Chief Executive Officer of Loud Silence Media, Kevin Ekow Taylor has said that he see no wrong in what two media personalities Afia Pokua and Mona Gucci said about the King of Ashanti Kingdom, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
According to Kevin Taylor, Afia Pokua during the time she made the statement touches on relevant things such as chiefs respecting other chiefs and tribes respecting other tribes, and so he doesn't see anything wrong about it.
He noted that Otumfuo is rather guilty of insulting women. For a chief to say 'kwasia','hwe n'anim, 'hwe ne nan ase' is demeaning to women, and that people of Ashanti should bow down their heads in shame. He also noted that a chief or King should distinguish himself from the ordinary person by his behaviour and utterances, because in the process of fixing issues in palace, a chief or King can destroy his image.
He went further to state that the report by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) done about the issue is irrelevant, as well.
