The NDC’s Joseph Yammin led Operation recover all state looted assets has agains intercepted huge alleged government fertilizers in the house of Fomena district Chief Executives house in the Ashanti region through intelligence operation.
The Fomena DCE Eric Kwaku Kusi who spoke to Kumasimail.com confirmed the fertilizers where brought to his house for safe keeping by the member of Parliament for Fomena Constituency who doubles as second deputy speaker of Parliament Andrew Asiamah two days before elections 2024.
He said” my MP told me the fertilizers were brought for his campaign activities but it came late. So he told me to keep it in my house after the elect he will come for it and later distribute it to the farmers. That all my call the MP so he spoke with the NDC security team that came here” he explain.
According to the NDC Ashanti Regional Youth Organizer Osman Nabali the same intelligence that led them to the interception over 10, 000 fertilizers in an uncomplicated buildings at Sokoban and Danyame residential areas last week.
Osman Nabali decribed the hoarding of the government-supplied fertilizers as unfortunate.
The Second deputy speak who spoke with the team confirmed the fertilizers belongs to him but refused to give further information on the fertilizers on phone.
According to Nabali, the fertilizers, purchased by the outgoing government to support farmers and reduce the cost of food production, were found stored at the said location just days before the elections.
“We visited the site and confirmed that the fertilizers were hidden there. It raises questions about whether the house belongs to him or another individual connected to him,” Nabali said.
The NDC youth leader expressed disappointment over the alleged act, which he claims is part of a broader scheme by individuals in the outgoing administration to sabotage the incoming government.
“Instead of distributing these fertilizers to farmers as planned, they’ve hoarded them to sell at exorbitant prices later. This is a deliberate attempt to make the new government suffer,” Nabali alleged.
He further criticized the move, stating that it undermines efforts to support farmers and provide affordable food for Ghanaians.
“The government spent huge sums to acquire these fertilizers to boost agriculture, but some people are prioritizing personal gain over national interest. Farmers are being denied resources meant to help them succeed,” he said.
Nabali called on authorities to take swift action, urging the incoming administration to ensure accountability and protect government resources. He also highlighted the need to investigate similar practices across the country.
“These actions are unacceptable, especially from someone in a leadership position. This isn’t just an NDC issue; it’s about protecting Ghana’s interests,” he concluded.
