MCE threatened to have him transferred as a punishment. He said "people live and work there" and I felt that.”Another from @Kwamekkwah said: “I concur.

You cannot suspend Mayor of STMA – Akufo-Addo told
Speaking on JoyNews’ ‘The Pulse’ programme on Friday, Dr Fiadomor indicated that the only body entitled to take such an action is the General Assembly of Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolitan Assembly (STMA). Once the Assembly confirms a Chief Executive, that Chief Executive now becomes a member of the Assembly of STMA that can meet and suspend the Chief Executive on stated grounds but the President doesn’t have the requisite standard to suspend the Chief Executive,” he explained. So immediately a Chief Executive is confirmed, he now becomes a bonafide member of the Assembly. The Chief Executive if he unfortunately dies, leaves the position. The General Assembly by the two-thirds majority can remove the Chief Executive from office.

Sekondi MCE case: We’ve not understood the concept of constitutionalism - Antwi-Danso
He was reacting to the news of the suspended Municipal Chief Executive Officer (MCE) for Sekondi-Takoradi, Abdul-Mumin Issah, by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. The MCE is alleged to have committed a motor traffic offence and verbally assaulted a police officer who was performing his lawful duty. “All these things show that we have not understood the essence of constitutionalism and institutionalism. The institutions must accept their independence and that they are there according to only what the constitution says. If we do all things, then I think people in authority will also respect institutions,” he said.

GJA is now Ghana Jokers Association - Manasseh Azure
By that, the multiple award-winning investigative and anti-corruption journalist said that the sorry state of the current GJA makes it appear more like an association for jokers, rather than what it should be. “The GJA of today has lost a sense of direction. The GJA of today has lost its sense of purpose. The GJA of today has even lost its sense of shame because the extent to which they’ll stoop so low. The GJA of today does not stand for the interest of journalists and the GJA as we have it today can be best described as the Ghana Jokers Association and not Ghana Journalists Association,” he said.

The Supreme Court Justices who granted injunction application against Assin North MP
General News of Wednesday, 2 February 2022Source: www.ghanaweb.comInjunction application was granted by the Supreme CourtSeven Justices granted the applicationThe application was against the Assin North MPA seven-member Supreme Court Justices granted an injunction application against the Assin North NDC MP, James Gyakye Quayson, after a member of the governing NPP prayed to the Court to bar the MP from holding himself as a parliamentarian. The High Court had ruled on August 4, 2021, that, the NDC MP at the time of filing his documents to contest the election in Assin North, still held allegiance to another country other than Ghana. But the MP appealed the decision and prayed that the Appeals Court suspends the execution of a high court order that seeks to remove him as an elected Member of Parliament. Quayson, through his lawyers, argued that “if the execution of the judgement is not stayed, the people of the Assin North Constituency will lack representation in Parliament for a significant period. “If the High Court decision does not stay, it could give rise to considerable political tension in the Assin North Constituency and possible disturbances of the peace.”
