The Spokesperson for the Ministry of Education, Kwasi Kwarteng, has stated the news about World Bank taking the Minister of Education to court over 1.2 million dollar funds embezzlement is false.
In an interview with Kwaku Dawuro on Movement In The Morning Show Kwasi Kwarteng said that ‘’when I see these headlines, I ask myself -who watches the watchman? The letter that came was directed to the Minister for finance but these media outlets reported falsely. Sometimes I question the motive behind these headlines”.
”Ghana Accountability for Learning Outcomes Project (GALOP) is a project that is funded by World Bank to help low performing schools in Ghana to meet the required standard. Every year, World Bank brings funds for the implementation of specific activities under the project. The accountability phase is done by the Ministry of finance and Audit Service. Yes there was a delay in the submission of the report but it has has been submitted now”, he added.
He urged the public to quash such headlines.
