Mary Boatemaa Marfo, Sekyere East District Assembly
Information available to Peacefmonline.com indicates that the Sekyere East District Assembly in the Ashanti region on Tuesday, April 2, 2019, will pass a ‘Vote of no confidence’ in their District Chief Executive, Hon. Mary Boatemaa Marfo.
The Assembly Members, numbering about 16 simply want their DCE removed from office over glaring “incompetence” and “corruption”.
In a statement, the Assembly Members have resolved to kick out the DCE through a massive campaign after an unresponsive petitioning to the Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei-Mensah.
The Assembly Members are also calling on the presidency to with immediate effect suspend Hon. Mary Boatemaa Marfo who is currently in Canada on holidays despite the brouhaha surrounding her office.
