CORRUPTION, IMPUNITY, HIGH-HANDEDNESS ROCK MD KSMC SEAT

The concern staff of Kaduna state media cooperation (KSMC) have clarified their reason for kicking against the renewal of the tenure of their Managing Director Malam Ibrahim Ismail Ahmed saying under him the income of station has reduced to below 10% while staff performance is almost zero due to his failure to maintain harmonious relationship with the staff.

In the petition by the concerned staff of KSMC addressed to the Executive Governor of Kaduna state, and obtained by Journalists, they called for deep investigations.

The petitioners said, “kaduna state government loses several millions of naira every year to corruption and fraudulent practices in the KSMC. 

"We have never seen anyone so engrossed in corruption and fraudulent activities like him.

The KSMC staff said, “We write to bring to your notice the abuse of powers of office and other fraudulent activities being perpetrated by the MD and ask for your urgent investigations."

 

The staff listed corruption, high handiness and arrogance as some of their reasons for kicking against tenure extension of their MD Ibrahim Ismail Ahmed.

"This clarification has become necessary in view of the response written by our embattled MD in the name of patriotic staff of KSMC".

The petitioners listed their reasons  as follows.

 1. His two term tenure has expired so also the 3 month extension granted him at the expiration of his second term - so it is illegal to extend his tenure

2. He is also so corrupt to the extent of selling to himself, his official vehicle at 1 million naira and sold it 11million.

                 

3. He doesn't support the present governor candidacy from initial stage, as he supported the candidacy of Dattijo, and now that Uba Sani won, he don't care to propagate the activities of the government contrary to article 1 on the schedule establishing the media corporation, also the monthly over head course of N18 million allocated to KSMC diverted for personal use.

4. He lacks the human relation needed galvernise  the staff to move the station forward

These are some of the reasons we wrote our petition to intimate the Gov not due any other reasons as he claimed - We therefore wish the Gov will look into our complain and take immediate action.

"Based on the foregoing, we humbly crave your indulgence, and therefore request you to use your office to cause a discreet and thorough investigation to be carried out into the issues raised in this petition so as to save the famous Kaduna state media cooperation (KSMC) and to bring the man of this illegality to book as public office is a position of public trust."

When contacted, the Managing Director Ibrahim Ismail Ahmed, said, “Please stop disturbing me with all these calls, go and write whatever you people want to write. Go ahead and put it on the internet and everywhere please."
