The incredibly shrinking alibi
I.C. QUAYE NOW PLEADS ?RAPID RESULTS?
? ...Errm...it was not Cambridge ?
Accra, (Chronicle) -- THE CONTROVERSY surrounding the source of Sheikh I. C. Quaye?s so called Diploma and Certificates in Journalism and Management Studies respectively has taken a new twist.
The RRC took this position when Sheikh last week told the vetting committee that he undertook his correspondence course with the RRC and not with Cambridge, as originally stated.
Chronicle gathered that upon this new twist, the committee contacted the RRC to find out if indeed Sheikh Ibrahim Codjoe Quaye was a product of the college through the correspondence course.
The paper learnt that following the enquiry by the committee, the RRC came out last week to explain that even though it runs Correspondence Courses it does not award certificates to its students.
The RCC therefore directed the Vetting Committee to ask Sheikh I.C Quaye to name the Board that awarded him the Journalism and Management Diploma, for the committee to verify the authenticity of his claim.
With the challenge thrown by the RRC, and information from the Sheikh?s camp that a ?destruction destroyed? his certificates, the nominee?s chances of gaining approval for appointment seem to be narrowing.
A source close to the sub-committee of the Appointment?s Committee doing ?due diligence? on the three frozen nominees has hinted the paper that Sheikh was still claiming he could not identify the exact board that awarded his Diploma Certificates.
Even though he now seems to have recognized RRC as the institution where he undertook his correspondence course, he could not recollect the board that awarded him the certificates.
Additionally, he stated that he was a professional banker from The Institute of Bankers, London. On that same CV the Acting Regional Minister claimed he was also a product of the Institute of Management Studies, London.
Surprisingly when he appeared before the parliamentary Appointments Committee last week, he dropped his claim that he was a banker when questioned and it was pointed out to him that working at a bank did not make one a banker.
He had given his reason for being a banker as having once worked at the West Africa Bank and in the process had enrolled for a correspondence course in banking, but had to abandon it when he was arrested and detained.
It emerged that since he could not complete the course, it was wrong for him to be holding himself up as a banker. During the vetting, the Sheikh had indicated that he obtained the diploma through a correspondence course.
Displaying Cambridge under his qualifications, the Sheikh hoodwinked every one into believing that he secured his certificates from the renowned institution but he surprisingly beat a fast retreat last week, and told the Appointments sub-committee that he rather undertook the course with RRC.
