The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Linda Obenewaa Akweley Ocloo, who also serves as Member of Parliament for the Shai Osudoku Constituency, has urged assembly members across the region to confirm the President’s nominees for Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs).
She warned that rejecting or delaying the confirmation of the nominees would hinder development in their respective jurisdictions.
“Failure to confirm the President’s nominees will only delay the development your communities deserve,” Madam Ocloo stated. “You cannot afford to lag behind while other districts are moving forward.”
The minister made these remarks when she addressed assembly members at the Accra Metropolitan Assembly during the confirmation of President John Dramani Mahama’s nominee for Accra Metropolitan Chief Executive (MCE), Alfred Kpapko Allotey.
At the conclusion of the voting process, Mr. Allotey received unanimous approval, with all 30 assembly members voting in favor of his confirmation.
The event was attended by several dignitaries, including the immediate past Mayor of Accra.
In his acceptance speech, Mr. Allotey thanked the assembly members for their endorsement and pledged to align his leadership with President Mahama’s “Reset Ghana” agenda.
“The work begins now. The reset begins now,” he declared. “I am committed to helping reset Accra, just as the President has pledged to reset Ghana.”
The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Linda Obenewaa Akweley Ocloo, commended the assembly members for their unity and support of the President’s vision.
“I want to sincerely thank you for the confidence you’ve shown in the President’s nominee,” she said. “Your vote today reflects your commitment to the development and transformation of Accra.”
“We will continue to work with the assembly members to ensure that the remaining confirmations are completed to pave the way for development,” Madam Ocloo added.
