Bonsu is reported to have taken a unilateral decision to remove the representative of the Asanteman Traditional Council, Amoamanhene, Nana Agyenim Boateng from the Kejetia Market project board without informing the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
He was called to the palace to for the matter to be investiagted by he failed ton show up. The Traditional Council therefore called for his removal.
In an interview with pulse.com.gh the Ashanti Regional Minister John Akon said he was oblivious of any communication which has asked Bonsu to step down. “As far as I’m concerned the president has not spoken, there is no such letter so I’m not aware of anything like that. Kojo Bonsu is the substantive Metropolitan Chief Executive for Kumasi, there is no other person as of now” Akon said.

Even though Bonsu has apologised to Traditional Council, it is yet to respond to his apology. In his apology letter, the KMA boss said: “I wish to render an unqualified apology to Asantehene Otumfour Osei Tutu II and Nananom for any actions and inactions on my part, which may have incurred their displeasure.”
Akon said the acceptance or refusal of the apology letter is left to the Council to decide even though they implore them to accept Kojo Bonsu’s apology. “It is left for the traditional council, we can not talk for them. He has done what is right by apologising, hoping for everybody to hear that he has shown remorse so it is left for the traditional council to react. It is my hope that if somebody has shown remorse it will touch their hearts” he added.
