Yaw Sakyi threatened with death

After recently losing showbiz personalities like
Ronnie Coaches, Dr Paa Bobo, Fennec Okyere, the
ever-smiling host of The Rundown on TV Africa
and leading basketball promoter in Ghana Yaw
Sakyi is reported to have been threatened by the
current SRC President of GIMPA Benjamin
Essuman.
Information gathered so far indicates that Yaw
Sakyi, who is also a student of GIMPA, has
indicated his intentions to contest the upcoming
elections but the Essuman-Benjamin led
administration have vowed not to allow him to
contest because he is reported to have promised
students to look into the books of the SRC when
he becomes the president.
Our sources indicate the wide support for Yaw
Sakyi which can make him the next president and
that the current leadership is against. The
President and his executives summoned Yaw
Sakyi to a meeting 2 months ago for visiting some
classes to interact with students but made some
mistakes in the spelling of his name and class, so
Yaw Sakyi wrote back saying he is not the person
in question.
This angered the SRC President who then shouted
on top of his voice and was allegedly to have said
that, he was going to send Yaw Sakyi to his early
grave. “He thinks he is smart. He knows he is the
one we are referring to but want to use
technicalities”, he was allegedly to have said.
Opinions sampled revealed that Yaw Sakyi has
been calling on the SRC to account for GHc223,
155 (Two Hundred and Twenty-Three Thousand,
One Hundred and Fifty-Five Ghana Cedis)
students fund used by the leadership but
students can’t see anything for it.
The recent story is that the SRC took GH60, 000
(Sixty Thousand Ghana Cedis) from management
without the knowledge of the General Assembly
which is the body to approve such monies.
These monies they were told were to be used for
the production of diaries and pens for students in
January 2014. The SRC President has reported
that he paid someone GH45, 000 (Forty-Five
Thousand) to produce these diaries but can’t find
the person.
Many students are enraged over this matter and
plan to demand the SRC to produce these funds
and others alleged to have been spent.
The SRC has issued a statement this morning
saying the security agencies are looking for the
person they paid the monies to and have asked
students not to believe what people opposed to
their administration are saying.
What is not clear is whether they will call a
Students’ Forum to respond to questions from
students regarding how their monies have been
used for.
This year’s election has a Nigerian businessman
Mr. Emmanuel Okesson, the CEO of City Lights,
who is running for the second time after losing to
the current President last year and others.
When contacted, he
declined to comment on the issue saying he will
meet with management and get back to us.
