A member of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) communication team in the Bolgatanga Municipality of the Upper East Region Abdallah Salifu has said, the Bolgatanga Municipality needs the type of Peter Ayinbisa of Bongo District to bring development in the Municipality.
Mr. Salifu made the pronouncement during an exclusive interview with Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen of Apexnews Gh.
According to him, the work of MMDCEs shouldn’t be seen as a spending officer job, but rather a job to more creative and anxious of looking for development in and outside the region for the betterment of the Municipality.
He further sighted examples with the acting DCE for Bongo District Peter Ayinbisa who he said has been working hard by way of searching for development outside his district office far away in Accra.
“We need the type of Peter Ayinbisa as MCE in the Bolgatanga Municipality, we need someone who can operate like him or even operate more than him, someone who can go to Accra and lobby for projects, and someone who knows the ministers and the Ministers know him. We don’t need someone who will only sit and wait for funds to come and he became a spending officer. When you do that, you are killing the Assembly. We want someone who has revenue-generating skills”.
Meanwhile, he insisted that Bolgatanga as a Municipality has the capacity to generate its own revenue to develop the Municipality.
