Pusiga District Assembly confirms President’s nominee`
Pusiga(UE) , Oct 16, GNA - Assembly Members for the Pusiga District Assembly in the Upper East Region on Tuesday confirmed Mr Abugbila Awuni Alhassan , the President’s nomine as the District Chief Executive(DCE) for the area.
The endorsement which was conducted by the Electoral Commission, did not last more than 10 minutes and saw all the 21 assembly members confirming the President’s nominee.
Swearing the new DCE into office, the Upper East Regional Minister, Mr Mark Woyongo said he was highly impressed about the overwhelming endorsement of the DCE and said it demonstrated unity among the Assemblymen in the house and entreated them to give him maximum cooperation to steer the affairs of the area.
He also admonished the DCE to run an open door policy` and not to discriminate, stressing "welcome and listen to everybody irrespective of their political affiliations”.
Mr Woyongo indicated that the creation of the new districts would bring governance and development to the doorsteps of the people because it would have its own resources including the District Assemblies Common Fund, District Development Facility, among others to develop on its own instead of relying on the Bawku Municipal Assembly.
“One thousand Ghana Cedis had already been paid into your account to start operation and more will follow. All these will be translated to the development of your District. It took a lot of lobbying and efforts for this dream to be realized. You must therefore work in unity to ensure development”, the Minister stressed.
He promised the newly created Assembly of 100 poles of Streetlights and Public Address Systems and impressed upon the people in the area to vote the National Democratic Congress to power to continue with its good work.
The DCE-elect commended the Assembly members for the confidence reposed in him and entreated them to eschew all negative tendencies that usually drew the development of most districts backwards.
In the Upper East Region the four newly created Districts are Pusiga, Binduri, Builsa South and the Nabdam Districts.
