Last week, The Informer once again became the toast of all radio talk shows, following some startling revelations put forward with regards to how some administrative instructions were flouted in payments to service providers under the Ghana Youth and Entrepreneurial Development Agency (GYEEDA)-now Youth Employment Agency (YEA).
In stating the other side of the story without passing judgment, this paper uncovered how directives, through the then Chief Director at the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Mr. Abdulai Yakubu, to institutions under GYEEDA were ignored.
Bruised badly by the findings of The Informer, detractors of Mr. Clement Humado, the then sector Minister of Youth and Sports, have decided to use the 2013 Auditor General’s report as fertile grounds to call for his “head” (prosecutions), without paying attention to details as captured by the said report.
Latest to join the crusade is the Member of Parliament (MP) for New Juaben South Constituency in the Eastern Region, Dr. Mark Assibey-Yeboah, who is also a member of the Finance Committee of the nation’s legislature.
According to him, government should prosecute Mr. Humado for his involvement in the financial mismanagement of GYEEDA; citing the 2013 report by the Auditor General as the basis for his call.
Exposing his lack of understanding of the report under discussion, Dr. Mark Assibey-Yeboah was reported as saying the Minister (Humado), even against the advice of the regional Coordinators of the programme, went ahead to sign the contract which caused the country to lose millions of Ghana cedis, when he should have taken the pain to cross-check the facts as captured in the report.
Well, as it has always been the track record of The Informer, we have critically examined and analyzed the report and have the following observations to share with Dr. Mark Assibey-Yeboah, the media and all concerned, for proper debate of the report (2013 Auditor General’s report).
