Mr. Patrick Kwame Frimpong, the Ashanti Regional Dean of Presiding Members (PMs), who doubles as the National First Vice-Chairman of NALAG, has emphatically condemned a series of attacks on staff members of various metropolitan, municipal and district assemblies (MMDAs) across the country, as well as attacks on state properties by some members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

He said these attacks on innocent MMDAs personnel without any provocation must be condemned by all stakeholders.

Speaking to “The New Trust” newspaper on Friday, 10th January 2024, Mr. Frimpong, who is also the elected Assembly member for the Krofrom Electoral Area within the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) and Presiding Member (PM) of the same Assembly, was not happy about the reccurrence of such needless attacks on staff members of MMDAs and state properties every time there is a change of government in the Fourth Republic.

It would be recalled that soon after the immediate past vice-president and NPP 2024 Presidential Candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, publicly conceded defeat and congratulated the winner, Mr. John Mahama, there has been a series of attacks on various state properties and personnel of such institutions/agencies, especially MMDAs.

Unfortunately, both government and security agencies have failed to address the incidents.

Mr. Frimpong is, therefore, calling on the Inspector General of Police and his men to rise up to the occasion and deal mercilessly with the culprits to serve as a deterrent to others to prevent reccurrence.

He stressed the need for all NDC members suspected to be leading the attacks to stop. It is highly expected that the NDC leadership should also rise up and call their supporters to order.

“We can’t continue to sit down unconcerned to allow innocent MMDAs staff members and other state agencies to suffer at the hands of these criminal elements in Ghanaian politics.
After the peaceful elections, let’s all stay united and rally behind the President to move the nation forward for the good of all Ghanaians, without compounding the challenges of the nation,” he added.
