A group calling itself Concerned Citizens of Dormaa East in the Bono Region is calling for the rejection of Emmanuel Kofi Agyemang as the District Chief Executive for Dormaa East.

In a 9-page petition to the National MMDCEs Vetting Committee sighted by Soiree News, the group outlined five instances on why Emmanuel Kofi Agyemang who is the immediate past District Chief Executive for the District should not be reappointed.

The petition was signed by Alan Afi, the Spokesperson for the group who is also the Assembly Member for the Preprah Shed Area. The group is pleading with the Vetting Committee to ask Emmanuel Kofi Agyemang over 60 questions outlined in the petition to exonerate himself.

The petition alleged that Emmanuel Kofi Agyemang has sold the Assembly’s Grader and Nissan Patrol vehicle to himself without following the guidelines in the Public Procurement Act (Act 663 as Amended), Asset Disposal Act and the Auction’s Act, 1989(PNDCL, 230) and the proceeds from the sale of the two vehicles have not been accounted for.

The group is also appealing to the Committee to reject the former DCE based on his comments. According to them, Hon. Emmanuel Kofi Agyemang after the declaration of the 2020 election results met with the NPP constituency executives at his residency and stated that he is above the position of District Chief Executive and urged interested persons to apply when the position is advertised but has made a turnaround when his bid to some ministerial positions failed.

They also indicated that the immediate past District Chief Executive, Emmanuel Kofi Agyemang has a poor human relationship and does not support the party supporters. “The Aide to Emmanuel Kofi Agyemang confirmed on radio that ” The biggest problem that the Bono Regional NPP Executive and the Constituency Executives have with the DCE is that you will go to the residency and you will not get water to drink, not to talk about tissue paper at the residency”, they added.

They further added that he is sideling some of the party supporters.

Meanwhile Hon. Emmanuel Kofi Agyemang reacting to this to Soiree News Nana Ama Asiedu denied all the allegations levelled against saying the Assembly’s vehicles were sold following due process of auction and have necessary documents available to that effect.

On the issue of poor human relationship, the acting DCE said that was a total lie as everyone in his District will debunk such claims.

He was however quick to add that, the spokesperson of the group who signed the petition is an NDC organizer and does not belong to the NPP hence he believes their action was just a plot to make him unpopular as far as the MMDCEs appointment is concerned.
