Mankessim (Central Region) - An appeal has been made to President John Agyekum Kufuor to appoint a candidate to replace the District Chief Executive (DCE) for Mfantseman who was relieved of his post about two months ago.

Oscar Kweku Appiah, assemblyman for Edumadze/Twafo electoral area of Mankessim, who made the appeal, said the long absence of a substantive DCE would compound precarious problems facing the district.

Appiah said the Central Regional Minister who has been tasked with oversight responsibility for the district until was being over burdened, as he has no deputy to assist him in the performance of his official duties.

"The longer the appointment takes, the more development in our district suffers. We need a District Chief Executive to lead us to move the district forward," the assemblyman said.
