A group calling itself “Concerned Youth of the National Democratic Congress (NDC)” is calling on President Mills to remove Kale Ceaser, Deputy Upper West Regional Minister for displaying “gross incompetence.”
This is not the first time NDC foot soldiers are making such demands, as the office of the President is inundated with series of petitions and calls for the removal of government appointees from office.
The news release was issued in Wa, the Upper West Regional capital on Monday and signed by Konnuba Joseph Kan-Saambayelle Koolongbe, leader of the group under the title “Appointment of a new Upper West Regional Minister.”
It said, “Your Excellency, we are hereby calling on you to remove urgently the Deputy Upper West Regional Minister from office as clearly he has shown gross incompetence in building a unified party and people.
“Do not listen to any suggestion to appoint Hon. Ceaser as the new Regional Minister for this will continue to make the party unpopular in the region. We will not also sit and allow such to happen as we have sacrificed a lot to bring the party to power.
“A section of the regional executives can come over to the Osu Castle trying to impress upon you to appoint Hon. Kale as the political head of the region. You have liberty of listening to them but please bear in mind that what the Upper West Region needs now is a unifier, peace maker and someone who relates well with the rank and file of the party and more importantly someone who has dully served the core interests of the party.
There is now a clear division in the party. The Deputy Regional Minister openly supports one side. Mr. President, to restore unity and sanity among the rank and file of the NDC in the region, Hon. Kale Caesar is no where near the right choice for the Upper West Regional Minister. He is a disincentive to achieving the needed peace and stability that is required for the NDC in the region as he clearly supports one faction.
“The Upper West Region needs someone who respects the youth, listens to the advice of the ever watchful and silent elders, believes in due process and will not stand for or tolerate hooliganism.”
“A section of the regional executives are not helping matters. Is it because they have been imposed on the NDC and they do not recognize that the will of the people must prevail? The Regional Chairman and Regional Secretary were declared unopposed even though more competent and qualified people were interested in those positions during the last regional executive elections in preparation for a moment like this. All this is the handy work of the Deputy Upper West Regional Minister.”
“Sections of the regional executives are on the move once again to force down the throats of the popular masses of the NDC, a Regional Minister after nicodamously removing Hon. Khalid Mahmud and attempting without success to soil his hard won reputation.”
“We understand and are sure that sections of the Regional Executives are in Accra once again pressing hard for the appointment of Hon. Kale Caesar as the new Upper West Regional Minister after the removal of his boss.”
“Developments after the removal of Hon. Khalid Mahmud have indeed implicated Hon. Kale Ceasar. It is now clear that he orchestrated the removal of his boss with falsified reasons. First of all, he has not shown any sorrow or concern for his boss after he was removed.
“He has however surrounded himself with law breakers who form a motorcade and lead him to office, blowing the horns of their motorbikes. It is reminiscent of the way and manner in which those people broke into the RCC and made way with state properties. This goes against the very core principles of discipline within the party.
“Our great party seems to have its core values again drugged in the mud. Where are the values of brotherhood? Where are the values of honesty? Where are the values of due diligence? Where are the morals of let the right thing be?
