An irate youth group who have identified themselves as supporters of the National Democratic Party (NDC) have forcibly locked up the Western Regional office of the National Service Authority (NSA).
Their actions comes after the transfer of a new Regional Coordinator to head the Authority in the region.
According to the youth group, the newly transferred Regional Coordinator, Daniel Dawusu, is not someone from the region, hence the opposition.
The group further added that his appointment does not reflect the interest of the region, insisting that the Coordinator should be someone from the Western Region.
To them, the Authority’s decision to bring in an outsider to head the region undermines local representation.
Speaking to the media on Wednesday, April 16, the NDC Constituency Youth Organiser, Kwabena Afriyie, justified the action, stating that the group is prepared to keep the office shut until their concerns are addressed.
“We have locked up the office, and we have been given the chance again. We’ll lock it up till our demands are met,” he said.
He further emphasised the group’s position, urging the authorities to withdraw the current appointee and rather assign the candidate they have recommended.
“All we are saying is, they should withdraw those they have brought to the region and assign the name that we have presented to the office for the job, because he is also qualified to do the job. There will be peace in the region if they meet our demand,” he stated.
