The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) Bernard Antwi Boasiako aka Chairman Wontumi, has said the party’s Regional Secretary, Sam Pyne couldn’t have landed a better appointment than the Kumasi Abattoir job.
Samuel Pyne and Communications Director of the party Kwasi Kyei a fortnight ago were given government appointment to serve on the board of Kumasi Abattoir which falls under SSNIT.
The two were recognized after the party’s foot soldiers, and serial callers started questioning the basis for their neglect by the government appointing authority after 2016 elections victory.
Checks from the regional office of the party say, the two, received their formal appointments through Dr. Kwame Addo Kuffour, Board Chairman of Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) about three months ago.
A source in the regional office of the party disclosed that Mr Pyne was disappointed in the appointment but couldn’t reject it because of the respect he has for the former Defence Minister Dr. Addo Kuffour when he broke the news to him.
The two board members of the Kumasi Abattoir are entitled to 200 Ghana Cedis allowance per each sitting. Again they are also entitled to a weekly package of meat from the Kumasi Abattoir.
Commenting on Mr Pyne’s appointment, Chairman Wontumi said the party is excited over the appointment and grateful to President Nana Akufo Addo for the honour done the hardworking party scribe.
“Sam Pyne’s popularity has soared with this appointment, he has fans all over the place now. As we prepare ourselves for the extraordinary National Conference later this month, I can assure you that there’ll be lots of meat to eat when we meet with Sam Pyne in the helm of affairs. Even when we’re reciting the Lord’s pray we only ask God for two things, to give us our daily bread and to forgive us our trespasses. So when you have food like Sam Pyne has, then he must be okay. It’s a good appointment that has been made.”

Chairman wontumi must learn to think as a leader and stop the childish acts. I cant think far for such a contract but yet still am glad he didnt reject it
I find these comments very ridiculous. The President says he has an agenda for Ghana Beyond Aid, and yet when people are appointed into public positions (executive and oversight) we seem not to know on what basis or criteria they are appointed. If the Ashanti Regional Chairman of NPP thinks that by this appointment Mr. Sam Pyne will never lack meat, then there is something very wrong with his mindset. Is Sam Pyne the owner of the Abattoir? He is merely a fiduciary trustee, who should be buying meat like every other person who goes to the Abattoir. Ghana still has a long way to go with people like this person in politics.
i hope this appointment is coming from gabby and his ally asante bediatuo, look no one is saying is bad but sit down and imagine a whole regional secretary of the party largest voters or stronghold only having meat appointment while the likes of even lesser votes regions are been appointed regional ministers, better not to have appointed than to disgrace. people who doesnt know must read hear, kwesi kyei is physically challenge but did not rest a bit in moving from radio to radio so what is wrong if he is board member of ECG, TOR, GRIDCO, NCA etc to enjoy better than gh 200 while kromfo JOSPONG mpo you guys are pampering him with a new contract, hmmm are ma people making me wish for alan?, are ma people not rediculing the secretary and communications director of a party stronghold, well, politics i can confirm now is like forest trees, too united from afar but split once gotten closer
