President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has suspended the District Chief Executive (DCE) for the Upper Denkyira West in the Central Region, Daniel Appianing from office.
The suspension of the DCE comes on the heels of some disparaging remarks he made regarding the murder of the late Military Captain Maxwell Mahama.
He has been directed to hand over to the Deputy Central Regional Minister, Thomas Adjei Baffoe.
The Minister for Local Government and Rural Development upon the instructions of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo issued a letter to that effect.
The DCE, commenting on the murder of the late Military Captain, said he was the leader of a military detachment to the area to protect illegal miners and purported his death may have occurred due to his involvement in illegal mining (galamsey).
The late Capt. Mahama of the 5th Infantry Battalion was heading a Military detachment deployed to the community three weeks ago.
More to follow soon.

Please don`t let us bring politics in this issue because it can happen to any of us. Those calling Akufu Addo like he is a small boy to them must stop.He has taken a bold decision by suspending the DCE and there is nothing we can do about it.The same thing happened during JM`s time.Good job done our able President.
This Akufo Addo guy should step down himself. He is a hypocrite. His coming to power has really caused us a lot as Ghanaians interms of our peace and security. This country is so ***barred word*** to die for, i tell you. This should be a wake up call on each and every Ghanaian, if you make any mistake and get killed or die for this country, that ends the case. We are found of showing sympathy in the early stages of this cases, and once the media stop discussing it, it dies and accused let go.Again, we should stop been hypocrites as Ghanaians and also making other Ghanaians less important knowing very well that these things have been happening. Is it because he was a soldier? I dont support what happened though, RIP man!
The DCE is on point, why can't we investigate what the DCE have said ? now i know GH we hate the truth , he is the DCE so have something to say n he have said , i condemn the act of instance justice, but let us say the truth, sacking the DCE is WRONG !!!, OOOH GHANA ! HMMMM
So far no one is talking about the fact that the military was guarding a mining firm mining in forest reserves. Who gave them that authority? Who owns that mining firm? Ibrahim Mahama? Remember the bars of gold to Kuwait seized in Turkey, where was it from? Massa, be courageous Nana Addo will be ashamed to see you as a DCE next year whenthe people vote for you.
We have a very intelligent President and am very impressed with the way the President is handling the issue.. First the DCE made certain allegations and His comments were very provocative..He is been punish for the provocative comment but His allegations are been investigated and that is why He is been suspended if investigations are carried out and the things he said cannot not be proven then he will be sacked.. This man is too wise..If He doesn't do that people will say He is covering up for the soldiers..If the allegations are found to be truth then I think he has to be re-instated because galamsay is killing us and nobody should protect this Chinese people or anybody involved in it..
Everyone is so emotionally charged and refusing to think. kudos to the DEV who is standing firm. He appears to be standing strong cos he is standing on truth. Someone has been killed and the whole nation in acting jelly. Tuo tow a etwere obarima no. The fact that a soldier has died does not mean the dce must shirk his responsibility and deviate from the facts. I support the dce
When did the soldiers first sent to the area. Was it before or after NPP took over.
That was a smart move Mr. President You did the right thing. As Leader within the community, the DCE should have known better. After investigation fire him to serve as example. God bless our homeland Ghana
COMPLETELY REMOVE HIM, NOT SUSPEND. HE SHOULDN'T BE IN THAT POSITION EVER AGAIN. HE IS BEHIND THE KILLING OF THAT NOBLE MAN....CRA...Z....Y F0000001 AND A S+U===P===ID GUY FOR REAL. HE IS THE ONE WHO DESERVES TO DIE, NOT THE CAPTAIN.
Am much happy Mr President ... You have really impressed the country ...the rule of Law is now working but rearrest the J.B Danquah suspect and the 7 invincible forces
