NPP executives clash with Sekyere East DCE

There was pandemonium at the constituency office of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) at Effiduase-Asokore constituency in the Ashanti region over plans to remove the Sekyere East District Chief Executive (DCE), Mary Marfo.

The Effiduase-Asokore Constituency Secretary of the NPP, Mr Kwame Ampretwum is said to be leading the campaign to get the DCE removed.

As a government appointee at the Sekeyere East District Assembly, Mr Ampretwum has been accused of leading some 16 assembly members to pass a vote of no confidence in the DCE.

In reaction to the attacks on the DCE, some angry young men stormed the NPP constituency office to lock up the facility. They were faced with resistance by some executives including Mr Ampretum which resulted in a free-for-all fight.

Narrating his ordeal on Adom FM’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem, Wednesday Mr Ampretum said he was subjected to severe beatings by the thugs he suspected were supporters of the DCE.

His only crime, he noted, was exposing alleged rot at the assembly under the supervision of the DCE.

Mr Ampretum said the DCE has been accused of 16 malpractices.

However, he said all attempts by the party to get her to do the right thing has proven futile.

“We promised the people to fight corruption so we won’t allow the selfish interest of one person to take us back to opposition,” he opined.

Meanwhile, four persons have been arrested after a confrontation at the NPP office.
