The Manya Krobo Traditonal council has requested an immediate dismissal of Hon. Isaac Tetteh-Agbo, the Chief Executive of the Lower Manya Krobo Municipal Assembly over what it describes as gross act of misconduct and insubordination. A resolution addressed to the President, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, dated November 25, 2013 and signed by forty five (45) members of the council (made up of chiefs and queenmothers) including the Konor of Manya Krobo and President of the Traditional Council said though Hon. Agbo�s tenure expired in May this year, he is illegally at post and would not show respect to the traditional leaders and other authorities in the municipality including the Member of Parliament for the area, Hon Ebenezer Okletey Terlarbi (who doubles as the Deputy Minister for Defense). The council indicated that Hon. Agbo continues to misrepresent the president, making the NDC brand unpopular with his immaturity which is most evident in his dealings with the traditional authorities. The statement further indicated that the �MCE� has no sense of urgency and proves evasive when most needed to solve pressing issues in the municipality. He has additionally taken to a populist act of projecting himself, virtually appearing on radio and TV shows every morning in his bid to catch the eyes of officials to be retained and habitually lies about his whereabouts often using appointments with the Local Government Minister and the Eastern Regional Minister as excuses; the last episode was on Thursday November 21, 2013 when he lied about his whereabouts at a critical time when his services were urgently needed. Citing an instance to buttress the claims, Nene Asada Ahor I, Chief of Akuse and PRO of the Traditional Council said �Hon Agbo authorized the issuance of a cheque to our legal counsel in the heat of the Akuse boundary dispute in the Supreme Court as agreed in a previous meeting only to retract at the last minute, claiming it was on the order of the Local Government Minister, much to our embarrassment. This is just one of the many instances where he covertly acted to sabotage the assembly elections and the reconstitution of the assembly in his determined effort to perpetuate his one-man administration of the Municipal Assembly as has been the case for the past three (3) years. �He has lost the confidence of the people and we as traditional leaders of the area are in no position to entertain him in office any longer. He must accordingly be relieved of his post without further delay to prevent any misunderstanding� *For more information, please contact Nene Asada Ahor I, Public Relations Officer pf the Manya Krobo Traditional Council via 0208 242 031
