Indexing government scandals one at a time
Minister for Fisheries and Aquaculture, Elizabeth Naa Afoley Quaye has attacked the Ministry's Director of Finance and Administration, Cecilia Ezuah in a bid to forcibly remove from her position.
But for the intervention of the sector’s deputy Minister, Kingsley Ato Cudjoe, who moved in to calm his boss down, something terrible would have been recorded.
The Director in charge of Finance and Administration and Madam Afoley ‘Chavez’ have not been on good terms since 2017. It all started when the sector Minister allegedly awarded some contracts to some people and ordered the Director for Finance and Administration to pay them.
Sources at the Ministry say, Madam Ezoah then requested for full disclosure of the contract documents as well a request to assess the said contracts to ascertain for herself whether it was carried out or not before authorizing payment.
Her move infuriated ‘Afoley Chavez’ who immediately demanded that she (Madam Ezoah) be transferred from the Ministry.
