“The committee realized that all district executives were appointed without any competitive recourse. The district treasure Zondong Samari Koolog indicated he was not present on the day of the congress which had less than 26 participants. Also, some of the zonal executive who met the committee denied knowledge of the district executives especially the district secretary”.
“On the mining concessions takeover, the committee established that Robert Tampoare did not inform and involve any of the district executives”.
“Members are relieved from the pain and the frustration that Robert Boazor Tampaore had taken us through, Robert Boazor Tampoare is currently before the High Court 1 in Bolgatanga on a matter of fraud against members of the Unique Mining Group who reported him to the police for fraud”.
