Offinso South Assembly In Limbo As Members Fail To Elect Presiding Member, MCE Voices Concern

The Offinso South Municipal Assembly remains without a Presiding Member after Assembly Members once again failed to elect one, a situation the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Hon. Frank Owusu Amoah, has described as deeply disappointing.

Hon. Owusu Amoah expressed his displeasure over the repeated inability of members to reach agreement on who should lead them as Presiding Member, despite several attempts.

Addressing Assembly Members, he described the development as worrying and unfortunate, warning that the continued delay is affecting the smooth running of the Assembly and slowing down development in the municipality.

According to him, the Presiding Member plays a crucial role in presiding over Assembly meetings, ensuring order, and facilitating the approval of important decisions, budgets and development plans for Offinso South.

Without a Presiding Member, he noted, the Assembly cannot effectively carry out its mandate, and key issues affecting the people will continue to stall.

He therefore appealed to Assembly Members to put aside personal and political differences and work together in the interest of the people of Offinso South.

Hon. Owusu Amoah further urged members to demonstrate maturity and unity, and to elect a Presiding Member as soon as possible to enable the Assembly to move forward with its development agenda.
