Assin Central: Polling Station Executives Furious Over Constituency Chairman's Compulsory Contribution To Party Office Construction.


Scores of disgruntled New Patriotic (NPP) polling station executives and electoral area coordinators in the Assin Central Constituency are reeling in anger.

They have accused the Constituency Chairman, Mr. Attakora Amaniampong of forcibly billing them for the construction of a so-called constituency office.

Mr. Amaniampong has pledged to take GH¢200.00 and GH¢500.00 from each polling station executive and electoral area coordinators respectively, some aggrieved executives claimed in an exclusive interview.

“We are about 520 executives in the Constituency including electoral area coordinators, and I can tell you everyone is upset with the decision but we are scared to voice it out because the executives might victimize us.

Strangely, Mr. Amaniampong said at the meeting where the incomprehensible decision was taken that anyone who is not well with that decision to lodge a complaint to the party for redress but could a political suicide for any dissatisfied person.

The aggrieved executives said: “We are not paid for the position we occupy; hence it is difficult for us to raise the amount considering the troubling times.”

The system is hard for some of us. We have raised concerns for the amount to be reduced to at least ¢200.00 for coordinators and ¢100.00 for polling station executives, but the constituency chairman has blatantly refused to listen to our plea.

According to them, the Chairman's intentions are noble as it would reform the structures at the grassroots, but not this time.

To them, they know and understand the party structure has to be well grounded to stretch our electoral fortunes and the obligation on us to contribute and support the party financially but not in these hard times.

“How, and where do you want us to get this money before 25th December, knowing very well that we are heading to Christmas, and we have to get something for our families?

Meanwhile, the Constituency Chairman, Mr Attakora Amaniampong has affirmed to the said contributions but stated basically that, the decision was taken and accepted during a party meetings.

He again said, if the decision is not well with anyone, the person should leave it as such but they are working according to the party's structure.

Parents and residents in and around the community are appealing for urgent assistance due to the deteriorating condition of their classroom blocks .  The school's infrastructure has become unsafe, forcing pupils to learn under dire circumstances. Parts of the aluminum roofing sheets are rusting away, while their remains hang loosely on the tiny erected concrete pillars. Class sessions end abruptly whenever the clouds gather.  “Our roof is ripping off. And when it rains, it leaks into our classroom, so we have to end classes.  “When it leaks, our books get wet and we are not able...

How could you fall for a lady with such long fingers nails? – Kennedy Agyapong to Kan Dapaah

How could you fall for a lady with such long fingers nails? – Kennedy Agyapong to Kan Dapaah Member of Parliament of Assin Central Kennedy Agyapong is of the view that Albert Kan Dapaah should not be crucified over the amorous video with a lady identified as Chantelle Kujawu but is wondering how the National Security minister could fall for a lady with long and scary finger nails. The legislator making a submission on Oman FM indicated that he is “not clean”, neither is any man, hence will be unfair and hypocritical to castigate his fellow man for engaging in such an act. “Let the clean cast the stone,” he said but hilariously questioned why Mr. Kan Dapaah could not fall for something better. “I looked at the lady’s finger nails and wondered ‘what could National Security minister be doing with such finger nails?’” Like Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram Samuel Nartey George and satirist Kwame A Plus, Mr. Agyapong suggested that the incident was orchestr...
