegedly manhandled a reporter during an event at
the palace.

Although the matter has been resolved, the Otumfuo
at a meeting with the media Thursday reiterated
his remorse over the incident and gave the
assurance that the palace will continue to work in
harmony with the media in the region.

He said the palace is aware that it requires the
help of the media to propagate its achievements to
the rest of the world.
