PRESS RELEASE: CONCERNED ELECTED ASSEMBLY MEMBERS OF NZEMA EAST ASSEMBLY (NEMA) CALL ON PRESIDENT NANA AKUFO ADDO NOT TO RENOMINATE HON FRANK OKPENYEN AS MCE

Published by Kobby vice.

We, bring you greetings from the troubled waters of the Nzema East Municipal Assembly.
As elected assembly members, we place the development of the municipality as our priority and will not be in any position to sacrifice the trust the good people of Nzema East have entrusted in us for an incompetent MCE who will further derail the already under developed municipal.
Ladies and gentlemen, despite the great zeal and support from the paramount chiefs and  citizens of NEMA towards the development of our municipality, the MCE in the person of Frank Okpenyen has demonstrated well enough to the assembly members and the general populace that, he is incompetent to continue representing the president.

Forward march the progress and development of NEMA, Frank does not deserve to be re-nominated by his Excellency the President of the Republic of Ghana, with reasons outlined below;


1.      Lack of Respect for all: Hon Frank Okpenyen has demonstrated the most disrespectful dispensation of leadership by any MCE ever in the history of our municipality. He for example, refused to select any government nominee from the Ajomoro, Gwira, Nsein and Upper Axim Traditional Councils as has been the practice in the past because he had issues with the  paramount chiefs. It will be recalled that his action prompted the Awulemo to write a letter to the Regional Minister for redress. However, Hon Frank Okpenyen remained in-situ.

It will be good for Mr. President, to know that Hon Frank Okpenyen is not in the good books of the four Traditional authorities mentioned earlier. Just three weeks ago on 8th May 2021, he refused to honor an official invitation by Nana Ette Agrade of Gwira Banso for the Sod Cutting ceremony of his new ultramodern palace, a programme which the Minister for Chieftancy and Religious affairs, together with the MP travelled all the way from Accra to attend.

Hon Frank Okpenyen has also throughout his tenure showed gross disrespect towards the assembly members and had issues with any assembly member who tried to enquire for clarity of activities of assembly.


 
2.      LACK OF TRANSPARENCY AND CONSULTATION: Ladies and gentlemen, it is an established fact that, lack of transparency breeds corruption and that is the exact situation we experienced under his leadership.

He only took decisions with the former MP Hon Catherine Afeku without consulting majority of the assembly members who are the major stakeholders. This notwithstanding, led to the abysmal performance of the assembly in all aspects. The unfortunate part of it is that, the use of the assembly common fund is not transparent as the disbursement is only known by the MCE and the former MP. We can categorically say assembly members have not been involved in the statutory management of the district assembly common fund for the last four years.


 
3.      POOR PERFORMANCE ON THE MMDA RANKING:
Ladies and gentlemen, it is sad and we say this with pain, that under the leadership of Hon Frank Okpenye, our dear municipal was placed on 215th position out of 216 districts by the Local Government Services, in its performance and evaluation report on MMDAs. This claim is evident on page xiii of the Local Government Service’s 2018 Annual Performance Evaluation Report of Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies which was published in 2019.

This poor performance is nothing but a dent on the image of the assembly members and by extension the whole of the municipality especially, as our sister districts i.e Ellembelle and Jomoro excelled by being part of first 100 MMDAs. We believe his continue stay in office would deepen our woes by further pushing us to the bottom of the MMDAs assessment ranking in the future which we, the assembly members wouldn’t want to be part of this shame.


 
4.      LACKADAISICAL ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE FIGHT AGAINST ILLEGAL MINING (GALAMSEY): Ladies and Gentlemen of the press, as the nation is being bedeviled with activities of illegal mining hence the president’s commitment to fighting it head on, Our MCE who doubles as the head of Municipal Security chairman has shown little or no interest in clamping down on these activities destroying our water bodies and environment which sustain the lives of the good people of Nzema East.

As we speak, we still have people mining on the Ankobra river with impunity and the MCE sees no urgency in nipping this canker of galamsey in the bud. We find his continuous stay in office as a promotion and endorsement of galamsey which undoubtedly, is a threat to the lives of the good people of Nzema East.


 
5.      PREMIX FUEL MESS: The siphoning and diversion of premix funds meant for the community. Hon Frank Okpenyen for his four years as MCE has never accounted to the good people of the premix communities on their share of the premix allocations as was the case during the previous administration where projects such as the Apowsika Community Clinic, Brawire Landing Beach Shed, Upper Axim Canopies and plastic chairs are still visible for account purposes.

It is believed the hundreds of thousands of Ghana Cedis  meant for communal projects has ended up in private pockets and sparked some lavish lifestyles and a big rush for properties among himself and people close to him.
 
6.      ABUSE OF POWER: Hon Frank Okpenyen is characterized with the abuse of power with his constant call for the arrest of people as a tool of intimidation and act that has led to an atmosphere of tension in the municipality.
 
