Demo To Rock Jasikan Over JAK's Appointee

According to THE INDEPENDENT , the Jasikan District is set to be rocked with two demonstrations over the nomination of Solomon Kwadwo Donkor as the DCE for the area.

A group identified as the Progressive Citizens of Buem in a letter dated September 22 called on all progressive citizens of Jasikan to participate in a peaceful demonstration at Jasikan tomorrow, Tuesday, September 30, 2003.

A release by the group categorically stated its disappointment over the nomination of Mr. Donkor as DCE for the Jasikan area, saying “… confirmation of Mr. Donkor would amount to the sale of our identity and an insult to the integrity of our chiefs”.

Jasikan sources say a section of the people and some chiefs are against Mr. Donkor’s nomination as DCE because talk is rife that in the area that a Presidential Aide, Tommy Amemetekpor worked it for him to the extent that contrary to laid down convention, Solomon Donkor never routed his application through the district executive of the NPP.
