Kumasi, Jan. 29, Ghanadot/GNA - Some
National Democratic Congress (NDC) youth in Ashanti have
appealed to President John Evans Atta Mills to endeavour
to consider youthful, competent, approachable, humble
and hardworking people for positions.
They insisted that under no circumstances should the
President allow himself to be persuaded or pressurized
to choose people, who were not qualified for positions
and that those nominated should first and foremost be
true party members, who were in good standing and also
of substance.
A statement signed by Mr Ernest Brogya Genfi,
Spokesperson for the NDC youth activists in the Ashanti
Region, and issued in Kumasi, expressed the hope that
the President would use his discretion in choosing
nominees for key positions.
In a related development, Mr Joseph Salifu Boarle, a
Leading Member of the NDC in the Asawase Constituency,
has criticised the struggle among some supporters for
the position of the Kumasi Metropolitan Chief Executive
(MCE).
He warned that the Party had its own criteria in
considering people for the position and said it behooved
the Ashanti Regional Steering Committee of the Party to
use laid down procedures in short-listing people for
nomination for the position.
“The Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) seat is a
crucial one and that there is the need to be circumspect
in choosing the right man for the position.”
This, he said, would help the Party to achieve its
objective of delivering on its campaign promises.
