The District Chief Executive (DCE), for Sekyere East at Effiduase in the Ashanti Region, Mary Boatemaa Marfo, has been sacked from her post.
In a letter signed by a Deputy Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Kwasi Boateng Adjei, it stated that the Regional Minister, Simon Osei-Mensah, is to take oversight responsibility until a new DCE is appointed.
The decision takes immediate effect.
Although no reason was cited in the letter for her dismissal, it comes after Mary Boatemaa Marfo allegedly vowed to reduce the votes of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Effiduase-Asokore Constituency during the December 7 polls.
In a leaked audio, the DCE is heard in a conversation with a party member saying she will frustrate voters on election day which will in turn reduce the votes of the NPP and the MP, Dr. Nana Ayew Afriyie.
