Communication officers of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Bono Region have declared an indefinite strike, demanding details regarding the auction of tipper trucks, front loaders, and graders owned by the Bono Regional Coordinating Council.
At a press conference held in Sunyani, the communication officers expressed their frustration over the lack of transparency surrounding the auction. Abubakari Yakubu, the spokesperson for the communicators, highlighted that the equipment could have been instrumental in reshaping roads within the region. He emphasized that they will not return to their roles in the media until they receive satisfactory answers.
“Somewhere last week, before the region woke up, these important trucks have been auctioned out to God knows who and why. It is therefore on the back of the development that we as communication officers in the Bono region, all of us, 12 of us, have decided to pursue this matter and demand answers from the Bono Regional Coordinating Council,” said Yakubu.
Yakubu outlined their key questions: “Who authorised the auction of the trucks and why? We demand the answer and also, why did authorities park the trucks when the assemblies needed them for reshaping and other activities?
He asserted, “As communication officers, we will not sit on radio to defend this party until this matter has been resolved. No communicator from the NPP will defend the party in the region until the questions are adequately answered.”
