ZAA News investigations have established that some workers of the Non Formal Education Division and Zoom Lion in the central Gonja district, of the northern region have had their salaries deducted to fund the campaign of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Our sources cited the District Chief Executive for the area, Sualisu Bi Awuribei of sanctioning the deduction of Ghc 25 each from Zoom Lion and Ghc 20 from NFED workers.
When contacted the DCE confirmed the deduction but denied that he ordered it.
He told ZAA news that it was a decision reached at a departmental heads meeting to use the funds to contribute to NDC campaigns. When the line dropped he refused to pick our calls again.
Attempts to speak to the regional coordinator of Zoon Lion also proved futile but ZAA News has learnt that the ZOON Lion district monitor in charge of the central Gonja district, Moro Jato who opposed the deduction has been transferred to Salaga.
He confirmed the transfer to ZAA News but would not speak any further.
One of the affected workers from Zoom Lion Afa Abdallah also confirmed the deductions. ]]>
