President John Agyekum Kufuor has relieved the Wa Municipal Chief Executive (NCE), Mr Mark A. Banda of his position with immediate effect.
This was contained in a press release signed by Mr Kwadwo Okyere Mpiani, Chief of Staff and Minister of Presidential Affairs, in Accra on Tuesday.
The release offered no reason for the President's decision. Shortly before Christmas President Kufuor warned all political appointees to endear themselves in the discharge of their duties or face the sack.
The press release said the President has directed that Mr George Hikah Benson, Deputy Regional Minister for Upper West, should act as the MCE of Wa pending the nomination for appointment of a substantive Chief Executive.
