Minister Stabs Mills in the back

...as she turns her guns on NDC boys in the Sports Ministry

The Minister for Youth & Sports, Hon. Sena Akua Dansua, has stabbed President
Mills in the back by taking a very reckless decision that the President is
certain to take the flak for.

Quite against popular opinion within the government and the NDC, and against the
directives of the Civil Service Council, she has succeeded in getting the Acting
Head of the Service, Mr. Kemevor, to transfer two senior members of the Sports
Ministry to other ministries.

The first to receive his transfer letter is Mr. Abdulai Yakubu, the Chief
Director at the Ministry. Apart from the fact that he is being transferred at
the whims and caprices of Akua Dansua, he is also being demoted because he is
going to serve as a Director under the Chief Director at the Ministry of Tourism
where he is being transfered to.

The second person who is being transferred to another Ministry to satisfy the
parochial interest of Akua Dansua is Allen Agbenetor, the Acting Head of Human
Resource at the Ministry of Youth & Sports.

INTRASIGENCE!

Intelligence sources told the Daily Post that one Nii Quaye Oko Djani and Mr.
Kemevor ,Acting Head of the Civil Service are in cahoots with the Minister to
get the two senior men out of the Ministry of Sports.

According to sources, Akua Dansua and Oko Djani plotted the transfer before the
former left for the World Cup in South Africa, expecting the two to be out of
the Ministry by the time she returns.

Several people in government and within the NDC who got wind of the plot are
said to have tried calling her to order but she refused wise counsel and went
ahead to execute her unholy agenda.

Not even the advice of the Civil Service Council, that the transfers be not
carried out, would stop the South Dayi MP from kicking out the two to make it
possible for her to have one Mr. Kumor appointed as the new Chief Director of
the Ministry of Youth & Sports.

So, Mr. Kemevor, with the lame excuse that he was under pressure from Akua
Dansua and Oko Djani, signed a letter to Abdullai Yakubu and Allen Agbenetor
transferring them to the Ministries of Tourism and Trade respectively.

CRONYSM

Daily Postintelligence sources have revealed that Akua Dansua’s refusal to see
reason and let Abdullai and Allen be stems from her burning desire to get one
Mr. Kumor, a Director at the Ministry of Roads and Highways appointed as Chief
Director.

Mr. Kumor hails from Northern Volta (the same as Akua Dansua). The two are also
former school mates (they both attended Mawuli Secondary School at Ho). They are
said to be very good friends and it is her desire to balance the ethnic equation
after she replaces Abdullai Yakubu with Kumor that the axe is falling on Allen
Agbenator as well.

By an act of coincidence, the Chief Accountant at the Ministry of Sports, Mr.
Prosper Apasu, is a direct cousin of Akua Dansua. If Mr. Kumor becomes Chief
Director, it will mean that the Minister, Chief Director, Chief Accountant and
Acting Head of Human Resource are all Ewes hence the decision by the Minister to
boot Allen Agbenetor out as well.

UPROAR

Akua Sena Dansua’s decision is generating uproar within the government and the
NDC with many lining up to protest against her decision.

Feelers picked up by this paper indicate also that Mr. Abdullai Yakubu’s
kinsmen, the Andanis, one of the two factions in Dagbon, are seething with anger
over the transfer and have threatened to advise themselves in the 2012 elections
if he is transferred and demoted.

“What is happening to our son is tantamount to adding insult to injury as far as
we Andanis are concerned. Despite our unflinching support for the NDC
government, it has not been able to give us justice so far in the matter of the
murder of the Ya Na. Now, they are turning us into a laughing stock by
transferring and demoting our kinsman for no apparent reason,” an angry Andani
told the Daily Post, confirming the fact that the Andanis are unhappy with the
decision to transfer and demote Abdullai Yakubu.

As for Allen, his fate is said to have incensed many within the government
because he is seen as a conscientious civil servant who served the both the NDC
1 and the NPP governments to the best of his abilities and has so far done same
for the Mills government.

Akua Dansua’s act of cronyism is not only a stab in the back for President
Mills but also the NDC as a party,since, unlike the NPP, it prides itself as one
which abhors cronyism, nepotism and tribalism.
