....parts of the city of Accra are engulfed in filth
Plans are underway to pass a vote of no confidence in the Accra Metropolitan Authority (AMA) Boss, Solomon Offei Darko for irresponsible actions and insensitivity. Even as parts of the city of Accra are engulfed in filth, the Mayor seems to be more concerned with the comfort of his life.
The man, who already has five cars at his disposal, has bought a new Toyota Prado for ?450 million and this has generated controversy between him and the Metro Coordinating Director, I. T. Adjovu.
A source told the ''Free Press'' that the Metro Co-ordinating Director opposed the buying of the new car and instead suggested that moves should be made to pay-off some of the debts owed by the AMA. This according to the source has incurred the anger of Mr Solomon Darko who has caused the transfer of Mr Adjovu.
The AMA allegedly owes refuse collecting companies who embarked on a strike action two weeks ago, about 15 billion cedis.
The official residence of the Mayor, which was refurbished at a cost of ?70 million about one-and-a-half years ago is currently undergoing another refurbishment. Each of his cell phones, a Spacefon and a One Touch saps two million cedis monthly from the Assembly’s coffers. His residence has nine air conditioners, among others.
