Our former DCE is not fit to represent the government; do not rename it – NPP Group in Akufo-Addo

A group aligned with the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Upper East region has called on President Akufo-Addo and regional party leaders not to reappoint their former director general of Bongo District (DCE).

NPP Concerned Faithful’s says Peter Ayinbisa Ayamga, is unfit to oversee district events on behalf of the president.

In a statement, the group accused the former DCE of causing the defeat of the NPP in the 2020 presidential and legislative elections in Bongo constituency.

According to the group, the DCE takes their tolerance for weakness, thus insulting their intelligence.

In the five-page statement, the group highlighted some 19 alleged wrongdoings perpetrated by Mr. Ayamga since taking office.

The faithful of the nuclear plant concerned believe that because of the allegations, their old DCE is not qualified for renewal.

Among the accusations, the group complained that the former DCE denied party agents the payment they were owed after the 2020 election.

They also accused him of embezzling funds intended for the party for his own parochial interest.

“Our DCE continues to undermine the intelligence, tolerance and leniency of party members in the constituency to a level that members can no longer tolerate, resist and accommodate,” the statement read.

However, in an interview with JoyNews, Mr. Ayamga called the allegations “unfounded” and “false”.

According to him, he wrote to the Regional Party Secretariat in response to the accusations.

Mr Peter Ayinbisa stressed that he will not engage in any “social media” exchange with his accusers, adding that he believes the party is capable of handling the case.

He said in all things that the best interests of the party prevail so that it waits for the party leaders to speak out on the matter.

According to him, the group is doing it to paint it black so that their favorite will be nominated to represent the government in the district.

“Ultimately, the appointing authority will make the decision to keep me or appoint someone else. My work is available to everyone, ”he said.
