A Financial Analyst, Mr. Sydney Casley-Hayford says more companies and individuals should be dealt with for the misappropriation of funds at the Ghana Youth and Entrepreneurial Authority (GYEEDA).
In his opinion, although government had taken a bold step in charging Abuga Pele, �it was just a tip of the iceberg� since it still had more companies and individuals including the former Minister of Youth and Sports, Akua Sena Dansuah to hold accountable for financial malfeasance.
�In every instance the contract was signed by the Minister of Youth and Sports or the Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports, so individuals such as Nana Akua Sena Dansuah , Kofi Humado, Nana Akomea, Osei Akoto among others should be interrogated accordingly,� Mr. Casley-Hayford insisted.
Speaking on Citi FM�s News Analysis Programme, The Big Issue, M.r Casley- Hayford stated that the Ministry of Youth failed to monitor and evaluate transactions at the period when funds were misappropriated at GYEEDA.
�The Ministry of Youth and Sports was supposed to have oversight to monitor and evaluate transactions and this was never done.�
He remarked that �although Abuga Pele witnessed most of the contracts that were signed during his term of office; he did not sign those contracts himself,�
According to him, the Attorney General�s department only decided to initiate investigations into the GYEEDA scandal after they were instructed by the President to do so, a situation he described as a failure in �prosecutorial powers.�
Mr. Casley-Hayford�s comments come on the back of government�s decision to charge National Coordinator of GYEEDA, Abuga Pele and Managing Director of Goodwill Consultancy Firm, Philip Akpene Assibit for misappropriation of funds at GYEEDA.
