Some Assembly members in the Tamale metropolis have expressed concerns over the decision of the Tamale Metropolitan Chief Executive, Iddrisu Musah Superior to put on hold, some of his initiatives that would lead to the restoration of sanity within the metropolis.
The MCE at the Assembly’s second ordinary session in Tamale, had announced the suspension of an exercise that was meant to restore discipline and sanity in the metropolis.
According to a frustrated mayor, Musah Superior, the exercise had received backlash and lacked public support. In addition to that, he blamed the assembly members’ failure to support the initiatives, hence its suspension forthwith.
However Diamond News interaction with some of the assembly members exposed otherwise. They said they were unhappy with MCE’s decision since they had given their fullest support, except that; Musah Superior unilaterally took decisions and actions without involving them effectively. This things they stated, accounted for the setbacks.
The assembly members also attributed their inability to constitute the Behsung Taskforce within their localities to the lack of funds and other logistics. The assembly members want the MAYOR to reverse his decision.
