President Akufo-Addo is going from today [Tuesday, October 5, 2021], start a four-day tour of the Eastern Region.
This will be his first visit to the region after the 2020 elections.
It will also be the first time that the president will meet with residents of the Eastern region after the appointment of directors general of municipalities and metropolitan districts (MMDCE) which has caused some unrest in the region.
Eastern region tour follows President Akufo-Addo’s four-day tour of Ashanti region, where he called on members of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) to reverse their threat to reject the MCE candidate for Kumasi, Samuel Pyne.
Speaking on Kumasi-based Pure FM, the president said it would not be fair to make Mr. Pyne “a victim of the past”.
KMA President Member Stephen Ofori, in previous interviews with Citi News, reiterated that Assembly members have decided to reject the President’s candidate if a long-standing GHS 50million debt owed by the Assembly is not cleared.
But the President Akufo-Addo retorted that “I don’t see how they are going to prevent Kumasi from having a suitable framework because of the past. I don’t think it’s fair. This is not the way to do it. ”
The president as part of the tour also visited the premises of Darko Farms , the oldest and largest private poultry farm in Ghana, whose operations have been reorganized by the initiative of the 1-District-1-Factory government.
