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.

AFTER YEARS OF MINING IN AKWATIA – GHANA’S NEW ARTIFICIAL LAKE, THE ASUBONE STORY AND OUR TOURISM DRIVE ABSTRACT.... H. BRAKO

  AFTER YEARS OF MINING IN AKWATIA – GHANA’S NEW ARTIFICIAL LAKE, THE ASUBONE STORY AND OUR TOURISM DRIVE  ABSTRACT.... H. BRAKO Diamonds were first discovered in the Gold Coast Colony (Ghana) near the Birim River close to the town of Abomosu in 1919. The Birim diamond discoveries led mining companies to invest along that river. However, not until 1929 did organized diamond mining begin following additional diamond discoveries made by Ghanaian prospectors in the gravels of Bediebewu streams near Tarkwa. In 1924, the Consolidated African Selection Trust (CAST) was formed and became the major diamond mining company in Ghana. Over 2 million carats were mined by CAST from 1924 to 1939. CAST’s early success led to investment in other diamond exploration and mining ventures in West Africa particularly in Ghana – resulting in the establishment of Great Consolidated Diamond (GCD).  1n 1963 Lake Asubone was created artificially in Asubone near Akwatia in Denkyembour District of Gh...
