Three districts in the Northern Region lack District Chief Executives.<\/p>\n
The affected districts are West Mamprusi, Kumbungu and Bunkprugu\/Yunyoo.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”43ehhiPLDVnx2Am3yyMkawihHLp296ku”]President John Mahama fired, the former DCE for West Mamprusi, Adams Yussif Banabilsira and Philip Larry also a former DCE for Bunkprugu\/Yunyoo.<\/p>\n
The Kumbungu DCE position became vacant following the death of the late Iddi Manza Mahama who died in office.<\/p>\n
Residents of the affected districts are worried about the situation and are demanding the immediate nomination of persons for confirmation.<\/p>\n
Particularly, the chief of Wungu, Naa Saaka Sulemana Zoore raised the concern when Local Government and Rural Development Minister, Julius Debrah paid a courtesy call on him.<\/p>\n
The President\u2019s nominee for the vacant West Mamprusi District Chief Executive position, Alhaji Alidu Iddrisu Zakariah, a former MP for Walewale was technically knocked out by assembly members of the West Mamprusi District.<\/p>\n
Only 11 out of 41 assembly members voted for Alhaji Alidu Iddrisu Zakariah, a former Member of Parliament for the Walewale constituency.<\/p>\n
But Minister for Local Government and Rural Development, Julius Debrah has assured the chiefs and people of West Mamprusi that the President\u2019s nominee will soon be announced.<\/p>\n
He however reminded them of their responsibility to ensure one touch confirmation of the President\u2019s nominee.<\/p>\n
