A Local Govern­ment expert and former Member of Parliament (MP) for Garu, Mr Dominic Azumah Azimbe, has reiterated the commitment of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) to appoint seasoned indi­viduals to oversee the operations of the Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) across the nation.

He said the party would stick to its avowed commitment to ensuring that well-disciplined, af­fable and experienced hands who understood the workings of the local government structure were appointed for the positions.

Mr Azimbe, a five-time Member of Parliament of Garu, spoke ex­clusively with the Ghanaian Times in Bolgatanga yesterday.

The Regional Coordination Council (RCC) has received an overwhelming total of 180 appli­cations from party supporters who played various roles in securing the significant victory of the NDC in the previous year's elections.
