Ntori Agyabeng, the District Chief Executive (DCE) of Fanteakwa South District in the Eastern Region has reacted to some allegations leveled against him by some Assembly members in the area.
In recent times, Assembly Members in the District have accused the DCE of an abysmal performance and also creating an unhealthy relationship in the area during his two-years term in office.
Despite that, the aforementioned Assembly Members are believed to have pleaded with President Akufo-Addo not to retain him in his second term in office.
Addressing the media , Mr. Agyabeng has denied those allegations, he said “I don’t even know the said assembly members who are clamoring for my exit from office and I want to emphasize that any assembly members that will claim that I underperformed in office or did not promote unity are a liar. Since I assumed office as the DCE I have united all assembly members irrespective of their parties”.
According to him, he is surprised at the Presiding Member whom he had worked with in the past years of spearheading their press conference.
“I have been able to do a lot in my two years in office. The common fund I received was used for a lot of projects and is of the view all funds the District received were properly used. I didn’t use the money anyhow”.
Giving an overview of what he has been able to achieve in his two-years term, he indicated that he has constructed six-unit classroom blocks in areas such as Nsutem, Osino, Osama, Hemang, and Pimpimso.
He added that uncompleted school projects he inherited have been done and also providing them with desks.
