Kadjebi (O/R), Feb 25, GNA-The National Vetting Committee of Metropolitan, Municipal, District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) have cleared three women aspirants from the Oti Region for vetting. 

Mabel Fadji Akakpo of Akan Constituency [Kadjebi], Agbesi Simon Dziwornu of Krachi West and Ester Kuma Odartey of Krachi East have been cleared to appear before the National Vetting Committee on Wednesday, February 26. 

This is according to a timetable release for the National Vetting of candidates for MMDCEs positions seen by the Ghana News Agency (GNA).  

These women who, hitherto, were not part of the earlier submission, would now battle it out with the 27 all men shortlisted candidates submitted earlier. 

One of the female aspirant who spoke to the GNA on condition of anonymity, said they were cleared on competency, but not on women equality ground.   

One hundred and forty-three candidates from nine Municipal and District Assemblies in the Oti Region had filed for MDCEs positions, but 27 have been shortlisted for consideration by the National Vetting Committee.
