Tension is mounting in the branch of the new Patriotic Party (NPP) in Yilo-Krobo following the withdrawal of some party members from the school feeding program as caterers.

According to DAILY GUIDE, the plan would have been implemented by the municipality's director general, in collaboration with some party constituency officials in the eastern district riding.

According to Gifty Azagba, a women's polling station organizer for the NPP, who is also a caterer, the MCE, Ebenezer Tetteh Kupualor; Constituency President Dr. Gabriel Apotey; Female organizer; Adelaide Asantewaa and youth organizer George Teye Wayo allegedly joined forces to intimidate current caterers in the school's school feeding program and would be asked to give up their jobs.

She baderted that the ERM had canceled the contracts awarded to her, alleging that they had not voted for the current executive officers during the elementary school in the constituency.

She added that some members of the NPP, who had been wronged, therefore threatened to leave the party.

Azagba said that the MCE and some constituency leaders brought their own staff as caterers, but former caterers vowed to resist them.

"They even went so far as to warn the school principal to send me away from school or risk being transferred," said Ms. Azagba.

Another affected conservator said at one point that officials in her riding had ordered people to get rid of the food she had prepared for Odortom M / A elementary school students in order Force him to leave his post.

Esther Abayetey, who cooks for Pleki R / C Primary School, also alleged that after several unsuccessful attempts by the party hierarchy to send them away from their various schools, PNP leaders had withdrawn their name without their advice.

DAILY GUIDE contacted the president of the riding, Mr. Gabriel Apotey, to tell him that the issue had been resolved by the regional minister and declined to comment further.

When contacted, the MCE promised to contact the reporter but never did so at the time of printing.
