Is a known fact that some of these appointees bribed their way through to secure their appointments. How on earth that one candidate, Isaac Incoom the appointee of Asene Manso Akroso was the only candidate presented to the Mac Manu committee. As a person from Asene, our candidate was rejected by Senior Minister who is the personality behind this because the current MCE for Birim Central Municipality who had his appointment through AMA constituency had to be secured at Oda because of petition on his staying by some constituents as my constituency AMA were resolute not to accept such a dormant, non-performance and criminal record person as our DCE. Therefore, Senior Minister and his cohorts had no choice than to dump him on Birim Central Municipality as a face saving. Anyway, there are rumours going round in the constituency about monetary transaction of GHS1 20,000 which has taken place and names will be dropped by the opponents of Alex Incoom in his confirmation election. According to them if he had such money to pay to seure his appointment they Assembly members are not going to demand the normal GHS1 000 At the end of the day is scandalous for the Senior Minister, our MP Aboagye and his uncle to get themselves involved. Now a boarder line is drawn for the upcoming Parliamentary Primaries in the constituency and we shall fight against people like Mr Osafo Marfo and Capt Koda interference
