The District Chief Executive (DCE) for Bosome-Freho in the Ashanti Region, Yaw Danso is in a difficult political situation as majority of the assembly members have turned against and rebuffed attempts by the political establishment to get them to back down from their decision to remove him from office through a vote of no confidence.
The Bosome-Freho District Assembly is made up of 32 members, 21 of them were elected by the people in the electoral areas, nine appointed by the government, plus the District Chief Executive and the Member of Parliament (MP) for the area.
The 22 rebel assembly members are accusing Yaw Danso of denying them access to motorbikes meant to enhance their work and for inciting people in their various electoral areas against them.
Maxwell De-graft Boakye, one of the rebel assembly members, who have sworn to remove Yaw Danso from his position, says it was up to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to take the DCE from the place and put him at the Presidency or to appoint him as the Regional Minister.
He adds that Yaw Danso could also be made the Regional Chairman of the governing New Patriotic Party and they would have no problem with any of that.
Their position is simply that the Bosome-Freho District Assembly cannot contain them and Yaw Danso.
The decision to pass a vote of no confidence in the DCE, is irreversible and non-negotiable.
According to him, they made this clear to a delegation led by Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei Mensah, that was in the district to try and get them to soften their position.
Removing Yaw Danso appears not yet a done deal as another group of assembly members rally to his support.
This group has dismissed the accusations made against the DCE.
Yaw Danso was recently in the news for an unsavoury comment in response to a question regarding his whereabout.
