Assembly members in the 26 electoral areas of the Amansie South District of the Ashanti Region have threatened to boycott the confirmation of the president’s nominee for district chief executive.
They are unhappy the district coordinating director, Nana Opoku Ababio, swore in some government appointees into the assembly without their presence.
Assembly Member for Manso Nkran electoral area, Joseph Antwi Prempeh, who led the press conference said it is unfair and disrespectful to the assembly members for such an exercise to be conducted on their blind side.

"We will also kick against the President’s appointment which will need our participation," he said. “Our motive is to support government business but the coordinator's disrespect to us will push us to kick against government business”.
Other assembly members expressed worry that not a single member of the house was invited.
"We represent over four thousand members in our communities in the assembly, so why do you want to sideline our opinions," Ebenezer Oppong of Aboaso electoral area quizzed.

The Coordinating Director for Amansie South District, Nana Opoku Ababio, however, explained that a letter was issued informing the assembly members of the President’s appointment to the district.
"We did not officially invite anybody since this is a short ceremony and it doesn't breach any law. We are on good terms and it's not the intention to underestimate their opinion," he said.
