NYEP Boss In Sex Scandal

For allegedly failing to control his libido, the national youth Employment Programme (NYEP) co-ordinator for the Bibiani-Awianso-Bekwai district in the Western region is in trouble.

A 22-year-old former employee of the programme in the district has accused Abdul Mohammed Samad of sleeping with her in exchange for job.

According to the victim (name withheld), the NYEP district boss made it emphatically clear to her that he would only offer her a job as secretary at the district office, if she agreed to have sexual intercourse with him.

Desperate for a job, the victim, who is now jobless, told Daily Guide in an interview that she gave in to the demand and therefore had three different bouts of unprotected sex with the NYEP district boss.

“Though I knew that he had a wife, I was compelled to have unprotected sex with him on three different occasions because I was desperately looking for a job to survive,” she said.

She stated that though she worked as secretary to the district co-ordinator from September 1, 2010 to November 5, she was never paid and that any time she enquired about her pay, the coordinator insisted on having another bout of sex with her before he would process it for her. “Because it was a deal that I was going to have sex with him on three occasions for the job, I did not want to continue to have sex with him any longer but he kept on pushing me for it,” the victim, a resident of Aboabo, a suburb of Kumasi, lamented.

What alerted the young lady that the district co-ordinator wanted to cheat on her was the fact that all the staff members who were recruited with her at the same period had had their salaries paid to them. She noted that the district co-ordinator’s unwillingness to process her appointment letter to confirm her status in the programme also gave enough grounds to believe that the NYEP boss wanted to take her for a ride.

She said when she persisted that she should be paid Samad became irritated and decided to malign her. She noted that she had the rudest shock of her life, when after reporting to work on Friday November 5, the district co-ordinator called her and told her not to come to the office again because the appointment had been terminated with immediate effect.

She noted that she decided to bring the issue to the public domain, when the district co-ordinator categorically told her that she would not be paid and that she could go to hell. She said though her story would negatively affect her because she had a boyfriend, she decided to come public so to save other ladies who might fall prey to the same man.

When contacted, the district co-ordinator pointed out that he was unwilling to comment on the issue, stressing that the matter was a purely legal one which the police were investigating.

Meanwhile, the district co-ordinator is reported to have told a Bibiani-based radio station, Adehyee Fm, on Monday that the issue of sex was his private matter.

However, the deputy National Co-ordinator of NYEP, Alhaji Alhassan Tapsoba, has told Daily Guide that the matter would be given serious attention and that the district co-ordinator and the lady in question were invited to the national headquarters on Monday. It would be recalled that similar scandals were recorded in Amasaman in Accra and Tamale in the Northern region where district coordinators allegedly solicited for sex from desperate unemployed ladies.
