The SRC excellence awards which was scheduled to come off on the 12th of May 2016 was rigged according to the SRC president of Legon Davies Ohene Fobi.
Speaking on radio universe, the project and programs committee head Nana Agyemang who was irate about why the excellence awards was postponed made it clear that his boss, Fobi, wasn’t so happy about some of the eventual supposed winners of the awards.
According to the programs and projects committee head, the SRC president said most of the winners on the list are not qualified to be winners. He made it clear that the president pointed specifically to him Nana Agyemang and his committee for not qualified to be on the nomination list let alone be winner in the category I won.
“When Fobi saw the SRC excellence awards winners, he said I had manipulated the process and some winners on the lists don’t deserve to be there. He pointed specifically to the categories I won (The best committee head and the best committee)” – Nana Agyemang
SRC awards is nothing to me and I will never place SRC awards over my integrity. I am not happy because I left my books and worked so hard on this awards only for it to be cancelled a night before the event. A lot of dignitaries were coming. Nana Addo, Paa Kwesi Nduom and many others were coming only for me to call them that the awards won’t come off as planned. Do you know what that meant to my integrity? He added.
The programs and projects committee head said categorically that, the SRC president prevented him from being the head of the awards committee which was normally the case because he believed he will be subjective and influence the process negatively.
The awards was eventually postponed hours after the event because the SRC president threatened not to release any funds for the organization should the awards be carried through. The new date for the awards is Monday 23rd May 2016.
