Stolen government fertilizers intercepted in Kumasi by Yamin led operation team

National Organizer of National Democratic Congress (NDC) Joseph Yammin Speaking to Kumasimail.com

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

A consignment of government fertilizers intended for distribution to farmers has been intercepted in a two-storey building at Sokoban news site in Kumasi by the Joseph Yamin led operation recover all looted state prosperities in Ashanti region.

The shocking discovery has prompted calls for accountability and further investigations from Joseph Yamin, the National Organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). 

Speaking to Kumasimail.com Yammin alleged that the intercepted fertilizers, meant to benefit farmers under government initiatives, had been hoarded and possibly diverted for private gain. “This is a serious issue. These fertilizers are supposed to be distributed to farmers to improve agricultural productivity, but here we are with evidence that they’ve been hidden in a private warehouse. The implications are worrying,” he said. 

Yamin expressed concern over the systemic mismanagement of resources under the current administration.

He noted that the diversion of fertilizers not only deprives farmers of critical support but also raises questions about the effectiveness of oversight mechanisms in place. 

“Fertilizers are crucial to boosting food production, especially in these times of economic hardship. If they are being hoarded or sold on the black market, then it is an attack on the livelihood of our farmers and food security,” Yamin said. 

Allegations of Corruption and Cover-Up 

Yamin did not mince words in linking the incident to broader issues of corruption. He claimed that such acts of resource diversion are not isolated and often benefit politically connected individuals. “This isn’t the first time we are hearing about government resources being misappropriated. We need to ask ourselves: Who owns this building? Who authorized the storage of these fertilizers here? And how long has this been going on?” he questioned. 

When asked about the next steps, Yamin assured that the NDC would press for a full investigation into the matter. “We will push for accountability. This isn’t just about Kumasi or the farmers in this region; it is about the principle of governance and fairness. If people think they can get away with this, they are wrong. We will expose them,” he emphasized. 

Impact on Farmers 

Local farmers have expressed frustration over the scarcity of fertilizers in recent months, with many resorting to purchasing at inflated prices. The intercepted consignment in Sokoban further highlights the challenges farmers face in accessing government-subsidized inputs. 

“I am not surprised. We’ve been complaining for a long time that the fertilizers meant for us are not reaching us. Now we know why,” a farmer in the region told Kumasimail.com. 

Yamin Urges Vigilance 

Yamin called on citizens, particularly farmers and community leaders, to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities. “We must not remain silent. Farmers need to speak up, and those in charge of distribution must ensure transparency,” he said. 

Authorities Remain Silent 

Attempts to reach officials from the Ministry of Agriculture for comments were unsuccessful at the time of reporting. 

The discovery of the hoarded fertilizers adds to growing public dissatisfaction with the management of agricultural resources. As investigations unfold, many are hopeful that those responsible will be brought to justice, and measures will be put in place to prevent a recurrence.
