A shocking revelation has emerged in the Wa East District, as the District Chief Executive (DCE), Hon. Mahama Ewura Suleman Kandia, has been implicated in the diversion of grant inputs meant for farmers in the area. Multiple letters from concerned assembly members have detailed the DCE’s alleged involvement in the misappropriation of these funds.

The letters claim that the DCE has been using his position to distribute grant inputs to his political allies and cronies, while neglecting the needs of deserving farmers. The assembly members have provided evidence that the DCE’s name appears on the list of individuals who have received these grant inputs.

One of the key concerns raised is that the DCE has been diverting grant inputs for his personal gain. The assembly members claim that he has sold some of the inputs on the black market at exorbitant prices, profiting from the government’s initiative aimed at supporting farmers.

Furthermore, the DCE is accused of intimidating agricultural officials who have tried to raise concerns about his actions. This has created a climate of fear and prevented officials from speaking out against the corruption.

The allegations against the DCE are serious and warrant a thorough investigation. If proven true, they could have significant implications for the development of the Wa East District and the livelihoods of its farmers.

The assembly members have called on the Minister of Food and Agriculture to intervene and take immediate action to address the matter. They have urged the Minister to conduct a comprehensive audit of the grant input distribution process and hold the DCE accountable for his actions.

The DCE has not yet responded to the allegations. It remains to be seen whether he will deny or admit to the charges. The outcome of this investigation will have a significant impact on the reputation of the DCE and the confidence of the people in the Wa East District.
