The three; Mark Ayamga, constituency organizer, Sylvester Atule Constituency Youth organizer and Thomas Kwalase Deputy Youth Organizer have been tipped for the positions of National Disaster Management Organisation coordinator, Youth Employment Agency Director, and Microfinance and Small Loans Centre  Manager respectively.

At a press conference on Monday in Mirigu, spokesperson for the group Daniel Namoo said, the three, did not campaign for the party in the 2016 general election.

The group also accused the three of campaigning openly against the then parliamentary candidate Clement Dandori.

“We have evidence that the three executives were lured with financial and other rewards by the then ruling NDC to campaign against the NPP which they succumbed to.

The three officers have a record of financial mismanagement and as such cannot be trusted with the handling of the finances of the three strategic offices”.

“We are vehemently against the appointment of the three party executives for government office. We, therefore, urge the National Executive Committee of our party and the appointing authorities to as a matter of urgency, rescind any decision to consider these officers for these critical positions” Mr. Namoo stated.

The group urged the party to consider other equally qualified applicants who have submitted their credentials for the same roles.

“We believe that any other persons aside from the three, when appointed will use their offices to support build the grassroots of the party in the constituency”.

Clement Dandori was the Chiana-Paga constituency parliamentary candidate on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2016 general election.

Of the 62 members of the assembly present, 34 voted yes representing 55 percent, but the nominee needed 41 votes to pass the DCE test, while 28 voted against his nomination.

The exercise was supervised by the District Electoral Commissioner, Jonas Mustapha, and witnessed by the Upper East Regional Minister, Rockson Bukari Ayine, NPP Regional chairman, Ibrahim Mohammed Murtala, Former MP of the area Abuga Pele and other dignitaries.

The Regional Minister, Rockson Bukari, appealed to assembly members to eschew petty politics and confirm the nominee the second time.

‘The people matter and what has just happened is unfortunate because you (Assembly members) are punishing the people. The people need development and without a District Chief Executive, no assembly business can commence so I plead that the next time, assembly members will consider the needs of the people and vote massively for the president’s nominee.”

The nominee, Clement Dandori, said he was not perturbed about the event  saying “I believe God has chosen me to serve the people of Chiana-Paga. I bear no grudge with any assembly member who voted against me, do not be disturbed my supporters. I also appeal to all members, including those I may have wronged  in one way or the other to forgive me and endorse me the next time to propel the development of the Chiana-Page District.”

The assembly will later meet to fix a date for the confirmation or otherwise of the nominee.
