The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Linda Obenewaa Akweley Ocloo, has lambasted some metropolitan, municipal, and district chiefs executives (MMDCEs) in the region for turning their offices into political party activities.
Speaking at a media interaction in Accra today, Mrs. Ocloo described the phenomenon as unacceptable and an abuse of office.
“I have reports that many of you have turned your official offices into party meeting grounds, filling them with unauthorised officials and visitors, while your staff, the very people who are supposed to lead, are denied access to discuss official matters. This is abuse of office and unacceptable,” she said.
Sleeping on the job
The Regional Minister also served a note of caution that she would not hesitate to report to the presidency MMDCEs who failed to work hard to help President Mahama’s agenda in resetting Ghana for a better future.
Leadership is not about sitting in offices and enjoying the perks of your position, but it is about delivering results, and right now many of you are simply sleeping on your jobs”, she said.
Personal assistants
Mrs Ocloo further expressed her displeasure about the use of personal assistants by the MMDCEs to carry out official assignments.
Such a trend, she said, must stop immediately as the personal assistants have no locus to undertake certain activities. “Some of you have surrounded yourselves with personal assistants who have virtually taken over your official responsibilities.
