The Minister of Local Government, Decentralisation and Rural Development, Daniel Botwe on the instructions of President Akufo-Addo has suspended the Sekondi-Takoradi Mayor Abdul-Mumin Issah with immediate effect following an encounter he had with a Police Officer on 3rd February, 2022.
In the suspension letter, the Minister stated that “without prejudice to the matter now before court, Government takes a very dim view of the comments made by the Metropolitan Chief Executive during his exchange with the Police.
The letter further stated; “The comments by the Chief Executive run contrary to the Government’s belief and work to ensure that our Security Agencies and indeed Public Agencies are resourced, empowered and accorded the respect to deliver on their mandate.”
In the interim, the Western Regional Minister, Kwabena Okyere Darko-Mensah has been given an additional supervisory role over the Metropolitan Assembly.
