Sack Nzema East MCE now — NDC youth

Angry youth of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Nzema East Constituency of the Western Region are calling on the President to remove the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of the area from office.

They claim the MCE, James Atta Kakra Baidoo, is behind the illegal mining in the area.

They also accuse him of using proceeds from tolls he collected from operators of the illegal trade to furnish his apartment at Axim.

The Communications Officer of the NDC in the area, Jonas Kabutey, said they had petitioned the President to sack the MCE “to salvage the dwindling fortunes of the party in the area.”

He said the MCE “has been encouraging the illegal mining business within the municipality.”

 over 200 youth of the party’s branch in the constituency are, however, threatening to embark on a demonstration if the President fails to act.
