Carl Wilson was sacked days ago - Koku Anyidoho

The Communications Director at the Presidency, Koku Anyidoho, says the decision to sack the Chairman of the Confiscated Vehicle Allocation Committee, Mr Carl Wilson, had been taken three days ago and that it had nothing to do with the action of some angry NDC youth Thursday morning.

Information Minister, Mr John Tia has corroborated the statement but adds that if after investigations into the allegations against Mr Wilson no adverse findings are made against him, he will be reinstated.

Irate youth of the party Thursday morning besieged the party's headquarters, locked out national officers denying them access to their offices and demanding the dismissal of Mr Carl Wilson.

They vowed to stay there until the man was sacked because his corrupt practices were denting the image of the party.

In order to calm tensions, the National Organiser of the NDC, Mr Yaw Gyan Boateng went to address the demonstrators and told the angry supporters that Mr Wilson had been sacked.

He said if any clandestine attempts are made to reverse the decision, he will join them to demonstrate against the Chairman of the Confiscated Vehicle Allocation Committee and whoever is trying to shield him.

The Communications Director at the Presidency, Koku Anyidoho confirmed the dismissal to Joy FM.

He would not give any details regarding the reasons for Mr Wilson's sack.

arl Wilson has come under intense fire in the media and from members of the ruling party for allegedly abusing his office by unilaterally ordering the sale of confiscated vehicles to his cronies for peanuts.

He has denied all the allegations claiming that some people who engaged in nefarious activities at the Tema Port and who feel their business had been threatened by his insistence on doing the right thing, were bent on doing him in.

Mr Wilson, who is also a national security operative, told Asempa FM's 'Ekosii Sen' Programme that the NDC National Chairman, Dr Kwabena Adjei had been scheming to remove him from office.

He said he was not directly responsible for allocating vehicles and that the charges that he sold cars for pittance were vexatious and unsustainable because it was not his duty to value cars.

But that position was contradicted by an official of the Customs Excise and Preventive Service who said he had been working at CEPS for 20 years.

He told Joy FM that a committee that was responsible for valuing vehicles for disposal was disbanded by Carl Wilson who monopolised everything relating to the disposal of confiscated and stolen cars.

The Deputy Chief of Staff, Mr Alex Segbefia who reportedly appointed Mr Wilson is believed to have been protecting the man in the face of all the allegations.

News of Mr Wilson's sack have been rife in the media but each time it came up, Mr Segbefia rose to his defence asking those who have evidence of impropriety on Mr Wilson's part to produce such.

Asempa FM Wednesday evening broke the news that Mr Wilson had been sacked.

But Thursday morning he spoke to Joy FM's Super Morning host Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah in his capacity as the Chairman of the Confiscated Vehicle Allocation Committee.
