Former District Chief Executive for Builsa North, Norbert Awulley, may face serious difficulties working in his new duty post, even if he manages to get members of the Builsa South District Assembly to confirm him as the DCE for Builsa South.
The youth in the Builsa South District have started kicking against his nomination as the DCE for the new district.
They accused him of showing sparse interest in the district and doing very little to develop it as the caretaker DCE, when the district was created in 2012.
Norbert Awulley, until his nomination for the position of the District Chief Executive for Builsa South, was the DCE for Builsa North, where he served the full four-year term.
The Builsa South youth, in a petition signed by Henry Ayeng to the Upper East Regional Minister, Alhaji Limuna Mohammed-Muniru, said the DCE-nominee had served for 12 years�from 1992 to 2004�as a Member of Parliament for the Builsa Constituency but could not boast of a single development project he brought to the area.
�The people of the constituency supported his bid to become the DCE for the Builsa District in 2009, simply because, no one from the Builsa South area had ever become a District Chief Executive and yet he failed to deliver to the satisfaction of the people.
The roof of the maternity block at the Fumbisi Health Centre got ripped off for years.
The community made several requests to have the place rehabilitated, yet he paid deaf ears to the calls.
The resulting effect is that, pregnant women had to deliver in the open.
The main road leading to the Fumbisi Health Centre has been in total darkness for years and people carrying patients to the centre at night do that at the risk of being bitten by snakes. Several appeals [were made] to have the road fixed with streetlights and yet nothing has been done,� the petition stated.
According to the youth, the main road leading to the Fumbisi Senior High School floods whenever it rains and becomes unmotorable. But the several petitions and requests to the Builsa District DCE, Mr Awulley, to get the road constructed or drains provided, fell on deaf ears.
The youth noted that they were not out for violence or anything that would disrupt the peace in the area, but were pleading with the President to annul the nomination of Mr Awulley. They were also entreating the assembly members not to confirm Mr Awulley�s nomination as the District Chief Executive for Builsa South.
