KASOA: TRADITIONAL LEADERS CALL FOR REMOVAL OF MCE, SETH BANINI…..
The Kasoa Ofaakor Odupong Traditional Authorities are calling for the immediate removal of the Awutu Senya East Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Hon. Seth Serwonoo Banini, accusing him of gross incompetence and disrespect towards traditional authorities.
The traditional leaders made the demand during the celebration of the 2026 Awubia Festival in Kasoa, where they expressed concerns about the administration and development of the municipality.
According to the Boundary Chief of Awutu Traditional Council Nai Atopi, the MCE has, since assuming office, presided over what they described as a non-performing Municipal Assembly. They cited the latest ranking of Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) in the Central Region, which placed Awutu Senya East at the bottom.
Nai Atopi stressed that the traditional authorities do not want Banini to continue serving as MCE on their land, arguing that a new leader should be appointed who would collaborate effectively with the traditional authorities to advance development in the municipality.
The Mankrado of the Odupong Ofaakor Stool, Nai Darko Ankrah, and the Odikro of Kasoa, Nai Saani Seidu, also expressed strong opposition to what they described as attempts to use political authority to intimidate traditional leaders.
They maintained that political power should not be used to undermine the authority of traditional institutions, emphasizing the need for mutual respect and cooperation between the Assembly and traditional authorities.
