Mills on 13 Municipal and District Chief Executives, those who escaped the President\u2019s whip, and are still at post are under intense blackmail by party executives.<br \/>\nThe Enquirer newspaper without any fear of contradiction can say that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) party executives in some constituencies are making demands that can simply not be met by the respective MMDCEs.<br \/>\nApart from the party executives, contractors are also plainly blackmailing the MMDCEs. The Enquirer last Monday received a phone call from two DCEs, who would not like to be named, one in the Ashanti Region and the other from the Eastern Region, cataloguing how the party executives are harassing them.<br \/>\nThe DCE, from the Ashanti Region, who spoke to The Enquirer for almost one hour, said that the party chairman in his area came to him demanding a vehicle to use as a taxi. \u201cMy brother, my attempt to explain to him that his demand amounts to blackmail made him to go haywire,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nHe told The Enquirer that, immediately after that, the party chairman met with other party executives and hatched a plan to write a letter about him to The Presidency. \u201cOne of them hinted me but he too came with another demand that he needed some \u00a220 million for his farming activities,\u201d he added.<br \/>\nAccording to him, since the President fired the 13 DCEs he has known no peace. \u201cThe worst of it all is that \u2018wait and see\u2019 is now the catchphrase of the party executives in my area,\u201d he added. He told The Enquirer that the party executives are also in league with certain contractors who are peddling lies about him.<br \/>\n\u201cIn my quest to have quality projects the contractors are also blackmailing me,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nOn the part of the DCE from the Eastern Region, he said that the heat on him was simply unthinkable. \u201cMy party executives that I have been working with are now treating me like a stranger and are making demands that the assembly cannot meet,\u201d he said. He told The Enquirer that it was becoming clear that some of the party executives want to even demand their housekeeping money from him. \u201cThey are forgetting that the President appointed us to serve the people and that they feel that apart from them I should not attend to any other person in my office,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nHe told The Enquirer that on one particular Sunday while he was in church, a party executive followed him there with a demand because he could not meet him at his office the previous Friday. \u201cMy explanation to him that I was in Accra for urgent meeting and that he should come to the office the next day made him angry and he started with the \u2018wait and see\u2019 thing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following the cracking of the whip by President J.E.A.
