'We will expose your mismanagement of Common Fund' – Former MCE to Naa Torshie

Former Suhum Municipal Chief Executive, Margaret Darko, has warned that Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) are prepared to expose former District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF) Administrator, Irene Naa Torshie Addo, over how she allegedly treated them during her tenure.

According to a report by adomfmonline.com, she made the remarks on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem on Tuesday, November 25, 2025.

“I want her to know that we, the MMDCEs, are ready to expose her because of how she treated us," she remarked.

Margaret Darko also alleged unfair distribution of the Common Fund under Naa Torshie’s leadership.

“Every assembly is supposed to get about GH¢1.2 million, but she gave some assemblies GH¢4 million, others GH¢1.2 million, and some GH¢1,220,000. That alone shows she had her own interests,” she claimed.

She also urged members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) not to be swayed by what she described as Naa Torshie’s attempts to tarnish the image of some party leaders.

“Whatever Naa Torshie is claiming to dirty some party leaders, I am urging the NPP not to pay attention to her rants. We must vote for Dr Bawumia in the 2026 flagbearership contest.

“The NPP should remember the good things we did while in power and vote for the party to return and save the country again,” she explained.



Margaret Darko insisted that Naa Torshie should stop attributing challenges under the DACF to Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

“I want to tell Naa Torshie that she should stop blaming Bawumia. When she was buying fertiliser, when she awarded ten-seater toilet projects in Accra, and all the other things she did, she used her own means to award those contracts,” she argued.

She emphasized that she would not publicly tarnish the party’s image as she claims Naa Torshie is doing.

“She should think about what I have said. I will not wash NPP linen in public the way she is washing her dirty linen out there,” Margaret Darko stated.

Her remarks follow responses from Irene Naa Torshie Addo, who dismissed claims that she contributed to the NPP’s defeat in the 2024 general elections.

Speaking to the media, Naa Torshie said it was unfair to accuse her of withholding funds from MMDCEs. She explained that the responsibility for releasing the money did not lie with her.

“The President, Nana Akufo-Addo, and Bawumia refused to release the Common Funds to me. Every fund approved by Parliament was disbursed according to the laid-down formula,” she said.
