The man who was appointed by
President John Mahama to fix the corruption that have attended operations at
the Ghana Youth Employment and Entrepreneurial Agency (GYEEDA) is leaving
the Agency in pretty much the same turmoil he inherited it.
Kobby Acheampong after accusing the
Head of Human Resource Selorm Attipoe on the Super Morning Show, Friday, caused
his arrest shortly after he left the studios of Joy FM, Michaela Anderson
reported.
The HR Head was handcuffed by three
men in mofty and was escorted out of the offices of the Agency at about
11:15pm, Friday .
No official reason for the arrest
has been given but the outgoing National Coordinator Kobby Acheampong is
accusing him of instigating some aggrieved workers against him.
Selorm Attipoe was not the only
person arrested.
According to Michaela Anderson, the
men later turned their anger on her colleague, an intern at Joy FM, assauted
him and bundled him into a car and sped off.
They accused the intern of taking pictures
of the arrest, an accusation Michaela has denied.
Accusation
For an agency percieved to be
corrupt and its former National Coordinator Abuga Pele being prosecuted
for misappropriation of funds, many thought the appointment of a new National
Coordinator in the person of Kobby Acheampong tasked to restructure the damaged
institution.
But it appears the rot is far from
over. Kobby Acheampong narrated to Joy FM, Friday an unqualified
HR, Mr
Attipoe smuggled 188 unqualified employees into GYEEDA and paid them a whopping
amount of GHc892,000.
He claimed to have stopped the
illegal payment to the employees, a move that strained relationship between him
and Mr Attipoe.
Kobby Acheampong alleged the HR
Director has since been instigating the workers against him and causing them to
demonstrate unnecessarily.
One such demonstration happened
yesterday with over 30 workers accusing Kobby Acheampong of trying to fill
non-existent positions with cronies before he finally bows out.
But in an interview on Joy FM Kobby
Acheampong denied the allegation against him.
While he was in the studios of
Joy FM launching his attacks on the HR head, some of the aggrieved workers were
busy plotting to lock up his office.
The workers told Joy News' Michaela
Anderson, Acheampong had no business being at the Agency because he has been
transferred.
One of the workers accused
Acheampong of lobbying to have a lady, on national service to be upgraded to
the position of Principal Secretary, a position she is not cut for and has no
requisite qualification.
And when he refused to upgrade the
secretary, Kobby Acheampong had him transferred to Wa in the Upper West Region,
he alleged.
Just when the workers were speaking
to Joy News the men in mofty came and arrested Mr Attipoe.
