The majority of Assembly members in the district also justified their call on the President to retain the DCE for his good human relations and good government achievements.
In the area of good governance, the credibility and competency of Williams Darko is very high. He has good interpersonal relationships with Chief and elders in the district and as head of DISEC, he has properly managed security issues in the district, including chieftaincy.
