THE VOLTA REGIONAL CHAIRMAN
NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS
HO
Dear Sir,
PETITION TO CALL CHAIRMAN MIHESO AND MP SEFE OF ANLO TO ORDER
We, the Committee of Concerned and Committed Members of the Great National Democratic
Congress at the Dzita Electoral Area, would like to bring to your attention an urgent concern. We
are calling on the NDC Volta Regional Leadership to address our concerns swiftly.
We have become aware that Samuel Brass Dedzo, whom many well-meaning citizens of Dzita
describe as a suitable candidate for Torkor Atorlia, is being promoted and financially supported
by the Constituency Chairman, Agbey Miheso and the Member of Parliament for Anlo, Hon.
Richard Kwami Sefe, to contest the upcoming District Assembly Elections against the candidature
of Dr. David Normanyo, a former branch executive of the party.
Until four years ago, Mr. Dedzo was the Assembly Member for the Dzita Electoral Area, a position
he held for twenty years. Though not the best for the Dzita community, he was tolerated for those
wasted donkey years. His tenure of office was characterised by (a) hijacking of the party, (b) lack
of accountability, (c) moral turpitude, (d) corruption and conflict of interest, (e) terrorism and
hijacking of public facilities.
Hijacking of the Party
Mr. Dedzo has used his constituency position to interfere with the party and its activities at Dzita.
He has custody of all four branch registers and would not allow new members to be recruited into
the party. During the last branch executive elections, he interfered in the sale of nomination forms,
ensuring that none of the old executives got the chance to contest the election, hereof manipulating
the elections in favour of those he considered loyal to him. Mr. Dedzo’s conduct has expelled many
youths into the New Patriotic Party, evidenced in the increase of votes in recent years in the Dzita
Electoral Area.
Lack of Accountability
During his tenure, Mr. Dedzo should, as usual of our party, have accounted for his stewardship to
demonstrate his ‘NDCness.’ Instead, he insubordinately disregarded the Chiefs and stakeholders,
which hindered cordial relationships and mutual collaboration. During the last election, Mr. Dedzo
did not contest, and a new Assembly Member was elected. The Chiefs and the community elders
invited Mr. Dedzo to account for his 20-year stewardship, but he refused, telling them he did not
work for them, so they were not entitled to any account from him.

Moral Turpitude
Mr. Dedzo lacked the moral right to lead. He impregnated his wife’s younger sister, Mary Kunya,
destroying the brilliant girl’s life forever. He has taken Martha and Vilawoe from their husbands.
He abused his power, sleeping with many women, including mothers and daughters who
approached him for help. Worse of all, he took advantage of a vulnerable dump and deaf girl,
“Tokunorvi”, whom he sexually harassed several times and had a child named Edzorna with her.
Terrorism
The records show that anyone who contested Mr. Dedzo suffered a mysterious bad fate after the
elections. Mr. Dega Agbemavor and Mr. Ibrahim Yao Ganah died a few weeks after contesting
him during the District Elections in 1997 and 2007, respectively. Mr. Alex Dzanyiekpor narrowly
escaped death in a motor accident a few days after the election of 2002. As a result, he held the
town hostage for 20 years as an Assembly Member until he decided not to contest the last election.
Corruption and Conflict of Interest
During his tenure as an Assembly Member, Mr. Dedzo doubled as a contractor and was awarded
a contract to construct a toilet facility for Dzita. He was paid fully, but the facility, which he
unilaterally cited next to his house, is still not completed for the community to use.
Hijacking of Public Facilities
Mr. Dedzo hijacked public utility facilities, such as public water points, and proceeds from selling
premix fuel. He took over the sale of the community water and applied proceeds for his benefit,
denying the town much-needed revenue for development. He also pocketed the town’s share of
premix oil proceeds for his personal use, and nobody could talk for fear of their lives. For these
reasons, we are dissatisfied and disappointed in CHAIRMAN AGBEY MMIHESO and HON.
RICHARD KKWAMI SEFE for campaigning and supporting Samuel Brass Dedzo against a more
credible and accomplished Candidate, Dr. David Normanyo.
The Committee of Concerned and Committed Members of the Great National Democratic
Congress in Dzita Electoral Area, therefore, urges the NDC Leadership at the Regional Level to
call the Constituency Chairman, Mr. Agbey Miheso and the Member of Parliament, Hon. Richard
Kwami Sefe, to order before they destroy the party’s support base at the Dzita Electoral Area. The
2024 general election is too important to be sacrificed for one man’s insatiable greed for power.
We count on your swift action on this important matter.
Yours faithfully,
Signed:
Robertson Kunya
