FOMENA NPP CHAIRMAN ACCEPTS REC'S DECISION

-

The suspended NPP Chairman for the Fomena Constituency in Ashanti, Akwasi Nti Asamoah says he accepts the decision of the Regional Council of the party to suspend him pending a final determination of his suspected involvement in the mobilization of some disgruntled members of the NPP to its national headquarters last Thursday. 

According to Mr. Asamoah, any form of behaviour or conduct exhibited by any party member considered to be inimical to the interest of the NPP must be sanctioned, for which reason he does not intend to oppose the Regional Executive Council’s decision. 

In a statement signed by himself, the suspended Fomena Constituency Chairman insists that nobody in the party is greater than the NPP or its Constitution.

 As such, if the leadership sees any conduct of an individual member as a misfit should be dealt with. 

Mr. Asamoah however dispelled rumours that link him with the Accra incident emphasizing that he never joined the pro-Afoko demonstration and expressed the hope that the Regional Disciplinary Committee will clear and re-instate him as the substantive Fomena Constituency Chairman of the NPP.

 Mr. Asamoah noted in the statement that even though he admits that some of his conducts have been contradictory to the tenets of the NPP, he has never dreamt of harming the party saying that every faithful of the party who knows him well will attest to his unadulterated loyalty to the NPP. 

The suspended Fomena Constituency Chairman stated also that his pre-occupation all this while is to contribute his quota towards the victory of the party in next year’s general elections and also affirmed his belief in its Presidential candidate, Nana Ado Dankwa Akuffo Addo as having the capability to rescue Ghana and Ghanaians from their current economic hardships. 

Mr. Asamoah has entreated all his colleagues who have also been suspended by either the National or Regional Executives Council to accept the sanctions in good faith and use the appropriate internal structures to seek redress. 

He said such is the healthiest way of keeping the NPP united. 

Last Saturday at an Emergency Ashanti Regional Executives Council held in Kumasi, some Constituency Executives in the region were suspended for their alleged involvement in the mobilization and protest of some irate members of the NPP to the party’s national headquarters in Accra. 

They were demanding the NEC to reverse its suspension of the National Chairman of the party, Paul Afoko. Among the suspended Constituency Executives are four Chairmen. 

They are Akwasi Nti Asamoah of Fomena, Okai Kwanim, Ejisu, Isaac Brenya of Asawase and Joseph Agyemang Dapaah of Ahafo Ano South East.

 Their case has been referred to the Regional Disciplinary Committee to further investigate and determine their fate in the party.

THE STATE OF KUMASI'S 'INDUSTRIAL AREA

-
The once Industrial enclave of the Ashanti region within the Kumasi metropolis is fast losing its status as the nerve centre of jobs for the people.     This is due to the collapse of most of the companies in quick succession in  the last few years for various reasons. Background Industrialization was a key component of the first wholly indigenous government of Ghana led by Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. The Ashanti region was not left out in this drive which was meant to create decent jobs for the residents, particularly the youth.  Asokwa, Ahinsan, Kaase, Atonsu and Kyirapatre were the communities that became what is known as the ‘Industrial Area’ of Ashanti from the early 60s.  The christening of this enclave as the ‘Industrial Area’ was the people’s appreciation of the numerous state and privately owned companies that were sited there.  These communities fall within present day Asokwa Constituency whic...

KWAMANG SHS NEEDS URGENT HELP

New Campus of the Kwamang Presby SHS The Kwamang Presby Senior High/Technical School in the Sekyere Central district of Ashanti needs an urgent external intervention to address some of its pressing basic needs to function very well.  A visit by Ashanti Today to the school’s premises revealed that the school does not have an administrative block to administer affairs of the school for which reason the Headmistress, the Bursar and another staff are sharing one room which has been partitioned, while the Assistant Headmaster, the rest of the Accounts staff among other administrative officers are also working from an improvised classroom. Anybody who visits the Kwamang Presby Senior High Technical school for the first time will unavoidably take it for a basic school.  This is more so when it appears to be perching on the premises of the local Junior High School as its old site.  The school is wallowing in a myriad of challenges that are seriously milit...
