A section residents in the Weija-Gbewe Constituency of the Greater Accra Region have appealed to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, to consider the good works done by the current Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Weija-Gbewe Municipal Assembly, Mr Patrick Kumor, and retain him in his second term.
 
According to them, their MCE performed extremely well in his first term and believes he will do even much better for the area if he is maintained.

The constituents made up of prominent chiefs, academicians, traditional office holders, faith-based organisational leaders, market folks and youth in random investigations conducted by Soireenews disclosed that changing Mr Kumor will cause a delay in the progress of Weija-Gbewe Municipality considering the services he has rendered to the municipality since his appointment.

They asserted that the MCE has done nothing wrong to be changed and has served the people well since he assumed office.

They were in the view that any attempt by sacking the MCE will bring a retrogression in the area.

However, in this regard, the constituents who are happy about working with Mr Kumor pleaded with President Akufo-Addo to give him another four years.

"We are saying that our President to renew the mandate of the MCE and if he is not able to perform then we change him but not now," said by some market men and women in the area.

They pointed out that the MCE has initiated pragmatic measures to complete most of the abandoned health, road, water and sanitation, education, electricity projects under the previous National Democratic Congress (NDC) since he took the office.

They mentioned that under the administration of Weija Gbawe MCE, a total of four CHPS (Community Health-Based Planning and Services) compounds have been built in the municipality, with the help of Honorable Tina Gifty Naa Ayele Mensah (Member of Parliament of Weija Gbawe and the Deputy Minister of Health).

To ease the pressure on Akawe, they said the MCE has ordered for  the construction of the CHPS compounds for satellite areas that will require other health posts.” The places they mentioned included Oblogo, Tetegu, and Weija.
