Stop selling motorbikes purchased for you by govt – Ejura MCE warns Assemblymen

The Ejura-Sekyedumase Municipal Chief Executive, Hon Salisu Bamba has cautioned assembly members to desist from the practice of selling motorbikes purchased and allocated to them by the government.

According to him, it has come to his attention that some assembly members in the past sold off the motorbikes, instead of using them to facilitate their work in their various electoral areas.

Hon. Salisu Bamba gave the warning while presenting 60 motorbikes to assembly members today, Wednesday, March 13, 2019.

“Government recognizes the important work done by assembly members and so just as other appointees are provided with means of transportation, the government has decided to facilitate the work of members of the various assemblies. The motorbikes should not be sold, they have been given out to you for specific work so that you can be mobile and frequently visit your electoral area and ensure there’s development there. The bikes should also be handled with care,” Hon. Bamba said.

The Assembly members on their part thanked the government for hearing their cry and supplying them with the motorbikes.

They, however, appealed to government to register the motorbikes to enable them to ride without being arrested by the police as has been the case in the past.
