Madam Emelia Arthur, Deputy Western Regional Minister, on Wednesday said assembly members were not kingmakers in their various electoral areas and should therefore stay away from chieftaincy affairs.\u201cAvoid the temptation to arrogate to yourself the power to install a chief or side with a faction in any chieftaincy dispute in your electoral area\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n
Madam Arthur, who said this at an orientation workshop for both
old and new assembly members in the Mpohor Wassa East District
Assembly, noted that such temptation could likely create troubles in
their roles as assembly members.<\/p>\n
She said their appointment did not make them superior saying, \u201cin
your daily activities, you will encounter traditional rulers, civil
society organizations, the youth and all shades of groups of
individuals and you are expected to be courteous\u201d.<\/p>\n
Madam Arthur also called for the cooperation with all
stakeholders for the development of their electoral areas.
The orientation according to Mr Anthony Bassaw, District Chief
Executive of the area, is to equip assembly members with the rudiments
of local government process as well as building their capacity for
effective decentralization.<\/p>\n
She urged them to take the training seriously and also apply the
tenets in their daily activities in order to raise the level of
development in the District.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
