Stop presenting yourselves as chiefs, Ga Traditional Council tells Chamba group

“The Ga Traditional Council restrains and cautions the leadership and members of the Chamba group to immediately cease and desist from using the title ‘Chief’ or any related chieftaincy title,” the statement said.

The Ga Traditional Council has cautioned members of a group identifying itself as “Chamba” to stop presenting themselves as chiefs within the Ga State, warning that the use of unauthorised traditional titles undermines Ghana’s chieftaincy system.

The statement, signed by Registrar Evelyn Amewotse on behalf of the Ga Mantse and President of the Ga Traditional Council, HRM King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, said chieftaincy titles can only be used by persons recognised under Ghana’s legal and customary framework.
