Ejisu MCE accused of hijacking school feeding proram
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Women Organizers in the Ejuisu/Juaben Municipal of the Ashanti Region are in arms with the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) in the area, Hon. Serwaa Derchi accusing her of taking total control of the School Feeding Program in the area.
Over hundred polling station organizers in the constituency clad in black and red clothes besieged the administrative office of the MCE to show their displeasure against her discretion to appoint non-NPP members as cooks.
According to the aggrieved women organisers, Hon. Serwaa Derchi has failed to involve them as cooks and carterers of the feeding program in the constituency.
“Despite our huge contributions to the party’s victory in the last general elections, we are now being neglected by our own MCE”, they cried out to otecfmghan.com.
“We are not going to sit down because the party does not belong to her alone [the MCE]”, they fumed in an exclusive interview with reporter Kwabena Danso-Dapaah.
“We will continue to insist on what we deserve even if it will take us to the Flagstaff House”, calling on President Akufo-Addo to intervene.
The appointment and confirmation of Hon. Serwaa Derchi by the President was fiercely rejected by some NPP executives in the constituency which then took the intervention of regional and national executives of party to calm down tempers.
Meanwhile, some Women organizers in the three Northern Regions have also accused the Social and Gender Protection Minister, Hon. Otiko Afisa Djaba of extorting monies from them in the name of securing for them jobs as careers and cooks of the Ghana School Feeding Program.
