The Bono Regional Youth Organizer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Efo Worlanyo Tsekpo has fired back at the Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Hajia Alima Mahama for kicking against the proposal for payment of Assembly Member.
The outspoken youth leader said “I see this action by Nana Addo as a shared wickedness and witchcraft because these Honourable members spend a lot to get elected and the responsibilities on them after winning their elections are more than that of the MPs because they are directly with the people.”
The proposal to pay Assembly Member is being pushed by former President John Manama.

Am shocked to hear the Local government Minister kicked against the payment proposal of all our law makers at our various assemblies and called it unnecessary.
I see this action by Nana Addo as a shared wickedness and witchcraft because these Honourable members spend a lot to get elected and the responsibilities on them after winning their elections are more than that of the MPs because they are directly with the people.
I don’t know why government has decided to kick against this brilliant Proposal of John Dramani Mahama.
NDC has been faithful to our assembly members and started by giving them motorbikes and giving them special allowances for sitting.
According to President John Dramani Mahama, in his next government all assembly members will be on monthly salary to help them buy fuel into their motto bikes to continue their hard work at their various electoral areas.
Let’s support the man with vision to get the job done.
Efo Worlanyo Tsekpo.
