THE nominee for the position of Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolitan Assembly Chief Executive has given the assurance that he will provide an accountable and transparent leadership, if he gains the approval of the assembly to serve.
The nominee, Mr Kobina Pra-Annan, said to meet the expectation of the people in as far as the development of the metropolis was concerned, there was the need to ensure that everybody was made to feel part of the decision-making process.
He said there was the need to ensure close collaboration between various sectors of the community in the Sekondi-Takoradi twin-city, to deliberate, take decisions and pursue programmes which would be of benefit to the people.
Mr Pra-Annan was reacting to calls by chiefs that he should be friendly, approachable and to focus on uniting the people for development.
The chiefs also advised Mr Pra-Annan not to distance himself from his people or allow the position of the chief executive to overwhelm him into making him a tin god to lord it over the people.
The chiefs complained that most people who were appointed to the high office of the chief executive from among the people turned to distance themselves from the chiefs after assuming office.
The metro chief said when he was confirmed, he would put the interest of the people at heart and ensure that he and the assembly met the expectations of the people.
He said there was a lot of work to be done, which requires the support of all.
“Development is a continuous process and we have to work as a team to harness our limited resources and explore other areas that would contribute to the attainment of our set targets.”
