The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Mfantseman Municipal Assembly, Mr. Kenneth Kennedy Essuman is alleging that Pro-opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) heads of government Institutions are making it hard for perceived New Patriotic Party (NPP) loyalists to be recruited.
According to him, the Pro-NDC government heads who were given very key positions during late President John Jerry Rawlings, late President John Evans Atta Mills and former President John Dramani Mahama’s regime are still at post and yet to retire.
“We are in power but our party activists are suffering to secure jobs in the government Institutions because pro-NDC heads are at the helm of affairs” Mr. Kennedy Essuman disclosed.
Mr. Kennedy Essuman who made this known during the party’s delegates conference at Mfantseman Constituency gave an example of how a former Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr. Samuel Sarpong who was transferred to Central Region as Minister recruited some NDC members as heads of Senior High Schools (SHS) in the region.
He disclosed that even a number of Education Directors are also Pro-NDC and sabotaging the free SHS policy which is one of the flagship programmes of the current administration.
In view of this, he noted that most Heads of Senior High schools are killing the soul of Nana Addo’s free SHS policy.
Mr. Kennedy Essuman stated that NPP needs more years in power to boot out all the Pro-NDC Heads of Departments to enable the NPP to fix their party members in all the government Institutions to ease the unemployment burden on the party.
On her part, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Mfantseman Constituency, Mrs. Ophelia Mensah Hayford thanked the party activists for the love they showed when she lost her husband prior to the general elections.
She promised to use her salary to cater for the aged and the vulnerable within the Constituency.
According to her, she has used her position as a Member of Parliament to secure security recruitment slots for some of the party activists.
“Am nothing but just a school prefect for my Constituents to gather your information and send them to Parliament” Mrs. Mensah Hayford stated
