Sekyere Kumawu District Under Fire As NPP Group Calls For The Removal Of DCE
Some aggrieved ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) members, sympathizers and citizens of Sekyere Kumawu district in Ashanti region of Ghana are calling for the removal of their district chief executive (DCE), Samuel Addai Agyekum, for having "woefully failed" as a government representative.
At a press conference held at Bodomase, the group accused the DCE Samuel Addai Agyekum of campaigning against the Member of Parliament for the area. They said the DCE attempts to support an independent candidate to unseat his own NPP member of parliament (MP) to the extent of insulting the MP and refusing to heed influential regional members of the party's advice to resolve the issue, among other attitudes that have retrogressed development in the party's stronghold.
The P.R.O of the protesting NPP youth, Nana Sarfo said: “all the party members are gathered here with our petition to be presented to the party chairman.”
'We want this petition to reach the regional Chairman, Chief of Staff, Local Government Minister that we do not want our DCE again. His work has come to an end, he is doing so many things against us, he is behind the Shirt and blouse that took place here. If we had joked the MP would have lost.”
The group is, therefore, pleading with the president to replace Mr. Agyekum with a "proactive, industrious, well connected, and ready to work in harmony with the MP" person to ensure the development of the district and the party's popularity in the constituency.
