For once, let’s not jump into saying, Ashanti people do not like education and that is why they are allegedly being not considered for appointments in Ghana…Cut the tribal rope off!

Last Saturday at the forecourt of the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Asante Confederacy, Asantehene-Otumfuo Osei Tutu II reportedly “blasted  the John Mahama led National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration over allegations that the Asantes (natives of the Ashanti Region) are being discriminated against in the areas of appointments and employment opportunities in the country”.

According to the Daily Guide, “the Asantehene disclosed that he had in recent times received several complaints and reports about how people with Asante extraction were being discriminated against on the job market, even though they had the requisite qualifications.”

“Asantes are crying over neglect by the NDC government,” Otumfuo said.

The newspaper adds that “the Asantehene stated emphatically that if indeed the reports and the complaints that he had been receiving were authentic, then he would not accept them, stating that his people had done no wrong to merit such a discriminatory treatment by the NDC administration.

He stressed the need for the NDC government to be fair to all ethnic groups in the country, including the Asantes, saying that he only wanted the government to consider people who have the requisite qualifications for appointments irrespective of their tribal affiliations.”

This comes as a shock to many who sort of believe the Asantehene is in bed with President John Mahama and his NDC…

And to explain his closeness with President Mahama, he is reported to have said as “an Asantehene his position requires that he works closely with any sitting government to ensure Ghana’s growth” and he has in the past worked with presidents like Jerry John Rawlings, John Agyekum Kufuor and the late Prof Atta Mills.
