Tano North NDC demands immediate removal of MCE over alleged nepotism

Members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) from the Bomaa Branch in the Tano North Constituency of the Bono Region have held a press conference demanding the immediate removal of the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Pious Opoku.
The gathering, which took place on Tuesday, July 15, in front of the party office, addressed growing concerns about alleged nepotism in appointments within the Municipal Assembly.
The NDC members accused the MCE of persistently appointing friends and family members to key positions, including the School Feeding Coordinator and the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) Coordinator.
They alleged that deserving and qualified locals have been overlooked, creating an atmosphere of mistrust and discontent within the community.
“Many of our leaders have been treated poorly, with some even forced to sleep in the bush due to the MCE’s actions,” a spokesperson for the Bomaa Branch, Hon Zack, stated during the press conference.
“We have worked hard for our community and believe we deserve better representation.”
The group is calling for urgent intervention from President John Mahama and the Minister for Local Government.
They have issued a two-week ultimatum for the government to address their concerns, warning that failure to act will result in a demonstration.
“We are prepared to take our fight to the streets if necessary,” the spokesperson added. “This situation cannot continue, and we will not sit idly by while our community suffers.”
