Government�s explanation on why state protocol decided to truncate the long-held norm of pouring libation at national ceremonial functions, especially during Independence Anniversary celebrations, contrary to historical practice, has not gone down well with the Ga�Dangme Youth. Since the assumption of the NDC administration headed by President John Mills, the traditional process has been missing in all national events especially Independence. The recent 55th independence celebration was no exception, with government machinery citing the Ga chieftaincy dispute as reason for the omission. However, the Ga�Dangme youth will not accept this explanation. Its Vice President, Nii Maama Maakwei told Xfm 95.1 the act has been deliberate. �Last year when we raised this issue, they said it was a mistake; that it would be done this year. Today, they are talking about dispute," he fumed, adding that the explanation cannot be tenable because the traditional priesthood, which is responsible for the prayers is battling with no dispute. "In terms of prayers, it is done by the traditional priests; the chiefs have nothing to do with the prayers. Within the priesthood, there is no dispute�, Nii Maama had said.
