A united coalition of concerned youth, community members, parents, educators, and students in the Tempane District of the Upper East Region is calling for the immediate removal of the Tempane District Director of Education, Mr. Tee Rashid Anaffu, and some of his officers due to serious allegations of misconduct and ineffective leadership.
The coalition has threatened to hold a protest on May 29, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. in front of the District Education Office if their demands are not met. This move follows a series of disturbing revelations about Mr. Anaffu’s tenure over the past three years, which have severely undermined the quality of education and the overall trust in the district’s leadership.
The core issues prompting this call for action include:
– Abuse of authority
– Discrimination
– Financial improprieties
– Poor leadership
– Unethical behavior
– Erosion of public trust
And specific allegations include:
– Misuse of authority
– Discriminatory practices
– Misappropriation of funds
– Unauthorized expenditures
– Unethical behavior
The coalition also cites poor leadership and decision-making, including arbitrary and detrimental decisions that have negatively impacted students, teachers, and the broader community.
The coalition’s specific demands are:
1. The immediate removal of Mr. Tee Rashid Anaffu from the position of District Director of Education and other officers.
2. The appointment of an interim director to restore confidence and stability.
3. An independent audit of the district’s administrative practices.
4. Implementation of robust oversight mechanisms by DEOC to prevent future misconduct.
According to Tempane Concerned Youth, “The current situation is unacceptable. Our children and community deserve leaders who uphold the highest standards of integrity and are committed to the success and safety of our teachers and students. We demand change now to safeguard the future of our students and restore trust in our educational system.”
Meanwhile, the Tempane District Director of Education, Mr. Tee Rashid Anaffu, has responded to the recent allegations of misconduct and ineffective leadership leveled against him by a coalition of concerned youth, community members, parents, educators, and students. In an interview with Apexnewsgh, Mr. Anaffu dismissed the allegations, attributing them to political motivations by his critics.
According to Mr. Anaffu, the individuals who organized a press conference against him were acting on the instructions of their political “gurus.” He claimed that his recent reshuffles of staff were aimed at addressing issues of extortion and criminality within the education office.
Mr. Anaffu’s response comes after a coalition of stakeholders called for his removal, citing allegations of abuse of authority, discrimination, financial improprieties, poor leadership, unethical behavior, and erosion of public trust. The coalition has threatened to hold a protest on May 29, 2024, if their demands are not met.
The controversy has sparked a heated debate in the Tempane District, with many calling for accountability and transparency in the education office. While Mr. Anaffu’s response has shed some light on his perspective, the issue remains unresolved, and the public awaits further developments.
