The government expect its appointees to district assemblies to work as catalysts to ensure that its policies are properly executed to enable it to speedily achieve its vision of a better Ghana.
Therefore, any appointee to the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies who undermines the government's programmes and policies would be withdrawn.
Mrs. Ama Benyiwa-Doe, Central Regional Minister, who gave the caution, explained that the government appointed its representatives to help in championing its agenda and urged them to work passionately towards that goal.
The Regional Minister was addressing an emergency meeting of the Ajumako Enyan-Essiam District Assembly held to decide the fate of President John Evans Atta Mills' nominee for the post of DCE.
She said government appointees were to serve as what she called "the cabinet" of the assemblies, who were expected to extensively explain the programmes of the chief executives to their peers in the house and the people on the ground.
However, they should not indulge in partisan politics, which was unacceptable in the district assembly concept, Mrs. Benyiwa-Doe pointed, saying even though governments come out of parties, they were not wings of parties.
The Regional Minister pointed out that delays in approving nominees for the position of chief executives could affect the development programmes of the assemblies as the common fund could only be released to the assemblies, which had DCE's in place.
The assembly failed to confirm the President's nominee, Mr. Peter Light Koomson, who polled 31 votes against 27 votes and could, therefore, not get the two-thirds votes required to confirm the nomination.
The Assembly is expected to meet within 10 days for a second balloting.
Mr. Koomson is currently the Central Regional Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
