Addressing the assembly meeting, the Tano South District Coordinator, Mrs. Agartha Ahia thanked the assembly members and heads of departments for honouring the invitation at a short notice.

 


She said there was the need for the District to present two candidates to form part of the regional electoral college to vote and choose the regions member to the council of state and since the assembly could not form a quorum due to the revocation of the seventeen appointed by the previous government there was the need to replace them hence the meeting and to swear in the seventeen (17) government appointees of the current administration so that the assembly’s membership would be full.

Mrs. Ahia called on all members to co-operate and make the election of the District’s representatives a success since it would go a long way to project the cordiality amongst the assembly members.

The swearing in ceremony saw the District magistrate, Her Worship Memunatu Hajia Jebuni swearing in the seventeen members by taking the oath of office and secrecy.

This was immediately followed by the election of two members, Hon. Enoch Afriyie and Hon. Joseph Mensah Djan to represent the District at the regional level.
