Sekondi, April 7, GNA – The Sekondi/Takoradi Metropolitan
Assembly (STMA), on Wednesday, unanimously confirmed
Captain Rtd Anthony Cudjoe as its new Metropolitan Chief
Executive (MCE). Captain Cudjoe was fully endorsed by all the seventy
appointed and elected assembly members present, prompting
jubilations and merry-making among his supporters. Captain Rtd Cudjoe in his acceptance speech recognised the
challenges that has bedeviled the assembly over the years and
called on all and sundry to help push the development agenda of
the metropolis forward. “The show of solidarity and support this morning attest to
your readiness to win the battle, the work ahead indeed requires
hard work and we will have to re-strategize to get things done”,
he added. Mr Paul Evans Aidoo, Western Regional Minister,
commended the assembly members for their sense of purpose
and urged them not to be influenced by partisan-politics, as well
as, unduly interfering in the running of the assembly, to ensure
accelerated development of the metropolis. He urged the new MCE to avoid discrimination and rather
have a listening ear for all. Mr Aidoo also urged party supporters and members of the
assembly not to seek undue favour, in terms of award of contract
and other assembly businesses, which according to him always
created problems. Mr Mamoud Ali, the Presiding Member of the STMA, re-
echoed the need to move the metropolis forward in order to meet
the development needs of the area and the region as a whole.
