The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament for Tamale Central, Inusah Fuseini, has said the President should have revoked the appointment of Upper West Regional Minister Sulemana Alhassan, instead of suspending him.<\/p>\n
Speaking on The<\/strong>\u00a0Big Issue,<\/strong>\u00a0Inusah Fuseini claimed that despite the other tougher sanctions that could have been handed to the Minister including dismissal and possible arrest for obstructing justice, the President chose the “milder course of action” because of his intentions to reinstate the Minister<\/p>\n This, the Tamale Central legislator described as unfortunate, stating that people must be held responsible for their actions.<\/p>\n [contextly_sidebar id=”xtGn5b6XdJ0zi8gFHEqEse0UH5gQ0Fsx”]\u201cAs the head of this country, with the Executive power vested in him and all the investigative authorities reporting to him, he ought to have had a reasonable idea of the involvement of the minister in this particular case. So if it is about commitment to enforcing the rule of law and when information gets to you that the Minister facilitated the commission of the offence, what you do is that, you sack him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n A group of angry youth purported to be members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) besieged the Upper West Regional office of the National Disaster Management Organization<\/strong><\/a> (NADMO) on Wednesday evening and chased out the Regional Director, Isaac Seidu.<\/p>\n Mr Seidu escaped unhurt, but his personal assistant, Osman Seidu was beaten to a\u00a0pulp\u00a0and rushed to the Upper West Regional Hospital.<\/p>\n The staff of the Organization laid down their tools in solidarity with their boss but have since returned to work.<\/p>\n
