Re-instate sacked members of KEEA - NDC

The NDC has demanded the re-instatement of members of the Komenda Edina Eguafo Abirem District whose appointments were revoked last week.

The local government minister is reported to have dismissed the assembly members for refusing to endorse the nominee for district chief executive.

An NDC statement issued in Accra says the minister?s action undermines democracy and the decentralization process.

Speaking to Joy News, acting NDC general secretary, Bede Ziedeng, says the action has exposed the New Patriotic Party as a party that does not believe in what it preaches.

?If you are doing something wrong and someone points it out to you, you have to change, this is not a listening government. But that is not to say that we shall allow them to get away with the wrong things without pointing it out to them,? he says.

Mr. Zideng says the NDC will go to court at the appropriate time to compel government to listen to concerns of the people.

?We will take some other actions which may appear more radical than what we are doing now. It will come to a point where we will have to take them to court to comply with provisions of the Constitution,? he says.
