On DCE Appointment In Atwima Kwanwoma: My Take As A Party Loyalist

I greet you all fellow patriots in Atwima Kwanwoma District. I want to use this moment to thank the Almighty God once again for the unprecedented victory He granted the NPP during the just ended general election. I say Ayekoo to all our hard working supporters who made this win possible.

However, my attention has be drawn to some press statements and conferences from some section of supporters of the NPP in Atwima Kwanwoma either supporting or condemning some of the 13 DCE aspirants.

The current one was a press conference organized by some supporters of Hon. Emmanuel Asuah Dadzie (an aspirant). In as much as they (group) have the democratic right to support any of the candidates, I think such actions must be CONDEMNED and DISCOURAGED in our district politics.

MY REASONS
1. THE PRESIDENT KNOWS BEST: In as much as we believe in ourselves that, the various candidates we support will be the right persons for the job, the president is the only person in who's ultimate decision that whoever becomes a DCE is bestowed.

Let's all party supporters and activists master a high level of trust in the president because I believe the president knows best for the district and will deliver unto us a hardworking person who will move Atwima Kwanwoma to the level we deserve.

2. UNITED FRONT FOR DEVELOPMENT: It is very sad to know that, our district created in 2007 by Ex-president Kuffuor is bedeviled with little development.

A 10year old district like Atwima Kwanwoma has almost nothing to show for in terms of development and this to me, has been the case because of the high level of disunity among party members of the various regimes since the district was created. After 10yrs, Atwima Kwanwoma District cannot boast of even a district office of its own.

The current apartment that houses the DCE and all offices in the district are rented facilities where we spend much money on paying for the bills instead of using same funds in projecting developments. A research conducted by Ash FM and some media houses in Kumasi in 2015 concluded that, Atwima Kwanwoma is one of the top 5 districts with the poorest road networks in Ashanti region and we can't continue to umbrella ourselves in such disgusting accolades.

Again, our elders says, "wisdom is not in one head". In this regard, I believe the good people of Atwima Kwanwoma must come together as one family and rally behind whoever the president nominates as his representative in the district so that we can all contribute our quota to the best of AKDA.

3. HATCHING CHAOS: again, I believe with such kind of press releases and conferences at this crucial moment, we are brooding a high level of possible chaos and tension in the district which I believe is needless. It is no doubt that the NPP has suffered some destructive levels of chaos in AKD, which has cost us a lot as a party. Thank God, now we have come to know peace and this peace is what I stand to preserve. We cannot continue to live in chaos whiles we deprive the district of development. We must come together and uphold the peace we are enjoying now!

On this day, I pledge my unflinching support for the president's choice of DCE and promise to work my heart out to ensure s/he is endorsed by all Assembly members.

No one person can be bigger than the district and nobody is indispensable in the district.

Onward patriots we match.... It's time to uphold our dignity as a district. It's time we come together and fight a common goal. It's time we stood up and call a spade a spade.

God bless our homeland Ghana.
Long live NPP!
Long live Atwima Kwanwoma!!
Long live Ghana!!!
