Mypublisher24.com has intercepted the report on the much awaited Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chiefs Executives (MMDCEs) list.
Over 1,300 applied for 216 MMDCE vacancies nationwide even as the president is set to drop names.
In January, President Akufo-Addo directed all MMDCEs to remain at post until new ones are appointed.
President Akufo-Addo recently indicated that the list of Metropolitan, MMDCEs will be released this month.
“This month of September, all these matters will be resolved… in the course of this month, it will be done,” President Akufo-Addo said in response to a question on the matter in an interview with Skyypower FM in Takoradi as part of his tour of the Western Region.
He said the necessary consultations were ongoing to pick the right persons for the assemblies.
The official position of the presidency on the delay in appointing MMDCEs has been that it is not hampering development at the local government level.
Speaking on the delay, the President said “there is the need for broad consultations and that is what I have done. We have set up committees at the regional and national levels to make recommendations for me.”
“I have to really make sure the recommendations fit the political purposes of the government and respond to issues of competence, political suitability and all of these things.”
The appointment of MMDCEs is the sole preserve of the President, per Article 243 (1) of the 1992 Constitution.
At the moment, the government has been criticised for the lack of progress in appointing new MMDCEs eight months into a new administration.
But even as the country waits in bated breath this website has the list which is most likely to reflect the choice of the president….
