Central Regional Minister Samuel Sarpong has warned that the way the various District and Municipal Assemblies in the region are rejecting President John Mahama’s nominees can cause the president to change the rules and nominate persons to act as Chief Executives. “I want you to understand that if the President nominates someone for the position of DCE and you refuse to confirm him the president can set aside your decision and appoint the person in Acting capacity…it is as simple as that,” he told members of the Ajumako-Enyan-Essiam Assembly. The Regional Minister added that “in this world the only law which cannot be changed is the Biblical Ten Commandments…but every law made by man can be changed by man…it’s as simple as that…and nobody has the right to tell us that what we have done is wrong...nobody…it’s as simple as that.” Samuel Sarpong’s statement comes in the wake of repeated rejections of the president’s nominees for the position of DCE/MCE particularly in the Central Region. At Assin North, Alex Antwi Boasiako was rejected and government changed 14 Assembly members before he was confirmed; at Assin South Sabina Appiah-Kubi has been rejected twice and at Ekumfi, Ibrahim Kwaku Dawson was also reject once but has been confirmed by a 35 ‘YES’ to two ‘NO’ votes in the second round, following the warning by the Regional Minister. Meanwhile, at Adumako-Enyan-Essiam, where the minister gave the warning and boasted about the President’s veto powers, Peter Light Koomson was reject in the first round he had to practically beg Assembly members for votes even after the government has changed eight assembly members to pave the way for him to sail through. Upon all the pleadings for votes, Peter Light Koomson still failed to obtain the two-thirds majority of votes required for him to be confirmed, but the presiding member still declared him confirmed, which has triggered court action by some 23 elected members of that assembly.
