Accord Regional Ministers due respect-Nana Addo to MMDCEs

The President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo- Addo has admonished Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) to accord Regional Ministers the needed respect.

He further advised them to work in harmony with Members of Parliament (MPs) saying conflict between MMDCEs and MPs frustrates government’s work.

According to the President, misfortunes of ruling parties in the general elections in 2000, 2008 and 2016 had a lot to do with the collapse in relations between Chief Executives and MPs of the then ruling parties.

‘I expect you to accord Regional Ministers all their due respect, as they are the President’s representatives in the Regions….a lot of the tension that arises in the districts and frustrates the work of government comes from the fractious relationship between Members of Parliament and Chief Executives. Please avoid such conflicts and let the MPs get their share of the Common Fund timeously,” he urged.

The President was speaking during an orientation programme organized for 199 approved MMDCEs by the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Government, at the Institute of Local Government Services, at Ogbojo- Accra on Wednesday, July 5, 2017.

He encouraged them to apply their District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF) judiciously towards the execution of planned and approved projects.

“Please apply your DACF judiciously towards the execution of planned and approved projects. It is not for recurrent expenditure. It is not for recurrent expenditure and should not be misused or abused. It is a good idea quickly to get your Assemblies to restructure your financial operational system and targets, to take advantage of the new initiatives introduced by government to promote accelerated economic growth,” he said.
