The Assembly Member for Morontuo in the Bosome Freho District of the Ashanti Region, Maxwell De-graft Boakye, is unhappy with delays in the execution of developmental projects in the area, blaming it on the suspension of the District Chief Executive, Yaw Danso.
He laments the assembly's discussions on development projects have been fruitless due to the absence of a chief executive.
"Even as an Assembly Member whose office is the assembly, where we can go to discuss developmental issues, since there is no District Chief Executive, who would you even hold a meeting with to discuss developmental projects?" he quizzed.
Yaw Danso was suspended on October 15, 2022, over a leaked tape of his alleged involvement in illegal mining.
According to Mr Boakye, the Ashanti Regional minister, who has been delegated to act in Yaw Danso’s absence, has not been to the district.
"We have no DCE, and the Regional Minister who is acting as the caretaker has never stepped foot in the district. We have no one to call on for any developmental project in the Bosome Freho district," he complained.
Speaking to the host of 'Kuro Yi Mu Nsem' on Nhyira Fm, Nana Kwadwo Jantuah, the Assembly Member, said the Assembly was lagging behind in terms of development.
He thus appealed to the President to appoint a new DCE.
Mr. Boakye also indicated that the suspended DCE still has access to his official vehicle.
"Hon. Yaw Danso is still using the official vehicle of the government even though he has been suspended as the District Chief Executive of Bosome Freho," he claimed.
