The Ayensuano District Assembly has emphasised that it is committed to putting to judicious use, every pesewa it receives to realise the government’s aim to scale up development in district to reduce poverty and promote social mobility.
The DCE gave the assurance after a viral video accused her of spending Ghc45,000.00 on refurbishment of a grader of the Assembly.
In a press statement signed by the DCE, it emphasised “it was a harmless slip of tongue when I stated that a new Motor Grader procured would have cost the Assembly more’.
Statement below:
PRESS RELEASE
OFFICE OF DCE – AYENSUANO DISTRICT ASSEMBLY
My attention has been drawn to an interview I granted UTV which a spin has been put on and circulated virally on social media.
Without a shred of equivocation, I wish to set the records straight as follows:
- That the amounts I mentioned in the video were OLD CEDIS and it was a harmless slip of tongue when I stated that a new Motor Grader procured would have cost the Assembly more.
- That the decision by the Assembly to not procure a new Motor Grader but repair the old one was financially prudent and economically sound.
- That the false narratives that the NDC and its surrogates have put on the viral video are purely propaganda and political mischief.
- That the District Assembly’s annual budget is a public document.
Respectively, I entreat Ghanaians to disregard the false narratives attached to the video.
The Assembly is committed to putting to judicious use, every pesewa it receives to realize the government’s aim to scale up development in Ayensuano district to reduce poverty and promote social mobility.
Thank you.
Hon. Josephine Awuku Incoom (0246 327056)
