Ashanti Youth Association (AYA) On Recent Ministerial Reshuffle

We the people of Ghana , In EXERCISE of our sovereignty as people under Article 1(I) of the 1992 constitution, and in further exercise of our natural and inalienable right to demand responsible governance, which shall secure for ourselves, and posterity the blessings of liberty, equality of opportunity and prosperity:AND IN SOLEMN declaration and affirmation of our commitment to;

Freedom, Justice, Probity and Accountability:The principle that all powers of Government spring from the sovereign will of the people:The Rule of Law;The protection and preservation of Fundamental Human Rights and Freedom, Unity and Stability for our Nation: Do humbly engaged your attention on following;

Chapter 6, Article 35(6)b of them 1992 constitution, further states: achieve reasonable regional and gender balance in recruitment and appointment to public offices.

It is in this close observation and careful study of the government since assuming office in January, 2009 that have shown a big flouting the 1992 constitution set out for all government. The people of Ashanti Region have had to endure the insensitivity of government from policies, appointments, and developmental projects and so on for all this while.

Despite all the gains the region makes to national kitty, we are also treated as though aliens in our own land.

This obvious intentional strategy by government have reached its peak and the last straw which has broken the camels back is the recent ministerial reshuffle by His Excellency President John Mahama to deny this Region a cabinet portfolio in his government. With this great ommission AYA feels a sinister agenda against the people of the region and cannot be allowed to continue whilst the government enjoy all the gains from the Region all in the name of unitary system.

Is the President telling the most hospitable people of Asante that , we don't have men competent enough to have a place in his cabinet?

It cannot be a business as usual, for us to sit unconcern going forward,our dignity, fundamental rights and share of the national cake to be taken for granted by any person or group of persons as political party or government.

As a law abiding, natural humanitarian, tolerant and friendly people of Asante, we will use all legitimate means possible for our people to be given their rightful space of respect, dignity, share of our national wealth in all sphere and shape.

AYA is demanding the following;
* The elevation of Dr kwaku Agyeman Mensah(Minster, Water Resources, works and Housing) to cabinet

level.
AYA is fully in support of any government , whose policies agenda direction goes a long way to benefit fully the indigens and the inhabitant of this lovely Region and Ghana as a whole.

Thank you.
Long Live Asanteman
Long Live Ghana
Long Live AYA
