Former NPP Member of Parliament (MP) for Ayensuano constituency, Samuel Ayeh-Paye, has lauded the Ashanti Regional Secretary of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) over his appointment as the new Kumasi Metropolitan Chief Executive.
Sam Pyne doubles as a teacher at the Kumasi Anglican Senior High School.
Fifty-five out of the 58 members voted in favour of Mr. Pyne, giving him 94.8 percent to validate his nomination in an election supervised by the Metropolitan office of the Electoral Commission (EC).
He pledged his commitment to work with all stakeholders to accelerate the development of the Kumasi metropolis.
“My endorsement has placed a huge task on my shoulders, but with determination, hard work and assistance from all the stakeholders, I’m optimistic of telling a success story at the end of my tenure,” he said.
Speaking on Peace FM's ''Kokrokoo'', Samuel Ayeh-Paye expressed excitement over Sam Pyne's approval saying, "I was glad when they approved Sam Pyne as Mayor of Kumasi . . . our biggest thanks goes to the Assembly members within Kumasi metropolis who voted to confirm Sam Pyne" but advised him to be down to earth in his service to the people of Kumasi.
He noted that, "consultation is key", hence called on Mr. Pyne to regularly meet with all stakeholders including Chiefs in the metropolis in order to meet the needs of the people.
