15 members appointed to Bosomtwe District Assembly

Ten out of 15 members appointed to the Bosomtwe District Assembly have been sworn into office at a ceremony at Kuntanase, the Bosomtwe district capital.

They are Hon Nana Akomeah Sakyi Tutu Ampam II – Abuontemhene; Hon Nana Agyekum Tuffour – Old/New Kokobirikohene; Hon Kwame Amankwah (Rep. former executives); Hon Musa Baba (Rep. People with Disabilities); Hon Dr. Charity Azumi Issaka (Rep. PROFORUM);

Hon Agambah Patrick Justice (Constituency Secretary) and Hon Alhaji Ayuba Mohammed (Rep. Muslim community).

Others are ?Hon Abdul Aziz Salia (Constituency Organiser), Hon Frank Agyei (Constituency Youth Organiser) and Hon Taiba Halidu (Constituency Women Organiser).

Sources from the Assembly revealed that arrangement is being made to ensure that the remaining five are duly sworn in at an appropriate time.

The five members yet to be sworn in areHon Dickson Manu – Constituency chairman; Prof Joe Oteng-Adjei (Rep. former appointees), Hon Nana Kwabena Nsiah Appiah – Pipiehene; Hon Seyram Agbemenu – Rep. Settlers community and Hon Paul Ampong – (Rep. Christian community).

They replace those whose appointments were revoked on January 8, 2025 as directed by the President under the provisions of the Local Government Act 936 of 2016.

Meanwhile, concerned constituents in the Bosomtwe constituency have objected to the appointment of Justice Agamba Patrick (Secretary), Aziz Ben Salia (Organiser) and Alhaji Ayuba (Vice chair), as well as three other constituency officers.

The aggrieved constituents disagree with the fact that one person gets two appointments in government because there are other young graduates who have same or better qualifications to be appointed into other portfolios.

They reminded the appointing authority that it is not only the constituency officers who worked for the party in the constituency and that the grassroots should be given the opportunity to serve. They have, therefore, threatened to deal with any constituency officer attempts to grab appointments. The concerned constituents cautioned that the party executives must be seen as selfless leaders and not self-centered and greedy ones.
