President Akufo-Addo has revoked the appointment of 24 District Chief Executives (DCEs) with immediate effect.
The President explained that this action is in accordance with Article 243 (3) b of the Constitution and section 20 (3) (b) of the Local Government Act, 2014, (Act 936).
In the letter signed on Friday, February 2, the President directed the affected DCEs to be notified of the revocation and instructed that replacements be nominated under separate cover.
The specific reasons for the revocation were not provided in the statement.
Among those affected by the president’s directive are, Martina Appiah Nyantakyi (Ahafo Ano North), Nii Larteh Ollenu (Amansie West), Daniel Owuredu (Nkoranza South), Alhaji Abdulai Adams (Pru East), Gmasombe Jerome Kofi Gyimah, (Sene East), Joseph Aidoo (Awutu Senya West), Samuel Kwame Agyekum (Asuogyaman), Seth Asante (Atiwa West), Comfort Asante (New Juaben North), Isaac Kwadzo Buabeng (Nsawam-Adoagyiri), Daniel Alexander Nii-Noi Adumua (Adentan) and Mohammed Bashiru Kamara (Ga Central).
Why leave out the MCE for Ketu North ? Clueless MCE. He deserves to be sacked immediately. Since 2017 this MCE has connived with some chiefs and Fulani herders and cattle dealers to flood the capital with cattle from our neighbouring countries, destroying crops of our hardworking farmers. Victims have no place for redress, as the MCE cares less and not ready to listen to any grievances.
The MCE has also connived and encouraged Togolese sand contractors who bring dozens of tipper trucks to win sand in Penyi and other areas of the Municipality. Large and vast expanse of farm bland have been destroyed by this massive environmental degradation in favour of kickbacks paid to the MCE and his cabal.
The MCE refuses to listen to people’s grievances and doesn’t consult key stakeholders before taking decisions.
The President must sack him immediately to rid the Municipality of dangerous individuals.
List not complete please, add more.
