Members of a group calling itself People of Chiana-Paga in the Kassena-Nankana West District of the Upper East Region, are asking President Akufo-Addo to ensure that, all persons involved in the GYEEDA scandal which led to the conviction and sentencing of Abuga Pele and Philip Assibit are brought to book.<\/p>\n
According to the group, the two convicts were used as \u201cscapegoats\u201d while the others, whom they term as \u201cbig fishes\u201d walk freely.<\/p>\n
Speaking at a press conference in Paga, spokesperson for the group, Donald Tumyeridam, said the President\u2019s fight against corruption will be mere rhetoric without the prosecution of those who authorized the payments.<\/p>\n
