According to him electing leaders at the local levels allows people to make choices of leaders they believe can best push the needed development in the area.
In an interview on the sideline at a stakeholders’ engagement organized by the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs (MoPA) to validate the Constitutional Review Committee Report of 1992 Constitution of Ghana, the Sege MP pointed out that, it should not be that when a party is in power, they put someone there to direct affairs at the Assembly.
Rather there should be an election of MMDCEs so that the people at the local level would have someone to better serve them and be accountable to them. Thus, the people will hold the person responsible for his stewardship. “In the legislature we elect our representatives; so same should be done at the local level”, he affirmed.
