In a surprising development, two District Chief Executives (DCEs) have tendered their resignation from their respective assemblies. The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for the Atebubu-Amantin Municipal Assembly in the Bono East Region, Hon. Edward Owusu, and the District Chief Executive for the Biakoye District Assembly in the Oti Region, Hon. Milicent Kabuki Carboo, have both stepped down from their positions.
*Reasons for Resignation*
The reasons for their resignations have not yet been made public, sparking widespread speculation among local stakeholders and the political community. Both executives have played significant roles in the development of their districts, and their sudden departure leaves many unanswered questions regarding the circumstances that led to this decision.
*Hon. Edward Owusu’s Tenure*
Hon. Edward Owusu, who has served as the MCE for Atebubu-Amantin for several years, was instrumental in initiating several key developmental projects within the district. Under his leadership, the municipal assembly focused on improving infrastructure, particularly in the areas of education, health, and road networks. Owusu was well-known for his commitment to enhancing the agricultural potential of Atebubu-Amantin, given its position as one of the food baskets in the Bono East Region.
Residents have expressed mixed feelings about his resignation. While some commend his efforts in spearheading community projects, others feel that more could have been done to address pressing issues, such as sanitation and youth unemployment.
*Hon. Milicent Kabuki Carboo’s Contributions*
Similarly, Hon. Milicent Kabuki Carboo, DCE of the Biakoye District, has been at the forefront of development initiatives in her jurisdiction. Carboo’s tenure saw a boost in women’s empowerment programs, local economic growth initiatives, and infrastructural development. She was known for her passion for gender equality and youth development, playing a key role in enhancing the livelihood of women and young people in the Biakoye District.
Her resignation has also stirred reactions from community members, with some praising her for being a champion of local development, while others raise concerns about the district’s future without her leadership.
*Implications for the Districts*
The resignation of these two executives is likely to have significant implications for the smooth functioning of the Atebubu-Amantin and Biakoye District Assemblies. The search for successors will be closely watched, as both districts face several ongoing projects and challenges that need immediate attention.
The Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development is expected to announce the appointment of acting executives soon, who will take over the administration of the assemblies until new permanent appointees are named.
*Conclusion*
The resignations of Hon. Edward Owusu and Hon. Milicent Kabuki Carboo mark a major shift in the political leadership of the Atebubu-Amantin and Biakoye Districts. As the reasons for their resignations remain undisclosed, all eyes will be on the government to ensure that their successors are able to continue the work they started, and to maintain the momentum of development in these key districts.
