A youth group calling itself ‘Concerned Youth of Atiwa East’ on Tuesday (April 25, 2017) demonstrated over the appointment of a District Chief Executive by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
They argued that since the district was created all the DCEs have been appointed from Atiwa West Constituency creating the notion that the Atiwa East Constituency has no competent people from their area.
