Government appointees serving on the fourth assembly of the La Dade-Kotopon Municipal Assembly (LaDMA) have been urged to use their expertise to help the assembly achieve its development goals.
The Presiding Member (PM) for LaDMA, Emmanuel Nyarko Baah, made the call at short swearing-in ceremony of five new appointees of the assembly at La on Monday.
According Mr Baah, the inclusion of the appointees was very critical to the decision making process of the assembly, adding that their presence in addition to the elected assembly members would help the assembly attain its two-thirds majority during meetings. "You were appointed because of your vast expertise so you cannot sit down with us at meetings without sharing your knowledge on how best the assembly could attain its developmental goals" he said.
The PM pleaded with the appointees to work closely with all assembly members in their respective electoral areas to offer prompt suggestions on urgent developmental matters in the area. "You are assembly members without electoral area but with the oversight responsibilities and powers over all the 10 electoral areas in the municipality, you are to offer suggestions on sensitive matters that needs urgent attention" he said.
