The Communications officer of the NDC in the area, Jonas Kabutey says they have petitioned the president to sack the MCE \u201cto save the shrinking opportunities of the party come the 2016 elections.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said the MCE \u201chas been encouraging the illegal mining business within the municipality.”<\/p>\n

\u201cWe submitted our petition to the president, we went to the founding father, copied the national chairman Mr. Kofi Purtophy, the regional chairman and the BNI etc. let the president hear and tell us something. But if that fails we will cause a demonstration and later advice ourselves,\u201d Kabutey said.<\/p>\n
