Tolon-Kombungu teacher warn regional Director of GES

Teachers in the Tolon-Kumbungu district of the northern region have issued a
strong warning to the regional Director of Education, Madam Elizabeth Desouza
to stop what appears to be her attempt to arbitrate the impasse between them
and the embattled district Director of education, Mr. Joseph Kumah.
Eye witnesses accounted that the regional education Directors official vehicle
with registration number GV 771O P had its back screen smashed by some of the
angry teachers during her last visit to the district. The said visit by Madam Elizabeth Desouza was meant to reconcile the teachers and Mr. Joseph Kumah who vacated his post about two months ago following a massive demonstration against him by the Concerned Citizens of the Tolon-Kumbungu district who finally locked his office and handed over the keys to the District Chief Executive. Iddrisu Abdul-Mumeen, Spokesperson of the aggrieved teachers issued the warning at a news conference held in Tolon to reaffirm their decision not to work with Mr. Joseph Kumah. He expressed their deepest worry about the regional education Directors attempt to intimidate and victimize those against Mr. Joseph Kumah’s domination as the Tolon-Kumbungu district Director of education. Iddrisu Abdul-Mumeen described Mr. Joseph Kumah as “Incompetent and
incorrigible” person whose poor administrative functions he claimed worsened
the falling standard of education in the Tolon-Kumbungu district. Among several recommendations, the aggrieved teachers asked Madam Elizabeth Desouza to take temporal responsibility of the district for three days after the news conference and appoint a new person to take over from her afterwards. The statement also demanded that all the GES vehicles and other logistics in Mr. Kumah’s possession should be returned to the district and handed over to the District Chief Executive to be used for their intended purposes. The aggrieved teachers in the Tolon-Kumbungu district Spokesperson, Iddrisu Abdul Mumeen impressed upon the Minister for education and the Director General of the Ghana Education Service to interdict Mr. Joseph Kumah and conduct forensic audit into his stewardship.
