The Minority in Parliament has said that the denial of appointing Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) is hindering development at the local government level.
The Minority affirmed that it will summon the Minister for Local Government and Regional reorganization, Mr. Dan Botwe over President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s delay.
Speaking in an interview with Citi TV, the Member of Parliament for Odododiodoo and Ranking Member on the Local Government and Rural Development Committee of Parliament, Nii Lante Vanderpuiye averred that they are going to summon the Minister for Local Government and Regional Reorganization to answer and tell them why this undue delay is happening.
He added that the first time such a delay in the appointment of MMDCES has occurred in the country’s history.
Nii Lante said that the Minister will be hauled before the house when Parliament resumes from recess in October.
He stated that this has never happened in the history of this country.
