The Minister of Youth and Sports designate, Mr Mustapha Ussif, has denied bussing people to register in the Yagaba Kubori Constituency during last year's national identification registration exercise.
He further denied using buses of the National Service Scheme to convey registrants from other parts of the country to the constituency.
Context
As a member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr Ussif was accused in a footage for using his director position to bus the registrants to the constituency, which the accusers equated to partisan political activity.
Vetting
Mr Ussif told the Appointments Committee when he was being vetted for the position of Minister of Youth and Sports that he was not personally involved in the bussing of the registrants, and when he got to know that National Service buses were being used, he advised against it.
