Joshua Akamba
The Ghana Education Service (GES) has confirmed that headmaster of Tempane Senior High School in the newly created Tempane District of the Upper East Region, Ndegu Amolale, has been suspended.
He was handed his suspension letter on Saturday, October 6, 2018.
Per the content of the letter, Mr. Amolale has been asked to step aside, as the GES commences investigations into how one Joshua Akamba, a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), had access to some young female students of the school to pollute their minds and introduce them to bad conduct.
In a video that has gone viral, a plump-looking man who has been identified as Joshua Akamba of the NDC was heard asking questions that sort to incite the young students against President Akufo-Addo’s free senior high school programme and the associated double-track system meant to create space for all schoolchildren who qualify to have secondary education.
Contrary to Ghanaian culture, where children are trained to respect and honour the elderly, Mr. Akamba was also heard inciting the children against the Member of Parliament (MP) for Tempane, Joseph Dindiok Kpemka and the President of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo, urging them to hoot at the MP and the President, which they did.
DAILY GUIDE has learnt that Joshua Akamba is aspiring to become the national organiser of the NDC and has been noted for using this and other “duty” tactics to send a signal to the party’s delegates that he can be rough in dealing with the New Patriotic Party (NPP) should he become the national organizer.
But some discerning members of the NDC, who obviously are against his aspiration, have told DAILY GUIDE that is not the way to go since his style could end up polluting the minds of the country’s future leaders.
With the headmaster out of the way, it is expected that staff and students of the school will feel comfortable to speak with personnel who will be conducting the investigations into how Mr. Akamba had access to the children in the school to pollute their minds.
However, in some media interviews, Mr. Amolale said he was not at the school on the day Mr. Akamba and his followers visited to misconduct themselves before the little children.
Meanwhile, the MP for Tempane and Deputy Attorney General, Joseph Dindiok Kpemka, said he had taken note of the video and would address the media soon.
