President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will appoint chief executives for metropolitan assemblies in Accra, Kumasi, Tamake and Takoradi in the coming days.
Acting General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu, stated that the committee, led by Mac Manu, had successfully vetted MMDCE aspirants.
“We are done with vetting of people who are hoping to be appointed as metropolitan chief executives for places like Accra, Kumasi, Tamale and Takoradi. It is now left with the president to select people he thinks can best manage the metropolis and bring the needed development,” he noted.
Musa Superior, an aide to President Akufo-Addo and Nii Adjei Sowah, Greater Accra Regional Secretary of the NPP, have been tipped for Tamale and Accra respectively.
According to Mr. Boadu, the names of MMDCEs for the other assemblies would also be released by the Presidency in the coming weeks.
Six regions
He announced that the vetting committee, of which he is a member, had completed the vetting of hopefuls in six out of the 10 regions in the country. Mr Boadu stated that the vetting committee would soon complete the four remaining regions.
Reject bribe
The acting NPP General Secretary flatly debunked reports that some MMDCE aspirants had bribed members of the vetting committee.
According to him, the vetting committee doesn’t have any control over who becomes MMDCE.
The NPP guru indicated that “no party member can help you to get appointment as MMDCE, it is only President Akufo-Addo, who has that sole right so don’t try to bribe anyone”.

Do you expect John Boadu to accept taking bribe? They will Take and deny or they Give and deny. One day God will expose them.
Mac Manu let committe have done very poor job in connection with the vetting and appointing of MCES and the DCES. A case in point is the STMA when chairman Mac and his devil's conspirators remove the name of yaa pokua Baiden without the knowledge of the president. This happened yesterday at the flagstaf house when the president was interacting with the regional executives of party from Western region,John Boadu was at the meeting. BNI and the report from the vetting committe indicating the lady was the most equalified among the three candidates but unfortunately Chairman Mac presente only two names for consideration. I don't trust the leadership of chairman Mac committee period. They have their own personal interest.
The president does not know everybody at the MMDAs level.It is human beings who will recommend someone to him. Some chairmen selected their favorites to the Accra interview. We suffered together n must share together.
I now see why successive governments have been economical in developing the Volta Region. If they still have the mind to secede then that part of the country will face problems. We need to get together and see what the problem is and unite appropriately.
@THE MASK. WHO IS THIS WORLD DECIDES TO DIVIDE HIS HOUSE AND GIVES PART OF IT UP OT OTHERS. THE BIBLE TALKS AGAINST DIVISION A LOT. GOD ALWAYS WANTS UNITY. REMEMBER THE LORD JESUS PRAYED IN JOHN CAHPTER 17 "THAT THEY ALL MAY BE ONE". GOD LOVES ONENESS NOT DIVISION, BECAUSE, DIVISION IS OF SATAN, IT MEANS CONFUSION, CHAOS, DISORDERLINESS AND LACK OF PEACE, PROGRESS, PROSPERITY AND HAPPINESS. IT IS ONLY SATAN WHO LIKE DIVISION, FOR HE SATAN CAME TO STEAL, TO KILL AND TO DESTROY. DIVISION BRINGS DESTRUCTION. THERE WAS A REFERENDUM IN THE PAST AND THE PEOPLE OF THE VOLTA REGION DECIDED TO BE PART OF GHANA, AFTER GERMANY LOST THE SECOND WORLD AND GAVE UP THE COLONY OF TOGOLAND, PART OF WHICH WAS GIVEN TO THE FRENCH BY THE UNITED NATIONS. SO WHY ARE PEOPLE CLAMOURING TO UNDO THE UNITED NATIONS REFERENDUM BY SEEKING TO SECEDE VOLTA REGION INTO A STATE OF ITS OWN??????????????
PLEASE CHECK UR SPELLING PEACMONLINE Tamake....
Every man has the right to decide his own destiny. If Ewes want to leave Ghana and form their own country don't stop them. Akufo-Addo must grant them their wish immediately. The on-going court case to judge the case must come to an end. Grant them their wish.
