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.
