President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has suspended the Metropolitan Chief Executive (MCE) for Sekondi-Takoradi, Abdul-Mumin Issah.
His suspension follows his alleged assault of a police officer on Wednesday.
Mr. Abdul Mumin Issah’s suspension is pending an inquiry into his encounter with the Police on February 3, 2022 without prejudice to the matter now before Court.
A Statement signed by the Local Government Minister Dan Kwaku Botwe said the government takes a very dim view of the comments made by the Metropolitan Chief Executive during his exchanges with the Police.
It said the comments by the Chief Executive run contrary to the Government’s belief and work to ensure that the Security Agencies and indeed, Public Agencies are resourced, empowered and accorded the respect to deliver on their mandate.
In the interim, the Western Regional Minister, Kwabena Okyere Darko-Mensah has been assigned additional supervisory authority over the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolitan Assembly.
