Former Member of Parliament for Asokwa Constituency in the Ashanti Region, Maxwell Kofi Jumah, is blaming President John Mahama as well as Youth and Sports Minister, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah for the rot at GYEEDA.
Maxwell Kofi Jumah who claims to have "concrete evidence" to support his allegation says, President Mahama is the architect behind the huge monies given to RLG and Zoomlion, both service providers to the Ghana Youth Employment and Entrepreneurial Agency (GYEEDA).
Speaking in Kumasi Saturday on Nhyira FM’s ‘Kukurantumi’ programme, the former Mayor of Kumasi challenged the two leading government figures to deny the allegation insisting, he was prepared to follow up with more "indicting revelations".
Mr. Jumah, who was a deputy Local Government Minister in the J.A Kufuor administration, expressed doubt about the commitment expressed by government in implementing recommendations in the report submitted to the president by the committee that investigated alleged fraud at the GYEEDA which was exposed by a serialised JOYNEWS report by Manasseh Azure Awuni.
Meanwhile, former Regional Chairman for the National Democratic Congress has strongly dared Mr. Jumah to produce whatever evidence he claimed to have against the president and his minister.
Mr. Frank Osei Mensah, who spoke on the same programme said, Kofi Jumah’s allegation should be treated with contempt.
