Nata/Gweta constituents question nominations for Sowa Township

At the centre of the villagers’ concerns is the dispensation for nominated councillors at the Sowa Township Authority, which villagers strongly feel the BDP leadership is abusing, as it seemingly rewards its friends after losing the general elections. This week villagers were fuming that for sometime now, they have been watching the Minister of Local Government rewarding friends of some ministers with nominations for a council seat at the Sowa Township Authority ignoring party functionaries within the Nata/Gweta constituency. Constituents are bitter that they incessantly plough their resources in the party’s campaigns during elections and only for ‘outsiders’ to be rewarded without a sweat.

They claim that past immediate area MP, Rayner Makosha was allegedly ousted in the BDP primaries because people strongly felt that he was the one who gave the Sowa Township Authority to outsiders.
