The nagging power and electoral crises that is threatening to break the Ashanti Regional Circles’ Council front will soon belong to history as proactive steps are being taken to nip the issue in the bud.

In that line, Executive Chairman, Dr. K. K Sarpong will today inaugurate a three-member fact finding committee to investigate the causes of the impasse and make recommendations on how best the issue could be resolved for the betterment of santé Kotoko FC.

The three member committee is to be headed by Honourable Kwaku Amponsah, a former Municipal Chief Executive of Ofinso and also a former Ashanti Regional boss of COCOBOD. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Social sciences.

Other members of the committee are Mr. Kwaku Nsiah, holder of a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics and a Building and road Contractor, and finally Ms. Marie Louis Simons, an Attorney at the Attorney General’s Office.

Per their appointment, they would have undertake and wind up their assignment before the end of the month of September.

According to Administrative Manager, Benjamin Nti, the Executive Chairman and his Board and management team are committed to starting the coming season on a good note and as such they will endeavor to end all such problems and challenges in the club before the league starts.

It will be recalled that there has been a gathering tension in the Ashanti Regional Circles’ Council since the month of July as a result of the disqualification of a contestant to the regional chairmanship position by the National Circles’ Council on what they said to be “constitutional and technical grounds”.

The disqualified person, Benjamin Obeng, therefore resorted to seek redress in the law courts.

He was impressed on by the Executive Chairman to withdraw his law suit and rather go for an out of court settlement to the issue.
