The Ghana Federation of the Disabled has hinted of a series of protests if the interdicted Upper West Regional Director of Education, Duncan Nsor, fails to return a vehicle belonging to the Wa School for the Deaf in 21 days.
Mr. Nsor was interdicted by the Ghana Education Service (GES) last week over among other things, allegedly auctioning the said vehicle without following due process.
The Upper West Regional branch of the federation, which consists of all nine registered disability groups indicated at a press conference on Wednesday, that the Director abused his powers by selling the vehicle which was not in the original list of the vehicles meant to be auctioned.
“I want to use this opportunity to inform the interdicted Director that, all persons with disabilities in the region register their disgust and disbelief at the way he handled the wooden truck. Even if vehicles were to be auctioned, the least we expected was to be any of the vehicles of a special school like the Wa school for the deaf. It is our humble plea that the truck is returned.”
“We are giving the Director three weeks, to return the truck in question. Failing to do that will force all the nine disability groups in the region that form the federation will hit the streets of Wa,” he added.
Interdiction
Mr, Nsor was asked to step aside over allegations of misconduct and corrupt practices.
A full scale investigations into allegations of bribery in the appointment of heads of some second-cycle schools in the region is yet to begin.
Allegations
Mr. Nsor’s interdiction follows allegations which include:
- Circumstances surrounding the auctioning of a track belonging to Wa School for the Deaf, which vehicle at the time of the auctioning was under his care and his refusal to inform the school and the Director-General of the development.
- Allegations of bribery in the appointment of some Heads of some second cycle schools in the Region.
- Alleged deduction of monies from some allowances due to some teachers in the region.
Meanwhile, the GES says he should be prepared to appear before an Investigation Committee for a probe.
