Assembly members of the Daffiama-Bussie-Issa District Assembly in the Upper West Region, have rejected a list of persons to represent the assembly for the election of the Upper West Representative at the Council of State.
According to the aggrieved assembly members, the rejection of the list on the basis that the Acting District Chief Executive, Nadi Imoro Sanda unilaterally hand-picked names through the District Co-ordinating Director, Mr. Abdul-Sallam Kadiri to represent the district in the upcoming Council of State election, which is scheduled for February 12, 2021.
In their view, this action is not in line with article 89(2)(c) of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana.
A statement issued by the aggrieved assembly member of the Daffiama-Bussie-Issa District Assembly said: “On the 23rd of January, 2021, the house presented names to the District Co-ordinating Director as its representatives for the Council of State election. The names were Hon. David Kuubini and Hon Gandiibu Evans.
We have however found out that the said agreed names are nowhere to be found on the list of names the aspirants are served.
We take a strong exception and objection to the names Hon. Nadi Imoro Sanda unilaterally selected to do his bidding in the upcoming Council of State election. We demand that the right thing be done as a matter of urgency.”
According to the assembly members, this single act goes to the acting District Chief Executive who on countless occasions has been accused of causing disunity among assembly members in the Daffima-Bussie-Issa District.
