The directive mandates that all Akwasidae rituals, gatherings, and related activities be conducted exclusively within palaces in Dunkwa-On-Offin. Additionally, the Council has suspended all chieftaincy installation ceremonies until further notice, including the installation of sub-chiefs and other traditional leaders by the conflicting factions.

Security personnel have been deployed to monitor activities and ensure adherence to the directive, highlighting authorities' commitment to preventing further escalation of tensions in the Denkyira Traditional Area.