7.      NOT UP TO THE TASK: Hon Frank Okpenyen has from day one of his assumption of office not been able to man the high office in the manner which ought to be. The various committees and local councils at the assembly level are still dysfunctional because members have not been allocated funds for full operation of the assembly, rendering the once vibrant Municipal Assembly ineffective and currently in a state of coma.


There are many more issues but time wouldn’t permit us but with the aforementioned reasons, we will plead and appeal to the President of the Republic of Ghana His Excellency Nana Addo to reject the re-nomination of Hon Frank Okpenye as the next MCE for NEMA because he isn’t fit to continue to hold that reputable office and we would want to respectively, tell his Excellency the President that in the unlikely event, if he is re-nominated, we the concerned assembly members would use the powers vested in us to reject him because we wouldn’t want to be part of an endorsement of a failure.


Thank you and God bless our homeland Ghana, God bless Nzema East Municipality!

MMDCE VETTING COMMITTEE IN BONO EAST HAVE NOT BEEN FAIR TO TECHIMAN NORTH ASPIRANTS

Published by Kobby vice.

The vetting committee of MMDCE in Bono East have not been fair to the aspirants of Techiman North. The committee which is chair by the regional minister (Hon. Kwasi Adu Gyan) and supported by the regional chairman Mr. Thomas Adu Appiah), President rep (Mr. Justice Kodua) and National executive committee rep ( Nana B) has disappointed us as a party in Bono East.

Why are we saying this? The regional minister’s aid ( Mr. Isaac Sarpong told us on classic FM morning show 115 people filed their CV in the whole region and gave us the breakdown, he said Techiman North constituency 9 people filed their CV and they must appear before the vetting committee.

Again, he also said the date for submitting the CV is closed and no CV will be collect. After the vetting on 20th May, 2021, as at 10:47pm, only 9 people appear before the vetting committee and no lady was part of them. But on Saturday, 22nd May, 2021, the regional chairman Mr. Thomas Adu Appiah said Techiman North is no more 9 but now 10. He said a woman had submitted her CV. She submitted it late which the constituency chairman was not aware. Her name is Mrs. Akosua Kuffour.

Again, according to the constituency chairman who was the rep from the constituency said on classic FM that no woman came for the vetting so far as the vetting is concern. But if a woman came for the vetting for that one he is not aware of it and no one called him to come and vet someone. How can this happen In Techiman North? They have disgrace Techiman North and Bono East as a whole. This has let us bear with the Alliance for Sustainable development and Participatory governance, executive director (Nana Korang Antwi Boasiako) said that the regional minister and the regional chairman has hand in the appointment of MMDCE in Bono East and this has let us know that it is true.

How can someone who did not involved herself in the 2020 general election campaign enjoy its benefits.
The regional minister and the regional chairman have failed woefully. They did not follow the guidelines of the President. We are telling them to eliminate her name from the list or else they will hear from us the grassroots.



We don’t need her to be our DCE for Techiman North. Are they telling us that there is function in Techiman North? We want to tell them that Techiman North NPP doesn’t belong to them rather the grassroots of the party. If they continue to do this in the region, breaking the 8 will not be possible in Bono East. Together we can win the of Techiman North back.

South African billionaire Motsepe’s to help rid CAF of corruption tag

Published by : Kobby Vice

New CAF president Patrice Motsepe has a big task of leading the continents football body out of years of corruption and scandal after being elected president on Friday by acclamation.

The Confederation of African football over the years has been hit with a series of scandals involving top officials banned from holding positions and even contesting in the elections held on Friday.

Former CAF president Ahmad Ahmad, Former first Vice Kwesi Nyantakyi,  Constant Omari, Ngaissona and others have been banned over the years for breaching the association’s ethics code of ethics.

Ahmad recently had his banned reduced to two years from five by CAS and also banned from taking part in Friday’s election.

Interim CAF president Constant Omari is currently under investigation following his involvement in the decision to amend the billion-dollar Lagardere TV contract. He was barred from standing for the Fifa Council in the elections held on Friday in Morocco.

Other CAF officials over the years have been ousted from the association or disgraced due to issues of corruption or ethical breaches.

With the help of FIFA president Infantino, Motsepe takes over the CAF presidency with Senegalese Augustin Senghor and Mauritanian Ahmed Yahya becoming vice-presidents and Anouma a special advisor.

Unlike previous African football leaders, who came from national association backgrounds, his connection with the sport stems from owning record 2016 African champions Mamelodi Sundowns.

The Mamelodi Sundowns owner has a daunting task to restore the image of CAF and the respect of CAF as well by riding off any form of corruption.

Motsepe will be the first South African to lead CAF, following in the footsteps of two Egyptians, a Sudanese, an Ethiopian, a Cameroonian and a Malagasy.
