Nkwanta North constituency NDC youth are urging President John Dramani Mahama to nominate their constituency chairman, Dordoe Kudjoe Isaiah, as the District Chief Executive (DCE) officer.
This call comes after 13 years of perceived tribalism in the selection of DCEs, which the youth believe has hindered the constituency’s development.
Speaking with Pan African Television’s Samali Abdul Razak, lead member of the agitators, Mr. Michael argue that Dordoe Kudjoe Isaiah has played a crucial role in promoting unity, peace, and energy among the people of Nkwanta North.
The Group also believe his leadership would bring about much-needed development in the area.
Specifically, the youths are concerned about the lack of development in schools, roads, markets, and infrastructure in the constituency. Amos Geyam, a Konkomba tribesman, lamented that despite his tribe’s leadership, the constituency remains underdeveloped.
The Nkwanta North District Assembly has made some efforts to address developmental issues, such as distributing funds and items to Persons with Disabilities and achieving Open Defecation Free status in 122 communities .
However, the youths believe that more needs to be done, and Dordoe Kudjoe Isaiah’s leadership is essential to driving progress.
Some other residents of Sibi also raised the same concern. According to them for the past years Nkwanta North is lacking development because they always get stomach District Chief Executives ( DCEs) and this time around they don’t want any tribalism in Nkwanta North.
