Members of the December 31 Women Movement (31st DWM) were last week stunned when their one time crony, Samuel Addokwei Addo, Chief Execuive of the Accra Metropolitan (AMA), snubbed them and turned down their plea to reverse a contract in their favour, the Chronicle reports in another story.
“I’m sorry, I can’t help you. You know what the Chronicle has written about the situation and the NDC is no more in power. There’s nothing I can do”. The Accra mayor was quoted as having passed on this information to the women when they bus- loaded themselves to the AMA office.
The members, mostly traders from the Accra markets, went to the offices of the AMA last Wednesday to plead with the mayor to allow them collect market tolls on behalf of the AMA, as had been the tradition for the past seven years.
The Chronicle learnt that earlier on in the day, Samuel Addokwei Addo summoned his lieutenants and legal advisors to a meeting to discuss how best to handle affairs of the 31st DWM members, who had colonised the Accra markets and virtually doing anything they deem fit even without contacting the AMA.
