A meeting of the Bosomtwe District Assembly at Kokoado on Tuesday was nearly marred by confusion as the members engaged in fierce verbal exchanges, highlighting the political fault lines.
Supporters of the District Chief Executive (DCE), Mr Edward Nti-Berko, and the Member of Parliament (MP), Mr Simon Osei-Mensah, clashed over the seizure of road construction equipment on the orders of the former.
The said equipment had been hired by the MP to rehabilitate a feeder road linking Kuntanase with Yaase/Adwafo but the DCE would take none of that, insisting that the assembly had already awarded the project on contract.
Some of the assembly members, unhappy with the action taken by Mr Nti-Berko, demanded an explanation and as he sought to justify what he did, the chaos started.
