SWEARING IN OF GOVERNMENT APPOINTEES RESCHEDULED



The much awaited swearing in ceremony to swear into office the seventeen (17) government appointees of the Tano South District Assembly and to nominate two (2) Assembly members to represent the Assembly to form the Regional Electoral College to elect a representative to the council of state for the Brong Ahafo Region has been postponed.
The ceremony which was to be under the District Coordinating Director could not come off when a section of supporters of the New Patriotic Party drumming and singing war songs invaded the premises of the Assembly to disrupt the activity and went to the extent that, they  invoked curses on whoever tried to swear in the seventeen appointees with the reason that the method on which the appointees elected was dubious.
The aggrieved supporters lamented that, the executives of the party did not take into consideration how some members of the Party have toiled for it to win the parliamentary and presidential seats and that those elected have not contributed enough to the party to warrant them becoming Assembly members on government appointees’ ticket and further accused the executives of not consulting other stakeholders of the party like the council of elders in the constituency before their decision.
The District Security Committee had to intervene on the matter to bring sanity to prevail and later postponed the swearing in ceremony until further notice.
