Twenty-three former Agona West Municipal Assembly Members have threatened to take legal action against the assembly for failing to pay them their ex-gratia for more than two years.<\/p>\n
The threat was issued at the third ordinary session of the assembly at Agona Swedru.<\/p>\n
A spokesman of the members, Mr Jude Baffoe, former Assemblyman for Agona Kwamang and a government appointee of the assembly, said all efforts made to force the assembly to pay the money had proven futile.<\/p>\n
He said the ex-members were looking forward to being paid an amount of GH\u20b5 1,500 each, approved by the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development.<\/p>\n
He appealed to Mr Collins Dauda, the Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, to probe the delay of the payment.<\/p>\n
Mr Jonathan Benifo, the Acting Co-ordinating Director of the Assembly, responded that the assembly was struggling to mobilise money to pay the ex-members.<\/p>\n
