Today has established from sleuth hounding that the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) has secretly recruited faithful(s) of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC). The recruits (unqualified persons,) according to sources close to the state agency, have been posted to NADMO offices across the country to work as disaster monitoring and management officers. These unqualified persons, who are currently working in the 270 administrative districts across the country, Today uncovered, are said to have contributed immensely to the party�s electoral victory in the 2012 General Elections. According to our sources, some of these employees are either school drop-out, Form Four leavers or have no educational background. Today�s investigations revealed that some of these unqualified disaster management and monitoring officers cannot even write their names correctly. That worrying situation, the sources said, has made many people wondering how these people will write their daily reports. Interestingly in the course of this paper�s investigations, it gathered that these unqualified employees of NADMO were struggling with their �god-fathers� in the NDC to impress upon management of NADMO to pay their monthly salaries. According to reliable sources at NADMO, theses persons who gained employment in NADMO between 2013 and 2014 have not even been paid. And as the result, the situation has created an uneasy calm between the employees and the management of NADMO. However, when Today reached deputy National Coordinator of NADMO, Anita De Soso, via telephone, she denied the allegations and told this paper that she was not aware of any employment in NADMO. According to her, it was only the national service persons who were posted to NADMO to do their national service. �My brother, the year (2013/2014) of which you are saying that NADMO employed NDC faithful(s) and posted to parts of the country to work as disaster monitoring and management officers, I must say that I was not working in NADMO by then� so go and ask those who gave you this story [well]�.Period I cannot respond to anything else from you again thank you�..� Ms. De Soso told our reporter. It would be recalled that in recent times, some state institutions have been rocked with corrupt scandals with the latest being the National Service Secretariat (NSS).
