The Youth Employment Agency (YEA) has dismissed claims that it spent GH¢9 million on a turkey berries production programme, stressing that no such initiative exists under the agency.
In a statement, YEA’s Director of Corporate Affairs, Suadique Musah, described the allegations as false and misleading, clarifying that the agency has not undertaken any turkey berries-related project and no such payments have been made.
“No such programme exists at YEA; no such payment was made,” he emphasised, urging the public to rely on verified information from official sources.
The agency reaffirmed its commitment to transparency and accountability, noting that all its programmes and expenditures are properly documented and subject to scrutiny. It warned that misinformation of this nature could undermine public trust in government institutions.
YEA also called on media outlets and the public to exercise caution in sharing unverified reports, reiterating that its focus remains on implementing genuine initiatives to create sustainable employment opportunities for Ghanaian youth.
