Wotumi Multimedia Issues Heartfelt Apology To Manhyia

The General Manager of Wontumi Multimedia, Kofi Agyei, has pleaded for forgiveness over some derogatory remarks by one of their show hosts, Lawyer Maurice Ampaw.

Lawyer Ampaw put the media organization on the wrong side of traditional rulers over the weekend when he used some unprintable words on them during his show while reacting to a summon issued by the Kumasi Traditional Council to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the media house, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, known as Chairman Wontumi.

His utterances have culminated in a summon for himself and the management of the media organization for answers.

“He (Wontumi) should come along with Maurice Ampaw and the Management of his media house so they answer why they decided to use their air time to disrespect Nananom,” the Council ordered on Monday when leadership of the NPP appeared before them without Chairman Wontumi.

Ahead of their visit to the Manhyia Palace on January 29, the Management of the radio station has issued an unqualified apology to the authorities.

“He erred in his speech and spoke against traditional authorities at the Manhyia palace. It was wrong and so we are here to apologise. Management of the media house will go to the Palace but ahead of that, we want to use this channel to render an unqualified apology. We are on our knees. We plead that the traditional authorities forgive us,” Mr Agyei said during one of their broadcasts on Monday evening.

“Indeed, pre-production work takes place but the premeditated views of hosts cannot be known. We would like to state that Wontumi Multimedia can never use this medium to disrespect authorities. Who are we? Manhyia Palace has provided us with this land to work.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Background

Private legal practitioner and prominent member of the New Patriotic Party, Maurice Ampaw has taken chiefs of the Ashanti Kingdom to the gutters for summoning Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi.

Speaking on the ‘Mmra ne Abrabo’ show on Wontumi TV, the lawyer accused the chiefs of being thieves and girlfriend snatchers.

He claimed that the chiefs are not worth talking about Chairman Wontumi because some of them engage in multiple sale of land.

“The chiefs ‘dragging’ Chairman Wontumi, have you finished solving your problems? Some of you are thieves,” he claimed.

His remarks come after a summon was placed on the head of NPP Ashanti Regional Chairman, Chairman Wontumi, over some derogatory comments about the Asante kingdom.

The controversy arose during the vetting of NPP parliamentary aspirants in the Ashanti region when Chairman Wontumi allegedly claimed to have “built his own kingdom with military and police force in the Asante Kingdom.”
