KMA mayor is a decent hardworking man-assembly members

Sixty-one members of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly have accused the Presiding Member of the Assembly, Nana Kofi Senya for the seeming lack of respect for the mayor, Hon. Kojo Bonsu.
In a seven page statement, signed by all sixty-one members and copied to the media, the members condemned calls by some members of the house for the passage a vote of no confidence in the Mayor for allegations of what they called “abuse of office, incompetence and lack of respect for laid down rules and regulations governing the assembly”.
They pointed out that, “We the majority of the Assembly Members would not allow ourselves to be driven into such hit and run syndrome or attitude that has always been the tactics of some few Assembly members”.
Adding that, “We also want to put on record that, the inability of the chair to stamp its authority on the floor of the house in most cases resulted in physical fight, heckling of members, intimidation, to the extent that a member went to the high table to register her concern by banging the table”.
The statement stressed that, “there is total disorder, indiscipline and lack of respect for leadership of the house by some few Assembly members and we are calling on the general public to visit the house at its sittings to observe things for themselves”.
The members stated that, “we believe that the good people of the metropolis can see the physical forward match or movement in terms of development and infrastructural improvement under Hon. Kojo Bonus’s administration”
“The action of some members is to create panic and a situation that does not exists; in that, looking at the concluding part of their petition, they are calling on the President to intervene in order to bring about peaceful co-existence and dialogue” it added.
They therefore described the call for the impeachment of the Mayor as “mischievous”.
This they claimed, is because even if they had any grievances, “the right quarters for redress is the complaints committees of the Assembly instead of resorting to the media to peddle or propagate wrong information in order to tarnish the hard won reputation of the Mayor”.
“The Chief Executive is a decent man, hardworking and down to earth to every member of the house. He has a vision to accomplish and it behooves every member and the general public to extent their support to him”
