The Queen mother of the Drobo Traditional Area [Nana Yaa Ansuaa] has reportedly called for the flogging of one Mr. Barfour Asare, who happens to be among the NPP commentators in the Jaman South constituency in the Bono Region, over his foul words.
Mr. Barfour had to be flogged after he used unprintable words on the queen mother and elders of the traditional council as he couldn’t come to terms with the defeat of the sitting MP Hon. Yaw Afful of the NPP, who lost to NDC’s Hon Okofo Darteh.
Following that the Drobo Traditional Council was accused by Mr. Barfour Asare and other NPP functionaries in the area of masterminding their defeat.
This prompted the traditional authorities to give him 40 strong stokes in the palace to serve as a deterrent to all other political communicators, who in the name of defending their parties bring local authorities into disrepute.
He was also given a stern warning to desist from the use of foul words on the council when undertaking his political duties else risk being dismissed from the Drobo Traditional Area.
