Minority MP's smokes peace pipe with AMA Boss

Accra, DEC. 27, GNA - Six minority Members of Parliament who took Mr. Samuel Adokwei-Addo, Accra Metropolitan Assembly's [AMA] Chief Executive to court last week over the disbursement of the MPs Common Fund have amicably resolved their differences with the AMA boss.

This was made known by Nana Akomea , New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Okaikoi south at the inauguration of the El-Ahly Social Club at Bubiashie in Accra on Sunday. Nana Akomea said the misunderstanding with the AMA boss over the disbursement of the MPs Common Fund was resolved at a meeting last Friday in Accra.


He said to ensure peace and co-operation, a fruitful discussion was held between them and the Metropolitan Chief Executive and an agreement was reached on the disbursement of the Fund to allow the MP's to carry out projects in their constituencies.

Last week, an Accra High Court granted leave to six minority MPs- Sheikh Ibrahim.C Quaye, Ayawaso Central, Ms.Theresa Tagoe, Ablekuma south, Mr. Kwamena Bartels, Ablekuma north, Mr.Victor Okuley Nortey, Ablekuma central, Nana Akomea, Okaikoi south and Mr.Joseph Darko, Okaikoi north to serve a writ of mandamus on the AMA boss. This was to compel him to release funds totalling 176.2 million cedis being the share of the MP's allocation of the Common Fund for projects in their constituencies. GNA
