The District Chief Executive (DCE) for Sekyere East at Effiduase in the Ashanti Region, Mary Boatemaa Marfo, has been sacked.
In a letter written by a Deputy Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Kwasi Boateng Adjei, the decision by the President, in accordance with Article 243(3)(b) of the 1992 Constitution, takes immediate effect.
This comes after she was reportedly heard on a leaked tape plotting the defeat of the Member of Parliament for Effiduase/Asokore constituency, Dr Nana Ayew Afriyie.
