Npp DCE fights MP over Veronica buckets

The District Chief Executive (DCE ) for Akatsi South District, Mr. Leo Nelson Adzidogah , has clashed with the Member of Parliament for Akatsi South constituency (Mp) for the area, Hon. Bernard Ahiafor , over distribution of Veronica buckets to the good people of Akatsi south constituency to help fast track the fight Against Covid-19.
The DCE according to a statement signed by the NDC communication officer for Akatsi South, Hon. John Kobby Agbanavor has cautioned that he would not allow the lawmaker to distribute the Veronica buckets which, he says, are ostensibly to score cheap political points.

The contentious buckets have been customised with the Name of the MP boldly written on the front of the bucket but pictures shared by the Communication officer revealed that the DCE direct unknown person to cover the name of the Mp with a paper on the buckets placed at the District Assembly after his direction led to the breakdown of one of the Veronica buckets given to the Assembly.
Some 200 pieces of the Veronica buckets procured by the MP are distributed and placed in almost all the vantage points of the Constituency in the first phase of the exercise, which is part of interventions to cushion residents of Akatsi in the fight Against Covid-19.
But, According to the statement going Viral on the internet, the DCE of the Area, Mr. Adzidogah wasn't happy with the Mp's timely intervention.
Although the MP, shocked by the DCE’s decision, after he has heard that, the first Veronica bucket placed in the District Assembly was destroyed by unknown person and the second one was given to them upon the demand of some workers in the Assembly, the DCE has the guts to order his boys to cover his name for reasons best known to him.
He call on constituents to remain calm as the Disease knows no one.
READ THE FULL STATEMENT BELOW.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
THE DCE OF AKATSI SOUTH KICKS AGAINST THE MEASURES PUT IN PLACE TO FIGHT THE DEADLY CORONAVIRUS.
As part of measures to fight the deadly corona virus , the Member of Parliament for Akatsi South Constituency , Hon. Bernard Ahiafor, donated over  80 pieces of veronica buckets with liquid soap and face masks to the District Director for Health Services, Akatsi South.
However , it appears the DCE of Akatsi South , Hon. Leo_Nelson Adzidoga stands strongly against any attempt by the MP to help the citizens of Akatsi South from contracting the deadly virus.
It is shocking to note that the DCE is acting contrary to the directives of the president of the Republic, His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo.
It is dissappointing to note that the veronica buckets that were provided at vantage points , seems to be against the wish of the DCE who allegedly ordered for their removal. It is on record that the veronica bucket that was put near the NPP constituency party office at Akatsi was removed by a known NPP Constituency Executive Member all attempt to retrieve it proved futile.
Apart from that the oneplaced in front of the District Assembly Hall was destroyed by unknown person. Shockingly the second one that was used to replaced the broken one, the label bearing the name of the MP was covered due to the instruction from the DCE of Akatsi South as alleged.
The communication outfit wish to draw the attention of the general public to this unfortunate misconduct of the DCE and his cohort for politicizing the deadly disease which knows no political colour.
Therefore, we wish to indicate that the NDC is poised to give the needed assistance and not to do politics with this deadly disease.
As a result, we are calling on the NPP to join hands with us to fight the disease.
