Some members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Ashanti Region have raised concerns over the "spending spree" by the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF) Administrator, Irene Naa Torshie Addo in her bid to advance her chances of being named as running mate to party flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
Her activities have drawn the anger of party members who have called on the party leadership to take immediate action on the matter in order not to jeopardise the ‘breaking the 8’ agenda.
According to the party members, she has allegedly been using her office to influence some prominent figures and government appointees to back her move.
“What she is doing will come back to hurt the party very soon," a concerned party member in the Ashanti Region remarked.
They alleged that Madam Toshie deployed Augustine Collins Ntim, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Offinso North, to sing her praise to party supporters at a meeting of constituency secretaries of the NPP in Kumasi.
The allegation follows some comments made by Mr. Ntim, who is a former Deputy Minister of Local Government, Decentralisation and Rural Development, during the meeting.
Addressing the gathering, the former minister asserted that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia will have to partner with a staunch Christian like Irene Naa Torshie Addo before he can win votes from the Christian community in Ghana.
But party members including Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) say the Administrator of the Common Fund must be called to order.
