The New Patriotic Party (NPP) executives in the Ejuisu/Juaben Constituency of the Ashanti Region, have called for an end to a feud between the Constituency Women Organizers and the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of the area, Hon. Beatrice Serwaa Derchie.

“From today, everybody should cease to talk about issues regarding the school feeding program in the constituency. …we are taking steps to address the issues”, Constituency Chairman, Mr. Aluta said.

“Anybody be it a member or executive of the party who goes contrary to this directive will be sanctioned”, he warned on Kumasi-based Nhyiria FM’s ‘Kroyenusem’ show.
