The General Secretary of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu has been explaining why the appointment of MMDCEs has been delayed. According to him, the team set up for the vetting of the MMDCEs aspirants had to make sure there was a gender balance in their selection. Also, the infusion of youthful people and other factors including ethnic backgrounds contributed to the delay in settling for the selected persons. Meanwhile, the committee formed to vet the MMDCEs aspirants have completed their work and have submitted the report to President Akufo-Addo. There is the need to ensure gender balance, the infusion of youthful people, and also to respond to local dynamics and ethnic backgrounds as well,” John Boadu told Citi News.
