President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has nominated five more persons for the positions of Municipal and District Chief Executives (MDCEs) and has has also given 15 rejected DCE nominees, including Sarah Dugbakie Pobee of Ada East, the chance to represent their various assemblies again, subject to the approval of the members.
Hon. Sarah Pobee, a former assembly member for Fiagbedu electoral area in Ada-Foah, failed to garner the required 24 votes needed to be confirmed as the District Chief Executive when she lost out 13-23 in the voting by members of the Ada East District Assembly back in May. Nine government appointees to the District Assembly were subsequently dismissed by the President who has reposed massive dose of confidence in Madam Pobee by nominating her again for consideration.
A press release signed by the Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Hon. Hajia Alima Mahama, said President Akufo-Addo made the nominations in accordance with Article 243 (1) of the 1992 Constitution and Section 20 (1) of the Local Governance Act (Act 936).
The nominees, it said, include Musah Issah, who when confirmed shall become the DCE for the Gushegu District Assembly; Abu Mohammed, West Mamprusi District Assembly; Hajia Hawa Ninchemah, Bawku Municipal Assembly; Kwasi Bonzoh, Ellembele District Assembly and Kate Ametefe for Adaklu District Assembly.
The 15 nominees are George Kyei Baffour, Asante Akim Central Municipal Assembly; Abraham Mbanye, Sene East District Assembly; Felicia Aba Hagan, Abura/Asebu/Kwamankese District Assembly; Florence Governor, Ayensuano District Assembly; Ebenezer Tetteh Kupualor, Yilo Krobo Municipal Assembly; Jennifer Dede Afagbedzi, La Nkwantanag Madina Municipal Assembly; Sarah Dugbakie Pobee, Ada East District Assembly and J.K. Alhassan, Bunkprugu-Yunyoo District Assembly.
The rest are Ella Boateng, South Dayi District Assembly; Richard Collins Arku, North Tongu District Assembly; Andrew Teddy Ofori, Hohoe Municipal Assembly; Millicent Kabuki Carboo, Biakoye District Assembly; Leonelson Adzidogah, Akatsi South District Assembly; Emmanuel Louis Agama, South Tongu District Assembly and Eric Muah, Jomoro District Assembly.
The release, announcing their re-nominations, also said, “In view of the above, you are kindly requested to liaise with the regional Electoral Commission (EC) to conduct the confirmation of the nominated District Chief Executives.”
I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s equally educative and amusing, and without a doubt,
you have hit the nail on the head. The problem is
something that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about.
I am very happy I found this in my search for something concerning this.
Hello would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with?
I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a hard time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design and style
seems different then most blogs and I’m looking
for something unique. P.S Sorry
for being off-topic but I had to ask!
I need to to thank you for this very good read!! I definitely loved every little bit of it.
I have got you book-marked to look at new stuff you post…
Highly energetic article, I liked that bit. Will there be a part 2?
I have been surfing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found any
interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me.
In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be
much more useful than ever before.
