COALITION for Ga-Dangme Youth has expressed joy following an order by the Minister for Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, Mr. Samuel Kofi Dzamesi, to affirm the transfer of Harry Anthony Attipoe, a Registrar at the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs.
According to spokesperson of the group, Mr. Emmanuel Okoe Thomy, “this is welcoming news and we feel refreshed and great as Ghanaians since the rule of law has been allowed to take its course.”
“This is an interesting development we as a group have followed keenly from last year and we thank Mr. Dzamesi for going according to the rule of law,” the group noted.
Per the letter which was dated Wednesday, February 15, 2017 and signed on behalf of the Minister by the Chief Director, Mr. Benjamin Afful, the minister directed Mr. Attipoe to move to the Volta Region with immediate effect or face sanctions.
The letter, which is in possession of Today, reads in part, “You are hereby informed to take note of all correspondences regarding this matter and with immediate effect comply with the posting instruction to you.”
It continued that “For the avoidance of doubt you were posted to the Volta Regional House of Chiefs and same stands. Note that if you refuse to comply with the posting instruction, all the regulations pertaining to such conduct and as provided by law, regulation and directives shall apply to you without favour.”
The letter further stated that “Mr. Emmanuel Tetteh Addoquaye is informed to assume duty at the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs as the new Registrar of the region.”
Mr. Attipoe was last year April transferred to the Volta Region but failed to heed to the directive due to some resistance from some chiefs within the Greater Accra Region who had petitioned the immediate past Minister, Dr. Seidu Danaa, and the presidency to withhold the transfer.
Though their petition was not accepted, Mr. Attipoe continued to remain in office till date until the latest order.
