District Chief Executive (DCE) of Atwima Mponua Assembly in the Ashanti Region, Yaw Darko Williams Darko, has rubbished the statement by Atwima Mponua Zongo Youth Association (ZYA), suggesting that he has neglected them.
According to the DCE, the allegation was unfounded and baseless, adding that the leadership of the group, led by Yusiff Moro, Alhaji Faisal and Arimeyaw Abdul Rahman, are known activists of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), whose stock-in-trade is to destroy his hard won reputation and that of the MP for the area.
In this regard, the DCE urged the Zongo community in his area to have confidence in his ability to turn the fortunes of the district around and support him massively to actualise his dream.
“We will make judicious use of the assembly’s internally generated funds and resources to benefit everyone,” he told Today in an interview via telephone, while responding to the allegation by the youth group.
The group has accused the DCE and the MP of the area of neglect and gross respect after using them to win political power during the 2016 general election.
Speaking on Silver FM in Kumasi, the spokesperson for the group, Yusiff Moro, questioned the honesty of political actors including the DCE and the MP after promising them jobs and for which reason they voted massively for them.
Yusiff Moro also accused the DCE of conniving with some assembly members to vote against their Muslim brother, Baba Yaro, when he contested the presiding member slot for the district.
But in a quick rebuttal, the DCE, Yaw Darko Williams Darko, reiterated his love for Zongo communities, stressing that his administration only seeks the welfare of all, without any form of discrimination.
He assured the chiefs and people of the Zongo community that the assembly would not neglect them but rather work hard to improve education, health and provide security.
“If I neglect the Zongos, I will be neglecting myself because I am one of them and as I am speaking to you now we are going to cut a sod for the opening of a 16-seater water closet toilet facility in the community,” he disclosed.
According to him, even though the community was noted for supporting the NDC, the party was not able to do that project for them.
“It is because of this project that is why they have decided to go on radio today just to divert attention and make those misguided statements against me and the MP,” he claimed.

Uncomfortable **
Those ndc youth in Ashanti region will do themselves good by relocating to regions dominated by the ndc. I can't understand why they have business in doing in Ashanti region to try and push back the progress and prosperity of Ashanti, if you are born in Ashanti and a settler it doesn't make you an Ashanti so if you feel in comfortable just relocate that's all,this is no complain of neglect. Who cares if ndc members are neglected? people who will never be satisfied even if you offer your head on a silver platter leave them to rot their party also neglected the Ashanti region so what are they talking about? Somebody tell those ndc Zongo youth to go to Bole Bamboi that is where ndc infrastructure are and that is where they will never be neglected. Even President Rawlings who founded the ndc was neglected by the ndc how much more ndc members living in Ashanti region. Give us a break! if everybody will complain not ndc members in Ashanti region who have an option to relocate to their ndc regions DCE tell them to go to hell! there is no way to pamper some people over others in Ghana . They feel dissatisfied in Ashanti let them go to Bole Bamboi! Nons*ense ! listen to the Zongo youth who are not ndc not ndc nation wreckers !
