Civil Service Boss Orders The Reversal Of Transfers

At last, justice has been done. Daily Post’s authoritative sources within the
Civil Service Council have told the paper that the decision by the clique at the
Youth & Sports Ministry to have the Ministry’s Chief Director, Abdullai Yakubu
and Acting Head of Human Resources, Allen Agbenetor, transferred to other
Ministries has been stopped.

In a letter signed by Dr. Robert Dodoo, Chairman of the Civil Service Council,
the Council directed that the transfer of the two to the Ministries of Tourism
and Trade respectively be reversed and the two to continue serving the state in
their current capacities at the Ministry of Youth & Sports.

The letter, in the name of the Chairman of the Civil Service Council and the
Acting Head of the Civil Service, Mr. Kemevor, was, according to our sources,
copied to the President’s Secretary, Mr. Bebaako Mensah, the Chief of Staff, Mr.
Martey Newman, the Minister for Youth & Sports, Akua Dansua and the Ministers of
Trade and Tourism respectively.

The latest order has come in the wake of attempts by Akua Dansua and her clique
to install their cronies in the stead of Abdullai and Allen.

The action drew hue and cry from many civil servants and members of government
who saw through the sinister motives behind the transfers.

Despite the refreshing news to quash the transfer of the two, intelligence
gathered by this paper indicates that attempts are still being made by some
members of the clique to get the directive for the transfers to be reversed
again.

A member of the clique who frequents the Castle has been there since the
directive to try and convince some of the top guns at the Presidency to get the
Civil Service Council allow the transfer of the two to go on. The Castle is,
however, said to have decided that in line with statutes, it would not interfere
in the affairs of the Civil Service Council and hence the directive must be
carried out to the latter.
