SEGE: Nene Dameh Agbewornu II, the Chief of Sege, has called on assembly members to expedite the confirmation process for metropolitan, municipal, or district chief executives (MMDCEs) to facilitate community development. He emphasized the importance of prompt confirmations to ensure progress within the districts and the nation.
According to Ghana News Agency, Nene Agbewornu highlighted the need for districts that have not yet elected presiding members to do so swiftly, citing delays in development due to the absence of leadership at the local government level. He expressed concerns over the ongoing politicization of these elections, noting that it hampers the effective functioning of district assemblies.
In an interview at Sege-Nakomkorpe, Nene Agbewornu expressed his disappointment with the failure of several district assemblies to elect presiding members despite multiple attempts. He attributed this to power struggles and political interference, which have obstructed the timely election process. He specifically mentioned the Ada West District, where efforts to elect a presiding member have been unsuccessful, despite numerous attempts.
Nene Agbewornu urged assembly members to prioritize the development of their electoral areas, districts, and the country by setting aside political differences. He encouraged them to confirm any proposed MMDCE and presiding member promptly to prevent delays in the growth of their respective metropolitan, municipal, and district assemblies (MMDAs).
