Amanyire accused the legislator of hijacking and diverting a project, whose background is traced to 2021 to benefit over 250 youth. He said the MP had received the first batch of 5,000 chicks out of the 15,000 on his behalf but kept it as top secret – distributing the same to recipients of her choice – including her political assistant, agents, family and friends instead of giving them to the intended beneficiaries.

But the accused legislator termed Amanyire as a ‘confused person’- insisting that the same youth leader had authorised her to execute the mission of securing the said chicks and had updated him at every stage – including the distribution process and beneficiaries.
