Former Youth and Sports Minister Alhaji Muntaka Mubarak would for a while remain tight-lipped over circumstances surrounding investigations on him and his eventual resignation.The former minister told Joy FM correspondent Elton John Brobbey he has been asked not to speak to the media about the issue any longer.Although he would not disclose the source of that admonition, sources close to the minister believe his lawyers must have advised as such.Alhaji Muntaka, who is due to meet with party supporters and executives in his Asawase constituency Monday, is said to have met with the Ashanti Regional executives of the NDC to apologise for the havoc his sympathisers are said to have caused at the regional headquarters.Constituency executives resigned on Friday after demonstrating against the minister’s resignation.They claim Alhaji Muntaka Mubarak, who resigned shortly before the findings of an investigative report into his irregular expenses were made public was compelled to quit.The meeting between the former minister and his constituents is expected to avert what could have been another demonstration.Alhaji Muntaka was asked by the president to step aside to allow for investigations to be launched into allegations of financial malfeasance brought against him.The Chief Accountant at the Sports Ministry, Adim Odoom, chronicled a 17-point charge against the minister.The president subsequently appointed a Minister of State and MP for Wa Central, Abdul-Rashid Puelpo to act as Sports Minister.Some legal pundits believe the former minister may have decided to keep his silence over the issue to avoid committing himself amid calls for his prosecution.However presidential spokesperson Mahama Ayariga has described as misplaced calls for the prosecution of the former minister.Story by Fiifi Koomson/Myjoyonline.com
