NPP has no respect for Sekondi-Takoradi

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) says the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has no respect for the people of Sekondi-Takoradi.

According to the NDC, the metropolis is believed to be a stronghold of the NPP and no matter how they treat the people of Sekondi-Takoradi, they will still vote for them.

This comes after the Metropolitan Chief Executive (MCE), Mr Abdul Issah Mumin was suspended for an alleged traffic offence and assaulting a public officer.

He was arraigned before court and the case has since been adjourned to the 23rd of June 2022.

The NDC, are however calling for a qualified person to replace the suspended MCE because his suspension has retarded development and it feels the people are being punished for the wrongdoing of the MCE.

“Our investigations indicate that nothing is going on at the Assembly and the workers can’t voice out of Nana sackphobia.”

Press Statement
For Immediate Release

20th June 2022

The National Democratic Congress in the Sekondi Constituency wish to call on His excellency the President to as quickly as possible give the people of Sekondi – Takoradi a Metropolitan Chief Executive to steer the affairs of the Metropolis.

We are of the view that the New Patriotic Party have no respect for the people of Sekondi – Takoradi, because to them the metropolis is their stronghold and no matter what they do to them they will forever vote for the party.

Why should the people of Sekondi be punished for the alleged wrongdoing of an MCE?

How can a Metropolis like Sekondi Takoradi be treated this way, is it that, there is no qualified Npp person to replace the suspended MCE? If that is the case then NDC has a lot of qualified people who can do the job and do it better, so they shd contact us.

There are also a lot of qualified non-partisan citizens in the metropolis who are more than qualified to do the job.

Where are the so-called men the New Patriotic Party was making a lot of noise about during the 2016 election campaign?

If NPP has nobody and still wants an NPP person then the president should reinstate the suspended MCE and allow him to do his work as he defends himself in the court.

Our investigations indicate that nothing is going on at the Assembly and the workers can’t voice out of Nana sackphobia.

A lot of documents are crying for signatures and the regional minister who is acting is overloaded with a lot of regional assignments thereby neglecting the job at the metropolitan assembly.
Because of the absence of the MCE no powerful govt.

The official went round to inspect the areas in the metropolis that were affected by the floods.

Chocked drainages that needed to be cleared before the rains were left as it is.

Again potholes that needed fixing have been left to become manholes and gutters thereby adding on to the already huge traffic on the Effia- Nkwanta to Takoradi, now it takes almost about an hour to drive along the stretch whiles hitherto it took some 25 to 30 minutes.

Surprisingly potholes on the roads are now being filled with quarry dust aka 040 at a time that rain is seriously falling, how can quarry dust stand this strong and powerful downpour? this is just a waste of taxpayers’ funds.

As a developmental-oriented social party, our main concern is the development of the people and where they live so we are calling on the president to immediately give the people of Sekondi Takoradi a new MCE or reinstate the suspended chief executive.
God bless Sekondi Takoradi
God bless Ghana
