The District Chief Executive (DCE) of Kintampo South in the Brong Ahafo region, Kojo Nyame Datiakwa is reported to have assaulted an assemblyman, who led a group of concerned drivers to his office at Jema, near Kintampo last Wednesday. Eyewitnesses told DAILY GUIDE that the DCE, during the discussion with the concerned drivers which became a stand-off, flared up and angrily marched the Assemblyman for the Chirehin Electoral Area, Bright Appau and the drivers out of his office. According to eye witnesses, Mr Datiakwa opened his door and in attempt to drive his guests out of his office, hit the assemblyman on the back of his head which nearly landed him on the floor. The alleged action of the DCE, which surprised many including the drivers, created a scene at his office as he shouted on top of his voice, �leave my office, leave my office,� to attract a lot of people to the place. The assemblyman, Mr. Appau, who confirmed the incident to DAILY GUIDE, said he had officially petitioned the Presiding Member of the Assembly, who is the head of the Complaint Committee, to call the DCE to order. The Assemblyman said he decided to resort to internal structures within the assembly to seek redress instead of reporting the case to the police. Mr Datiakwa confirmed that he drove the assemblyman and the drivers out of his office, but denied claims that he assaulted anyone. �I did not assault him. I have never assaulted anyone before and I don�t plan to assault anyone. But I did ask them to leave my office. I opened the door and asked them to leave,� the DCE stated. According to the DCE, he spent a lot of time with the assemblyman and the drivers and wanted to attend to other visitors, but they insisted on staying. Mr. Datiakwa said the accusations were being made to embarrass him, saying �He (the assemblyman) wanted to cause an embarrassment to me because I did not hit him, and even if he was hit at all it wasn�t me.� The Assemblyman met the DCE in his office following a complaint he received from drivers who ply their trade in his electoral area about the decision by the DCE to use the police to relocate them from their current station at Jema to a new place with no justification. Mr. Appau said he made an appointment with the DCE and led the leadership of the drivers to the office. He said the DCE was not ready to listen to the grievances of the drivers as he was bent implementing the plans. He indicated that in the course of the discussion, the DCE, who seemed impatient with the drivers, asked them to leave his office. The concerned drivers corroborated the claims of the assemblyman, saying the DCE rudely drove them out of his office and hit the Assemblyman in the process. They accused the DCE of disregarding an agreement entered into with executives of PROTOA from Kintampo and forcibly destroy the lorry station sat Jema.
