A controversy is brewing in Garu as some youth groups have accused Member of Parliament Thomas Anabah Awinsum of attempting to revoke the appointment of the district National Youth Authority (NYA) coordinator. The youths claim that Awinsum’s actions are unjustified and could disrupt the progress of youth programs in the area.
However, MP Awinsum believes that certain party members in Garu are trying to make him unpopular due to their personal interests. According to sources, the controversy surrounds the Constituency Youth Organizer, who was given a slot for the NYA coordinator position but allegedly failed to meet the educational requirements, when asked to present his deputy, the Youth Organizer reportedly presented a different person without the knowledge of some party leaders. This has raised questions about the legitimacy of the appointment process and the motivations of those involved.
In response to the pressure from the youth, the Friends of JM and Anabah have issued a statement defending the MP’s actions. They claim that Awinsum is working in the best interests of the constituency and that the accusations against him are unfounded.
The situation highlights the challenges of youth leadership and representation in Garu, and the need for transparency and accountability in the appointment process. As the issue continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the parties involved will resolve their differences and work towards the betterment of Garu’s youth programs.
Meanwhile,the Council of Party Elders in the Garu constituency, and Hon. Thomas Anabah, has stepped in to prevent further escalation of the controversy surrounding the MP’s alleged attempt to revoke the NYA coordinator’s appointment.
The elders have advised the youth affiliated with JM and Anabah to refrain from responding to the allegations, effectively calling for calm and restraint.
This intervention aims to prevent the situation from spiraling out of control and to promote unity within the party. By advising the youth to stop responding to the allegations, the Council of Party Elders hopes to shift the focus back to the constituency’s development and the party’s core values.
The situation remains sensitive, and the Council’s intervention is seen as a crucial step in maintaining party cohesion and avoiding further divisions. The MP, Hon. Thomas Anabah Awinsum, is expected to continue working towards addressing the constituency’s challenges, including the long-standing issue of poor road infrastructure.
