Video: Kumawu MP Philip Basoa Prevented From DCE Confirmation
There was drama at the renomination and confirmation of Samuel Addai Agyekum as the District Chief Executive for Kumawu in the Ashanti Region.Having failed to secure two-third votes on two consecutive processes for his confirmation, it was a do-or-die affair when it came down to a final chance on Friday, October 15, 2021.Only Assembly Members perceived to be loyalists of the nominee were granted accreditation to participate in the confirmation exercise.One prominent figure who failed to gain access to the assembly hall where the voting was taking place was the Member of Parliament, Philip Basoa.A video-making rounds show the legislator pleading fruitlessly with the Presiding Member of the Assembly to intervene but to no avail.“PM, you are supposed to allow me entry, you are the person who invited… you invited us to participate,” he told the Presiding Member who shoved him off and dashed into the hall while the MP attempted to follow him with shouts of “no, no, no don’t go.”The nominee, Samuel Addai Agyekum on Friday reportedly gained a 100% endorsement as all 28 assembly members who participated in the exercise voted in his favour.Watch how the MP was prevented from the voting assembly hall in the video below:Call our Editor on 0209391902 or click here and inform us via Whatsapp. You could equally email your stories or articles to [email protected] and we’ll surely put them online
