Dignitaries and some of the Hon. Members ushering into office
In a short but impressive speech, the
Presiding Member of the Assembly Hon. Asare Antwi called for togetherness
amongst Assembly Members and pleaded with them to leave everything that might
have happened during their elections in the past and focus on the good of the
people who voted for them. He added that, partisanship tendencies should end
with elections and after elections whatever must be done, must be done together
for the betterment of all the people, the town and the country as a whole not a
group of people.
He expressed optimism and wished them
all well in the discharge of their duties.
The
presiding member of the Assembly Hon. Asare Antwi Addressing the members
The municipal chief executive for Tano
South, Hon. Collins Offinam Takyi speaking to the gathering congratulated all
members of the newly constituted committee. He mentioned that most times, Zonal
Councils fail to perform their constitutional mandates because of lack of
togetherness. He said after they assume office, they form factions and oppose
each to others instead of coming together to work for the development of the
people who voted for them.
The
MCE for Tano South, Hon. Collins Offinam Takyi speaking at the inauguration
He mentioned that they are agents of
developments in their community and entreated them to take upon the task of
developing their community in their small ways and not resorting to government
for the things their power allows them to do.
Hon. Takyi mentioned that when leadership
is mixed with politics, it hinders development, he advised the members to put
away their party colours and focus on improving the livelihood of the people in
the community.
