PETITION TO SACK ELLEMBELLE DCE, HON.

KWASI BONZOH WITH

IMMEDIATE EFFECT.

We, the Concerned NPP Youth/ Concerned Polling Station Executives and

Concerned Electoral Area Coordinators, petition your good office to relieve the DCE

of Ellembelle, Hon. Kwasi Bonzoh from office with immediate effect to save the

image of the party and the District from further dwindling.

We have wholeheartedly supported Hon. Kwasi Bonzoh ever since his appointment

as District Chief Executive of Ellembelle in 2017 till date with the sole motive of

ensuring development of the district and bringing absolute peace to the party so as

to wrestle the seat from the NDC party.

On the contrary, the repeated transgressions of the Hon. Kwasi Bonzoh, is now a

threat to Ellembelle and inimical to the survival of the party.

Your Excellency the President of the Republic of Ghana, we hope you are privy to

the series of petitions written to your office by the former executives highlighting the

gross misconduct of the Hon. DCE which among them has to do with his nonsupport

of party activities, persistent creation of division in the party, his involvement in

galamsey activities, just to mention but a few.

As if those are not enough, his recent conduct has iretrate our call for his immediate

dismissal.

His behaviour has constantly put NPP in Ellembelle into public ridicule and sank the

party beyond salvage. Some of the reasons are as follows:

Involvement in Galamsey activities

We can authoritatively say that our DCE, Hon Kwasi Bonzoh is neck deep in the

galamsey activities which have destroyed some water bodies in the district,

something your government is trying so hard to fight. This is a public knowledge as

some of the galamsey kingpins are living under his roof.

One cannot fathom why as the head of the District Security Council and with all the

political powers will allow galamsey activities to flourish day and night for months at

a distance less than half Km from his office.

Most major stakeholders including traditional authorities in the district were

extremely perturbed when her Ladyship, Mrs. Awo Amissah was transferred from

the district all because she admitted to an open secret that the substantial noise of

the galamseyers at the back of her residence gives her sleepless night and that she

had to move from her official resident. Due to this, the district has no magistrate as

of now.

His attempt to cover up led to the interdiction of the then Divisional Police

Commander, ACP Dodzi Hlordz, and the transfer of some assembly staff who

fiercely protested against his involvement in the galamsey activities at the back of

their residence. This has seriously dented the reputation of the party in the district.

As ardent members of the party, we cannot sit aloof for Hon Kwasi Bonzoh to send

the party to the slaughter House for his personal against.

His purported media war against galamsey is known by the grassroots of the party

and most opinion leaders in the district as cosmetic and face saving exercise to

cover up his guilt.

Therefore, we are appealing to you. as a matter of urgency to act accordingly to

redeem our party.

Instigating Unnecessary Demonstrations And Attacks on Party Leaders

Ellembelle NPP has neither known nor enjoyed peace ever since Hon. Kwasi

Bonzoh became the DCE. He always engaged in acts that in one way or the other

creates division and this continues to thicken by the day. Attacks and insults on

party leaders have been the norm. He always instigates his boys to insult prominent

party leaders within the Party who can help win the seat from the NDC. The regional

chairman and the former national chairman have all been victims.

He organized an unwarranted demonstration in 2017 and bused innocent people

from the constituency to the party head office, Accra to demonstrate over frivolous

allegations which could have been resolved peacefully in the constituency.

Mr. President, Ellembelle was one of the peaceful constituencies in the country until

Hon. Kwasi Bonzoh became the DCE, that every polling station election were

always characterized by immense violence and brutality all in the name of winning

parliamentary primaries.

Our call for his immediate removal essentially hinges on the recent attack, Hon.

Bonzoh masterminded which could have resulted in civil unrest and an attack on

Ghana Gas Processing Plant at Atuabo all because he wanted to be appointed as

deputy CEO at the company. If the police had not intervened and caused the

immediate arrest of some of the boys who publicly declared they were going to burn
down the Gas Processing Plant at Atuabo, it could have been a sad day for

Ghana. This selfish and unpatriotic attitude is not deserving of a DCE.

Despite the police arrest, Hon. Bonzoh also instigated another set of the youth of

which some of them lives under the same roof with him to demonstrate at a durbar

held to climax the Kundum festival of Eastern Nzema Traditional Council, Atuabo

despite previous engagement with the Board Chair of Ghana Gas, Hon Kennedy

Agyapong who happens to be the guest of honor of the ceremony.

This is a blatant disrespect for traditional authorities because this durbar brought

together all the chiefs in the district to climax the Kumdum festival.

The party again was in the bad news and ridiculed for something Hon. Kennedy

Agyapong tried his best to avoid but the DCE refused. Hon. Bonzoh has to be

removed immediately to avert doom for NPP and Ghana.

Development on IGF

Ellembelle District is fortunate to have been surrounded by a good number of

companies that pays property rate and business operating permit regularly to the

District Assembly. Among these major companies are Quantum PLC, Adamus

Resource LTD, ENI Ghana, and Ghana Gas Company Ltd.

It is therefore expected that the District Assembly will have substantial funds to

undertake a lot of IGF Projects in the District to enhance the party fortunes of

winning the 2024 elections.

It was recently established that Ghana Gas alone has paid close to 8 million Ghana

Cedis as property rate and business operating permit to the District Assembly since
2017. It is also rumored that Quantum PLC, Adamus resource LTD, and ENI Ghana

have also paid substantial amount on the same premises to the Assembly for the

past six years.

Despite all these internally Generated Funds very little has been seen as IGF

projects in the District.

The party can only boast of CODA projects and a few Common Fund Projects as an

achievement.

Party communicators have consulted the DCE on several occasions to at least

outline some projects or activities being carried out by IGF from these companies

since a lot of pressure groups, traditional authorities, and the opposition parties are

calling for accountability but all falling in deaf ears. There is virtually nothing to show

from these huge sums of money paid to the assembly.

What has exacerbated the situation is the recent details provided by Ghana Gas

Company on actual payments made to the Ellembele district assembly.

This was occurstrated by accusations levelled against Ghana Gas for not

contributing to the development of the district .

Moreover, our independent checks from the companies mentioned above suggest

that a lot of monies have been paid to the District Assembly.

The impending agitations from pressure groups, traditional authorities and the

opposition parties are too immersed and affecting the image of the party in the

district.
We are of the view that these huge funds could have been used properly to

enhance the chances of the party to annex the parliamentary seat in the next

election but unfortunately that is not the case in Ellembelle.

We therefore call for the immediate removal of Hon. Bonzoh as the DCE  to save

the party from going into the abiss.

Again, we call for independent audit to be carried out since your government detests

the misapplication of public funds.

We are also by this petition inviting the Local Government and Rural Development

Ministry to take interest in this matter and initiate detailed investigations to salvage

the image of the NPP Party and the Government at large.

We are aware that Hon. Bonzoh has repeatedly boasted about his relationship with

the President and we quote “I am the darling boy of the president, all DCE’s in

Ghana can be sacked but not me. The president still nominated me when I was

excluded from the vetting committee’s list to him”.

But for the betterment of the constituency and to curtail endless disunity in the

party, we strongly believe it is about time the President acted on such unscrupulous

behaviour of Hon. Kwasi Bonzoh and save the party from total collapse in the

constituency.
