Ag. National Coordinator of the National Youth Authority (NYA), Ras Mubarak, may have bitten more than he could chew for allegedly breaking into the office of his Director of Finance and putting it under lock and key, as details are emerging that 2012 National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Candidate for Ablekuma North, has been giving out query letters to almost everybody at the authority at the least provocation. Director of Finance of the authority, Aminu Abdulai, in response to a rejoinder by Ras Mubarak admitted that he (Director of Finance) had received not less than two queries in the few months that he had been at the authority, and that �� let me correct him that the queries I received from him were not just two. They were several. In fact almost everybody at the NYA office (including some Deputy National Coordinators) has received a query from him and his special Deputy, Alhaji Nabila Mohammed�. Cataloguing the queries and the reasons for which they were given to him, Aminu Abdulai revealed that �The very first query I received from Mr. Ras Mubarak was for pointing out to him that the appointing authority for Deputy National Coordinators is the Hon. Minister of Youth and Sports (the commissioner) in accordance with NRCD 241. For good corporate governance and stronger control environment, I advised him to rescind this appointment or obtain confirmation from the then Hon. Minister of Youth and Sports because he (Mr. Ras Mubarak) doesn�t have the power to appoint a Deputy National Coordinator. Alhaji Nabila Mohammed hitherto was one of the secretaries and non-management member of NYA. This is one of what he refers to as indiscipline and misconduct on my part. Alhaji Nabila Mohammed as Deputy National Coordinator in charge of Finance & Administration is a walking illegality at National Youth Authority and his continuous stay in that position is an affront to rule of law. Since this incident, Alhaji Nabila Mohammed has been on my throat but I will never leave it until this mess is cleaned up at NYA�. He continued in his rejoinder (published on page 8) that, �The second query I received was my insistence to write to the Hon. Minister of Finance on the non-tax revenue we generates. NYA has never accounted for her non-tax revenue. NYA generates non-tax revenue from the whole of the Agbogbloshie land area, Azumah Nelson sports stadium (funerals, games & religious activities) and other facilities across the ten regions. I had to employ a strategy to outwit him before he signed the letter to the Hon. Minister of Finance because he wasn�t prepared to change the situation. I drafted the letter as if I was only asking for permission to spend but indeed reporting the issue. The reply from the Hon. Minister of Finance asked us to account for our IGF before permission could be given. Mr. Ras Mubarak and Alhaji Nabila then resorted to direct cash collections from our Agbogbloshie Land. I cautioned some of the tenants to be careful because those actions were not recorded and this resulted in Imperial Transport Services to write to us and finally paid GH� 56,000.00 into our Bank of Ghana account. NYA has over one thousand tenants on the Agbogbloshie Land area alone�. The third query I received was my insistence to pay a garage company that repaired Mr. Prince-Derrick Adjei�s official vehicle. The vehicle was involved in an accident. Mr. Ras Mubarak signed the works order for the company to repair the vehicle. The vehicle was inspected and received after the repairs. When it was time for payment Mr. Ras Mubarak ordered me not to pay simply because Mr. Prince-Derrick Adjei questioned his authority to reshuffle him (Mr. Prince-Derrick Adjei) from Deputy National Coordinator for Programs to Deputy National Coordinator for Research. Mr. Ras Mubarak took the Memo from me and wrote on it �approval cancelled.� I later gave the document to Mr. Prince-Derrick Adjei. In Mr. Prince-Derrick Adjei�s quest to find out why he cancelled his own approval, Mr. Ras Mubarak told him he was an �indiscipline person� and that resulted in an open confrontation at our car park between them. I and other staff members intervened to whisk Mr. Prince-Derrick Adjei away. The company later went to court but the MOYS has since intervened and ordered for the payment to be made. Mr. Prince-Derrick Adjei has now been seconded to the YES Fund secretariat as Deputy National Coordinator, the director of finance stated. More so, Aminu Abdulai, revealed that �My Fourth Query came because I sacked some young boys including Mr. Ras Mubarak�s younger brother and some girls from our Boardroom one Saturday when I met them having fun. In fact, he initially made the security to lock me up in the office building for almost two (2) hours on that Saturday. In fact, the leader of the boys was his younger brother who even spoke Dagbani with me. This was at the time we were experiencing a lot of fire outbreaks at public offices in the country. It was Mr. John Amankwaa Manu, Deputy National Coordinator for Education & Training, who finally called the security to open the main door to the office building. The office block is a self-contain type with one main door. Access to the main door gives access to everything. My colleagues at the office prevailed on me not to report him to the then Hon. Minister of Youth and Sports�. As though that was not enough, the director of finance took a swipe at Ras Mubarak that �Let me forgive Mr. Ras Mubarak for questioning my understanding of what misappropriation is because when I was busily studying to understand what misappropriation is at the University of Professional Studies, Accra to earn my first class BSc. Accounting Degree, and �crossing the hurdles� of the Institute of Chartered Accountants (Ghana) to become a Professional Accountant, he was jumping from one radio station to another openly insulting a sitting President of the Republic of Ghana, His Excellency Professor Fiifi Atta Mills (May his humble soul rest in perfect peace)�. It appears the Ras Mubarak saga is just getting started. Stay tuned.
