Some members of the Girls Girls Action For Nana Addo and “V 16” have
issued a strong warning to the NPP Member of Parliament for Weija
–Gbawe, Tina Mensah, to desist from lobbying for Patrick Kumoh to become
the Metropolitan Chief Executive (MCE) for the Ga South Municipal
Assembly or face their wrath.
They also cautioned leading members of the party to put a stop to the
intense lobbying for various positions in the impending president –
elect’s administration.
The group further disclosed that some people are desperately lobbying
for certain positions in Nana Addo’s administration using journalists,
political pundits, civil society organizations, religious leaders and
some vulnerable youth as lobbyists.
According to them, Tina Mensah, at a meeting with some assembly members
last week called on them to support her as she makes frantic efforts to
ensure that Patrick Kumoh becomes the next MCE for the Ga South
Municipal Assembly.
“We have been in this party and worked a lot to get the party this far
before Patrick came to join us. He joined the party not too long ago and
besides, he is not qualified, there are people who are better qualified
than Patrick, Tina’s behaviour is unacceptable and we would not
tolerate it,” They stressed.
We want very competent people to go into our Assemblies and so it should
be expected that such people are rationale and discerning enough to do
what is in the best interest of the party and the country in general.
They further, decried the practice of same old faces of the party always
scheming for positions at the expense of others who are equally
qualified and competent, insisting such practice is unacceptable.
The two groups called on politicians and other Ghanaians to stop
exerting pressure on Nana Addo through lobbying and afford him the
freedom to make his appointments, stressing that such lobbying
activities only tend to bring unqualified people on board, breed
corruption, retard development, and cause unhealthy competition between
people.
The groups, however, were optimistic Nana Addo will live up to his track
record of competence by appointing the right people to fill various
positions in his administration.
