Member of Parliament for Nsawam/Adoagyiri constituency, FRANK ANNOH-DOMPREH has described as ‘’laughable and childish’’ decision by the president to form a team to review the report on the operations of the Ghana Youth Employment and Entrepreneurial Development Agency (GYEEDA).
‘’President Mahama and the NDC administration are just trying to buy time so that eventually Ghanaians lose interest in this matter.’’
According to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) MP, the general public has shown keen interest in the GYEEDA saga and the presidency should hence make the report public for everyone. ‘’We have unabated interest in this matter and our interest will never wave, all we are seeking to ask the presidency is to make the report public to Ghanaians.’’
Mr. Annoh-Dompreh said investigations have been made already and therefore they is no need to form another team to review the committee’s report. ‘’They have done the investigations already; what is it in that report that is making the NDC administration become so consistent in appealing to Ghanaians to be patient…?’’
‘’It is preposterous for them to form another team to review the committee’s report,’’ he reiterated.
He asked the government to be confident and show they are committed to fighting corruption. ‘’It is an opportunity for President Mahama to redeem his image…; we need to know the content of the report first.’’
‘’I think it is wrong for them to form another committee and say that they are going to study the report without making it public; this committee will not make us lose interest I this matter,’’ he concluded.
President Mahama has handed over the report on the operations of the Ghana Youth Employment and Entrepreneurial Development Agency (GYEEDA) to a team led by his senior advisor, P. V. Obeng, for review.
They are expected to advise the President in line with the Committee’s recommendations and government’s own stated plans to review the Program.
