The Dzasetse and acting Asere Mantse of the Ga State Council (GTC), Nii Amarkai III, caused endless outburst of hilarity albeit under somber circumstances when he occasionally interlaced his address with expletives during the formal installation of the �new� Ga Mantse, Boni Nii Tackie Adam Latse II on Monday. Formerly the Ga Traditional Council, the GTC was thrown into a crisis situation over the weekend when the Stool House was raided and a �new� Ga Mantse installed, giving the Traditional Area two occupants to the throne. With King Tackie Tawiah III who was installed in 2006 still in office, a rival king, Boni Nii Tackie Adama Latse II was enstooled amidst the firing of musketry, drumming and dancing. Nii Amarkai III, who outdoored the �new� king at a well-attended press conference on Monday, emphatically stated that he had not directed nor instructed any of the four Ga royal families (Teiko Tsuru We, Amugi We, Abola Piam and Takie Kommey We) from which a king is chosen, to elect a prospective ruler, except the Abola Piam family. �I�ve never in my life given any drink to anybody to install a Ga Mantse for the state. I gave the drink to Abola Piam for them to provide a Ga Mantse and I�m responsible here at this Ga Traditional Council,�� he said. Waxing extensively on Ga history, the Asere Mantse claimed ownership of most Ga lands eventhough he declared himself to be penurious. �It�s a government acquired land � acquired from me, Nii Amarkai� I�m the owner of the land� of which even the compensation has not been paid for me to become rich. And I know from today, maybe the Ga Mantse elect will make sure I get my money back for the land,� the Dzasetse prayed.
