Nana Akwasi Agyeman still under fire

 





The independent says the entire membership of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) have resolved





to remove Nana Akwasi Agyeman, the Metropolitan Chief Executive, from office. They have therefore reiterated their uncompromising stance on the issue, which was first presented in the form of a petition to President Jerry Rawlings on May 7, this year.

The paper says the decision to get the Metropolitan Boss removed through constitutional means, as contained in their earlier petition, was also addressed to the Ashanti Regional Minister, the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development, the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and the Chief of Staff at the President?s Office, last Tuesday in Kumasi by 46 out of the 60 elected assembly members of the KMA.

The Independent says the assembly members intimated that they cannot work with Nana Akwasi Agyeman again.

They also denied allegations levelled against them in a section of the media by Mr Kwame Boateng, an aide of Metropolitan Chief Executive and a government appointee, claiming that all the 46 elected members signed the resolution requesting Nana Akwasi Agyeman?s removal under duress and coercion as baseless.
