The newly-appointed Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for Nzema East Municipal Assembly in the Evalue Ajomoro Gwira Constituency of the Western Region Madam Elizabeth Dorcas Amoah was reported to have vacated the post without any official notice served with the management of the Assembly.
Intelligence picked by Soireenews.com indicates that the MCE has only written to the Western North Regional Minister and claimed in her letter that she has traveled to the United States of America (USA) for medical treatment.
But interestingly, no letter in the Assembly ought to attest to the fact that the MCE has traveled to the USA for a medical check-up.
The top officers of the Assembly told the journalists that the MCE has not been reporting to work for some few days ago and that they couldn’t tell where she has gotten to.
Checked conducted in Kotoka International Airport (KIA) also revealed that the embattled Nzema East MCE has never traveled to US A as she claimed.
According to the information available to Soireenews.com, Madam Amoah who many constituents described as a woman tiger is hiding with some family members in either Accra or Takoradi due to the current pressure mounted on her by the chiefs, traditional office holders, foot-soldiers and supporters, and of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to pack her belongings and leave the Assembly since they cannot work with her.
Last week, a group calling itself Concerned Youth of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Axim in the Evalue Ajomoro Gwira Constituency has called on President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo to outrightly dismiss Madam Amoah from office.
The leadership of the group in the persons of Mr. Francis Koffie, Mr. Lord Listowel Kwofie, Mr. Samuel Nokoe, Madam Anita Boketey, and Mr. Goffery Nyankom in a petition to the Chief of Staff, Minister of Local Government and Rural Development and copied to Evalue Ajomoro Gwira NPP Constituency Chairman, Nana Efatte-Beyeeman, Western Regional NPP Chairman, Mr. Ndede Siah, Western Regional Minister, Mr. Kwabena Okyere Darko-Mensah indicated that the MCE has failed the entire constituents and also failed in her duties for the past three months in office and that she must be sacked.
According to the leader of the group, the MCE since her appointment as a new MCE has been disrespecting traditional office holders, market folks, students, fishermen, and women including the grassroots of the NPP in the area.
Below is the petition
PETITION PRESENTED BY CONCERNED NPP YOUTH OF AXIM ON THE CONDUCT OF MADAM ELIZABETH DORCAS AMOAH, MCE FOR NZEMA EAST
We write as concerned youth of the New Patriotic Party in Axim, the capital of the
Evalue Ajomoro Gwira constituency in the Western Region to register our displeasure on the conduct of Municipal Chief Executive of Nzema East, Madam Elizabeth Dorcas Amoah.
It would be recalled that before Madam Dorcas’ name was mentioned as MCE for
Nzema East Municipality, a section of NPP youth in the Constituency hit the street to protest against her possible appointment.
This was because the youth felt that, Madam Dorcas contributed nothing to the political fortunes of the NPP in Evalue Ajomoro Gwira.
They never knew her and didn’t hear of her until her name was mentioned after the election when she surfaced to enjoy the sweat of the grassroots.
For someone who is on record to have said that, she won’t take her car to Gwira to campaign because the place was unmotorable how do you expect the youth to be happy when she’s appointed as MCE?
Sensing her nomination may be rejected by the assembly members, the appointment of government appointees who happened to be members of NPP and sacrificed their time and energy for the party while madam Dorcas was in Accra (as confirmed by her on Kobra FM – Audio Available), were revoked without their notice.
This of course will leave members grieved as they felt disrespected. Even if their appointments were going to be revoked, they should have been respected enough to receive a notification but nothing like that happened.
One would have thought that after the confirmation, the new MCE would embark
on a reconciliation, journey to build bridges as we are seeing in other places like Jomoro.
But this isn’t the case, what we are seeing are threats, intimidations, curses and using the military to intimidate chiefs, and many more.
No effort has been made on her side to reconcile with all these people who felt hurt.
Just a few days ago, members of NPP sea fearers, canoe owners, and fishmongers who happened to be on the premix landing beach committee were revoked even when their time was not due.
It was pathetic to see members of the party who have toiled and worked so hard for the party to be treated this way. They had only six months for their contract to end yet Madam Dorcas didn’t spare them. She insensitively sacked them.
What is more intriguing is the fact that the protocol given by the chairman of the NPP, Nana Efatte Beyeman by the national premix coordinator (Mr. Dennis Percyval Quaicoe) was removed from the list during the inauguration by Hon. This is not happening in Ellembelle nor Jomoro, it’s only Nzema East.
What wrong did Evalue Ajomoro Gwira NPP do? As if that wasn’t enough, according to the party chairman, Nana Effate Beyeeman,
Madam Dorcas declined a reconciliation move initiated by him with the excuse that she is not on good terms with Nana Ewiefum, Michael Nokoe, Obaahemaa Assafuah who are party patrons and council of elders.
How can a leader appoint to bring unity boldly antagonizes elders of the party?
According to the Chairman, Madam Dorcas got furious when she got hold of a suspension letter from the secretary and together with her son, she visited the chairman where he was lodging and abusively insulted him. calling him names, “Village
Chairman”, “Brainless Chairman,” “A fool who was made a chief” etc. This has been confirmed by those who were present at the time the incident happened. How can an MCE be that abusive to her Chairman?
Without consultation with the party chairman and communication director, Charles Erzuah unilaterally chooses people to represent the party on the radio.
This is highly disrespectful and a recipe for confusion. We thank the chairman for suspending him as the secretary of the party.
When the MCE decided to go on a familiarization tour, Charles Erzuah informed the Constituency executives as late as 5. a.m when the tour was 8. a.m the same day.
He smartly left out the good people of Ewoku, Agona, Aguafo polling station when issuing the invitation letters and when asked, the MCE boldly told them they didn’t hear of the meeting because they don’t matter. How do we expect the people to gleefully work for the party when they are disrespected in such a manner?
She prevented Nzema FM a known pro-NPP radio station from using Axim Community Centre for a Children’s party during Christmas.
She again personally called media men of Nzema Fm and insulted them.
She has also locked the New Patriotic Party’s office at the community center (Axim) with information that it is under construction yet since the notice, organizations are having meetings and others are still using the place as their office. How can MCE be mean to her party?
It is based on these actions and behaviors exhibited by Hon. Elizabeth Dorcas Amoah has deeply affected the goodwill and feeling of the party in the Constituency.
It is based on this that we as concerned NPP youth want to draw the Party’s attention to maintain power in 2024 and break the 8.
We are calling on the Constituency Chairman, the regional chairman, the Regional Minister, and the party leadership to look into this matter, failure of which we will advise ourselves as the youth of the great party.
