The Manhyia Palace has given government a one-week ultimatum to remove the embattled Mayor of Kumasi Kojo Bonsu from office or face its wrath.
One of the sub chiefs in Kumasi Otumfuo Asafohene Baffour Achemfuor Akowua told Kumasi-based Ultimate FM that government must heed their calls and replace Mr. Bonsu before next week.
The ultimatum comes on the back of an apology letter by Kojo Bonsu to the Kumasi Traditional Council after he allegedly took a unilateral decision to remove Amoamanhene, Nana Agyenim Boateng from the Kejetia Market project board without informing the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
In his apology letter, the KMA boss said: “I wish to render an unqualified apology to Asantehene Otumfour Osei Tutu II and Nananom for any actions and inactions on my part, which may have incurred their displeasure.”

Meanwhile, the Ashanti regional minister John Akon has said that the Chief Executive of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) Kojo Bonsu is still at post.
This was after initial reports that Bonsu had been asked to step down for the regional minister to act in his stead until a new Chief Executive is appointed.
