The District Chief Executive for Abura Asebu KwamanKese, Hon. Daniel Mensah Weddy, has pushed back strongly against circulating claims that an amount of 8 billion cedis was spent on renovating the official DCE residence. He maintains that the allegation is entirely false and the product of partisan attacks he believes are being fueled by opposing political communicators.
He described the narrative as a deliberate distraction meant to obstruct development efforts in the district. According to him, political point-scoring has become a major barrier to progress, and he called on residents to remain focused on what directly benefits the community rather than misinformation being pushed for political gain.
Hon. Weddy reaffirmed his commitment to repositioning the district for sustainable growth, stating that his goal is to lift the area out of its longstanding underdeveloped state. He insisted that he would not allow propaganda to derail the work being done to move the district forward.
He urged citizens to disregard the allegations being circulated, insisting that the misinformation is aimed at damaging his reputation and slowing the district’s advancement. In explaining his decision to stay in the official residence, he noted that it is a practical way to manage government resources efficiently. By occupying the government facility, he said, funds that might have been wasted on alternative accommodation can be redirected to more important development needs.
He contrasted this approach with what he described as past mismanagement under previous administrations. By remaining in the official residence, he believes he is demonstrating better stewardship of public resources and a commitment to accountability.
The DCE emphasized that the current strategy is rooted in responsible governance—ensuring that every cedi serves the broader interest of the district rather than personal comfort or political expediency.
