The Western North Regional President for the Ghana Association Of Assembly Members, (GAAM) who doubles as the Assemblymember for Asawinso ‘A’ in the Bibiani-Anhwiaso-Bekwai Municipality, Honourable Ackah Nelson Frank has stated that they are working to vote against the Municipal and District Chief Executives nominated by the President within the region.
This was made known to the press in an interview after the regional and district executives of the association held a crunch meeting at the regional capital Sefwi Wiawso to deliberate on the welfare of the members.
He continued that the association has submitted several petitions to the President of the Republic concerning their welfare but has turned deaf ears to their entreaty, perhaps the demand for them to take proactive measures in order to meet their requests.
“We have presented several suits to H. E Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo Addo concerning the restitution of our ex gratia, electoral area funds to bolster the various assembly members, procurement of inferior motorbikes for the Assembly members and other relevant demands but he has turned deaf ears to our argument, we are calling on him to act now, “ he reiterated.
Honourable Ackah revealed that the association since its inception has made a reasonable impact on the various MMDAS, notably in the Western North region. Meanwhile, they cannot boast of any progress in the course of their members.
“With our support, MMDAS without presiding members in the region have one now, we can boast of several noteworthy accomplishments by the association but the government want to take us for granted, we yearn to take this medium to voice out our concerns to the President to attend to our plea”.
However, he observed that the government has scorned their applications upon uncountable attempts, but urged the various assembly members to remain obstinate and rally behind the association to fight for the welfare of the members.
“I will plead with the assembly members to rally behind the association to fight for the welfare of the members. We cannot endorse any MMDCE if our demands are not satisfied,” he confirmed.
