President John Mahama has placed on record that the supposed GYEEDA report in circulation is not what is in possession of government.
Nevertheless, the President has given a firm assurance he will implement recommendations in the GYEEDA report.
The president made what appears to be his first comment on the alleged rot at GYEEDA weeks after an investigative report was presented to him at a meeting with civil society groups on issues of corruption and other concerns in the country.
President Mahama admitted that the youth programme has been bedeviled with managerial challenges but promised to turn things around.
"GYEEDA has run into some problems because of poor management and coordination…The government is working on that.”
The President reiterated: “We are going to restructure GYEEDA and let it achieve the objective for which it actually was set up”.
Mr Mahama was responding to a question asked by the Executive Director of the Ghana Integrity Initiative, Vitus Azeem.
Vitus Azeem, among other issues, had charged the government to commission prompt investigations into reports of allege corruption, publish the findings and justify why it doesn't accept parts of the findings if the need be. He also cited several exposés by ace investigative reporter Anas Aremeyaw which he said government has failed to decisively act on them.
