Some Chiefs in the Nsawam Adoagyeri Municipality in the Eastern Region, especially Sakyikrom are passionately appealing to the President of the Republic of Ghana, NanaAddoDankwaAkufoAddo and the Local Government Ministry to appoint Mr. Emmanuel Owusu as the next Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) because he is a ‘unifier, discipline, selfless person’.
They believed, that would have a great impact and also help improve the development and the livelihoods of the Residents in the Municipality.
Speaking at a press conference called by the Sakyikrom Traditional Authority, the Gyasehene of the Sakyikrom, Nana OwusuAduomi II explained that, itis time for NsawamAdoagyri as well as Sakyikrom to also benefit from the selection of MCE.
“If the Municipality is led by a discipline, selfless, dedicated and a trust worthy person to lead the Municipality as they weren’t satisfied with the performance of the outgoing MCE. The chiefs therefore propose Mr. Emmanuel Owusu Arthur Accountant by profession to be considered as the next MCE for the Municipality.
The chiefs claimed their result is not solely based on the fact that; Mr. Emmanuel Owusu is a son of their land but also, they’ve observed that he has what it takes to be a leader.
They added that, there is no harmonic relation between the MP for the area and the incumbent MCE and itaffected the NPP votes in the constituency in the 2020 general election.
Such unhealthy relation almost stifled progress of the activities of the constituency.
