Members of Biakoye District Assembly in the Volta Region have been advised to reconsider their decision and accept Mrs. Millicent Kabuki Caboo, who has been re-nominated by the President for the District Chief Executive (DCE) position.
Former Biakoye NPP Constituency Chairman and former parliamentary candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr. Daniel Korsina, made this call, when he organised an outreach programme for the President’s nominee, Mrs. Millicent Kabuki Caboo, to get her closer to the grassroots and also solicit for support towards her endorsement.
Mrs. Caboo, popularly called ‘Kik,’ was rejected by the assembly members during her first nomination.
Out of the total 43 votes cast during the first voting process, 18 members voted in her favour while 25 voted against her nomination.
However, the President has re-nominated her with the hope that she will be endorsed this time around.
Mr. Korsina therefore appealed to the Assembly members to rescind their earlier entrenched position and vote massively for Millicent Kabuki Caboo to become the DCE.
He believes that her endorsement will be a clear acceptance of the President’s own judgment of Caboo’s ability to deliver in that position.
He said Assembly members should endeavour to vote and endorse all the 17 persons re-nominated for the DCE positions in the remaining districts so as to help speed up government policies and programmes in those areas.
“It will be in the best interest of the Biakoye District, for all to have confidence in their DCE nominee to deliver excellently towards the development of the District and the nation at large.
“…I therefore appeal to our Assembly men who have the power to endorse and reject, to at this time, give the President’s nominee, Millicent Caboo, their votes,” he said.
