The Head of the Tetteh Okpe families of Amamole and Okortsoshishi has cautioned king- makers not to install unqualified chief as this has always been a recipe for violence and disputers in the Greater Accra Region.
He said most often than not, people who were not even remotely connected to the chieftaincy lineage, but had considerable wealth, got selected and nicodemously installed as chiefs.
“Chieftaincy as a revered institution was never abused by our forefathers as it is being done now,” he said.
Nii Ashitey Tetteh gave the caution last Saturday at Amamole near Pokuase in the Greater Accra Region to officially announce the demise of the chief, Nii Tetteh Okpe IV, who passed on over a month ago
He said even though the passing of the chief had created a temporary void, a new chief and a deserving one would be installed to lead the people of Amamole.
Nii Ashitey Tetteh said he would be acting as the Chief of Amamole and the Gyasehene , a position the late chief was holding to bring about family cohesion.
Present at the function were Nii Akiritey James Tetteh, Lemoel Ashitey Attram, all principal elders of the Tetteh Okpe families.
Others were Nii Tetteh Tsru II Ngleshie Ajumako Stool father, Nii Jerry Aquaye Thompson, former Municipal Chief Executive of Ga West, and Naa Klorkai Densua, Pokuase Queen.

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has clarified that former Finance Minister Kenneth Nana Yaw Ofori-Atta remains the subject of criminal proceedings in Ghana and is still wanted under a valid arrest warrant issued by the High Court in Accra.
In a public notice, the OSP said it had taken note of a transcript of a hearing from a United States immigration court that has been circulated by some media organisations.
According to the office, the document has been interpreted by some to suggest that Mr. Ofori-Atta has not been credibly charged or linked to any wrongdoing in Ghana.
The OSP rejected that interpretation, explaining that it is not involved in Mr. Ofori-Atta’s immigration proceedings in the United States.
It said its involvement relates only to extradition proceedings, which are being handled through Ghana’s Attorney-General as the country’s central authority.
According to the OSP, the extradition documents are not before the US immigration court and the court has no authority to determine whether the criminal charges against Mr. Ofori-Atta are credible.
“The credibility or otherwise of the criminal charges against Mr. Ofori-Atta is a matter for determination by the courts in Ghana,” the OSP stated.
The office explained that there are three separate legal proceedings involving the former minister.
These include the immigration proceedings in the United States concerning his immigration status, extradition proceedings to determine whether he should be returned to Ghana, and the criminal case before the High Court in Accra involving corruption and corruption-related offences.
The OSP reiterated that Mr. Ofori-Atta remains before the High Court in Accra as an accused person and that a valid warrant has been issued for his arrest.
It maintained that he remains a fugitive from justice in Ghana and is required to appear before the High Court to answer the charges against him.
The Special Prosecutor also stressed that the criminal proceedings in Ghana would continue in accordance with the law and the directives of the High Court, whether or not Mr. Ofori-Atta is physically present in the country.
