The Presiding Member noted that, the Assembly Members were ready and would support the MCE to succeed, but was quick to add that the MCE must be ready to listen to the Assembly Members, so they can also confirm him without any difficulty.
According to him development in Ashaiman had stalled, saying it could be the reason why the Municipality slipped from the eight position to 80th on the local government performance contract table for the year ending 2020.
“It was time all hands be brought on deck to develop Ashaiman@ he added.
