Breaking: Tarkwa MCE fired!

President Nana Addo has terminated the appointment of the Municipal Chief Executive for Tarkwa Nsuaem, Gilbert Asmah, with immediate effect.

He is to be replaced by Mr. Benjamin Kesse, a Constituency Secretary of the New Patriotic Party in the area.

Earlier, it was rumoured that a letter informing him of termination was delivered through the Western Regional Minister Kwabena Okyere Darko Mensah, after a cabinet meeting last weekend.

It was alleged that, charges were raised against his conduct as the Presidential representative in the area; as he being involved in some intra-party conflicts, dabbling in chieftaincy matters and other “unsanctioned” acts.

This news has been received with mixed reactions. Many fear it will further incite the intense in-party conflicts between the “Duker (MP) and Asmah (MCE) faction”.

Attached are letters from the Presidency informing him of his disappointment, and the appointment of Mr. Benjamin Kesse
