The constituency executives with polling stations officials and party elders at a News briefing last Friday accused the DCE of; single-handedly awarding contracts, conflict of interest, engaging in profligate expenditures and building mansions with public funds.

Constituency Secretary and Spokesperson for the Executives, Mr Abdul Rauf Zini alleged that the DCE within two years of assuming office had put up two mansions located in Tumu and the Brong-Ahafo town of Berekum.

He also claimed Mr Bakor had awarded 14 schools out of 53 schools under the National School Feeding Programme in the District to himself and his immediate families with the most populated ones being allotted to his two wives wedding in recent months.

This skewed distribution of the school feeding contracts has left in its wake a growing syndrome of despondency among the rank and file of our party, Mr Zini said.

The DCE was also blamed for consistently threatening to sack constituency party officials working in state agencies and departments who disagreed with him on matters of policies, activities and programmes for the development of the district and the party.
