The President, who made the call when speaking at the launch of NALAG’s strategic documents at the Accra Metropolitan Assembly on Wednesday, said Ghana’s development cannot afford unnecessary delays in confirming President’s nominees for MMDCE positions and thus charged members to eschew partisan politics but rather work in unity to ensure a speedy confirmation processes for all appointees.

He further urged Assembly Members to put community development above political and personal interests, adding that the people who elected them expect decisive leadership.

Meanwhile, the National Association of Local Authorities of Ghana (NALAG), has unveiled its strategic documents to serve as a framework to guide its activities in the coming years.
