Some NPP polling agents within the Kpone Katamanso Constituency are calling on the Economic and Organised Crime Organisation (EOCO) to investigate the Municipal Chief Executive of the Kpone Katamanso Municipal Assembly, Solomon Tettey Appiah for engaging in some corrupt acts at the Assembly.
The group is also calling for the removal from office of the Chief Executive for abuse of office and going contrary to the constitution and rules and regulation surrounding his position.Speaking at a press conference at Atadeka, a community within the Municipality, the spokesperson for the group, Samuel Osae accused the Municipal Chief Executive, the Coordinating Director and the Finance officer of acts of thievery, misuse of public funds and noncompliance with the procurement law at the Assembly.
Mr Osae alleged that “the MCE and his accomplices have turned the procurement unit of the Assembly into a rubber stamp office where they go out to make their purchases as well as inflate purchases made.”
He said the MCE, Solomon Tettey Appiah has awarded four contracts for the school feeding program to the wife.
“These schools are Methodist and Kpone SHS and Sebrepor A and B”.
Mr Osae also accused Mr Appiah of misappropriating funds at the assembly which must be investigated.
“The Chief Executive and his team upon taking office now spend an average of GHC75,000 on fuel a month and further spends extra GHC 45, 000 on maintenance on 14 vehicles also for a month”.
He went ahead to state some other corrupt acts the MCE is involved in such as “fronting the sale of Kpone Cemetery Lands and paying his brother an amount of three thousand Ghana cedis for consultancy services”.
Mr Osae is, however, calling on EOCO, the Auditor Generals Department and other relevant bodies to help stop the fraudulent acts perpetrated at the Assembly.
He said the Municipality lack many developmental projects which those monies could be channelled into.
“We have serious sanitation challenge, bad road network among series of development challenges which we urgently need solutions to and so we will not sit and watch Solomon Tettey Appiah destroy the party and the Municipality” Mr Osae stressed.
