Three
\npeople, including an agric director, have been arrested
\nin the Sunyani West District of the Bono Region for allegedly stealing 4,000
\nbags of fertilizer meant for the Planting for Food and Jobs (PFJ).<\/p>\n

They
\nare Gilbert Sonkpi, district agric director; Owusu Banahene, district desk
\nofficer for PFJ; and a storekeeper, Alberta Adzade.<\/p>\n

The
\nDistrict Chief Executive (DCE) for the area, Martin Adjei, gave the order for
\ntheir arrest on Thursday after an audit team from Accra from the Ministry of
\nFood and Agriculture (MoFA) implicated the three.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

The
\nDCE later confirmed the news to DAILY GUIDE <\/em><\/strong>saying the case was
\nbefore the Sunyani Municipal Police.<\/p>\n

He
\nsaid the police were investigating the circumstances under which over 4000 bags
\nof fertilizer for the PFJ went missing from a rented Ghana Cocoa Board
\nwarehouse at Asufufu, a suburb of Sunyani.<\/p>\n

He
\nsaid as part of the ongoing audit of the PFJ programme by a taskforce from
\nMoFA, he was informed by the head of the team that 4098 bags of fertilizer were
\nmissing from the warehouse and the suspects had not been able to explain why
\nthe agro chemicals were nowhere to be found. <\/p>\n

According
\nto the DCE, the suspects misinformed the audit team that he (the DCE) had
\ntravelled when the team arrived in the district, adding \u201cbut knowing what to do,
\nthe team went ahead and did their work as scheduled.\u201d<\/p>\n

He
\nsaid \u201cthe leader of the team later found my number and called me deep in the
\nnight and informed me about it. The next day, I held a meeting with some
\nofficials of the assembly including the district coordinating director, Philip
\nBaaza, the district finance officer, among other senior members, and we decided
\nto hand them over to police before the team even finished its work.<\/p>\n

He
\nsaid \u201cthere will be no compromise and once it is proven that they are culpable
\nwe shall prosecute them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regional police spokesman Chief Inspector Augustine Kinsley Oppong later confirmed that the police were investigating the matter.<\/p>\n
