News investigations have established that some workers of the Non

Formal Education Division and Zoom Lion in the central Gonja district,

of the northern region have had their salaries deducted to fund the

campaign of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Our

sources cited the District Chief Executive for the area, Sualisu Bi

Awuribei of sanctioning the deduction of Ghc 25 each from Zoom Lion and

Ghc 20 from NFED workers.

When contacted the DCE confirmed the deduction but denied that he ordered it.

He

told ZAA news that it was a decision reached at a departmental heads

meeting to use the funds to contribute to NDC campaigns. When the line

dropped he refused to pick our calls again.

Attempts

to speak to the regional coordinator of Zoon Lion also proved futile

but ZAA News has learnt that the ZOON Lion district monitor in charge of

the central Gonja district, Moro Jato who opposed the deduction has

been transferred to Salaga.

He confirmed the transfer to ZAA News but would not speak any further.

One of the affected workers from Zoom Lion Afa Abdallah also confirmed the

deductions.source ZAA Radio Tamale
