The Minority in Parliament is calling for an investigation into an alleged GH¢68.5 million spent on photocopying past questions for WASSCE candidates in 2020 and 2021.
The Ministry of Education allegedly incurred a cost of GH¢33.6 million in 2020 and over GH¢34 million in 2021 for this purpose, both through single-source procurement.
Speaking to the media, Ashaiman Member of Parliament, Ernest Norgbey called for a comprehensive probe by the Special Prosecutor to address what the caucus considers a potential corrupt practice.
“We cannot countenance this, and this is fraud. If this is not corruption, what else will be corruption? A photocopy to cost GH¢78 per paper, GH¢59.10 per paper, totalling GH¢68.5 million, what are we doing? And so, we in the Minority are taking strong exception to this, and we are saying that the Special Prosecutor must look into this matter.”
