Even if I decide not to work here in Kumasi, I can still fire from Accra. I will honour the invitation but you will clap for Lawyer Ampaw on Monday. I am going with the truth. Otumfuo supports the truth and I am going to lay bare the facts,” Lawyer Ampaw told Aduanaba Kofi Asante Ennin on GhanAkoma Tuesday, January 23.

Mr. Ampaw, during the deliberation was also invited for a derogatory remarks passed on some chiefs which video has since gone viral on social media.
“Some chiefs in the Ashanti region are corrupt,” part of his statement as captured in the video read.
