The appointees are to ensure that government businesses at the  Assembly were executed perfectly to bring development and promote  good governance at the local government level. Mr David Adoliba, Presiding Member (PM) of the Assembly made the  call at the swearing in of nine government appointees by Mr Prosper Gomashi, the Bawku Circuit Court Judge in Bawku.

Mr Adoliba urged the appointees to bury their political  differences and forge ahead to contribute towards the development  of the area, and said unity among them would bring about perfect  consensus to promote quality livelihood for the people in the  area.

He said athough they were appointed politically, they should  consider their relationship with the elected Assembly Members as  one people serving in one house for the same goal and should  therefore do business in the house devoid of politics and serve  all the people equally regardless of one’s political affiliation.

The Presiding Officer underscored the need for unity in the house  and said it was the only way they could objectively work against  social misconducts such as corruption, mismanagement of state  properties among others.

He indicated that with commitment, honesty, sincerity and  compassion towards work in the house, members would be able to  fight these negative social vices that bedevil most of the  Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) in the  country.

He called on the appointees to assume the role of development  agents for the municipality and cooperate effectively with the  old members in order to share their experience. Alhaji Insuah Abubakar, Coordinating Director for the Bawku  Municipal Assembly, encouraged the appointees to access any facility of the assembly when they want to, because it was  prepared to work with them to bring development to the area.

He called on them to be active on sub-committee meetings by  making their inputs that would help speed up development of the  assembly for the benefit of the people.
