Officers may be removed for gross misconduct, breach of the Constitution, prolonged inability to perform duties, or a vote of no confidence carried by two-thirds of Full Members at a General Assembly convened for that purpose.
“I will act at all times in the best interests of Wassa and its people, and not in my own personal interest…”
