  Focus on reducing petrol cost it's why things are so expensive. It's how China's economy grew.
  Subsidise petrol to make it cost less, this will drive down prices and encourage alot and alot job creation for you to make your money back through taxation.
  It also strengthens the cedi against the dollar, inflation...so you don't need to artificially pump billions of dollars to create artificial strong cedi. Instead use it to subsidise petrol. Cedi will stabilise naturally.
  They focused on dollar and not petrol and wonder why economy never worked.
  You get 2 for 1 bargain..Ghana what are we doing struggling? lack of knowledge
  Only the wise can comprehend.

  These individuals could lose their jobs. I guess if the AG files case in court against them and request their employers to deduct the money it will be a warning to others.

  If the administrators at GIMPA or at a Ghana government agency with oversight authority on the types of scholarship awards referenced in the GIMPA story have not streamlined the scholarship scheme in the year 2010 going forward then the administrators at GIMPA or agencies of government with oversight authority must be held accountable and obligated to pay back said lost amounts.
  
  Sometime in 1984, while a postgraduate student at a foreign university, I run into a Finance/ Accounting MBA candidate from Cameroon who was on a government scholarship program from his country. Remember we're talking about the 1980's and the agency that administered scholarship for Cameroon knew at the start of each semester the number of graduate level courses /hours being taken by the student. The government agency was aware of hours successfully completed by the student and hours left to complete the course program; most of the masters level degrees at the time was 36 to 40 hours of graduate level course work approved by department advisors.
  
  The student from Cameroon received an equivalent of 5000 dollars from the government and an airplane ticket 4-weeks prior to his graduation to pay for the shipment of any acquired furnishings and equipment back home at government expense. At his send off party he showed his inner group of friends the government bungalow ready for his return. The government of Cameroon was and continues to be light years ahead of our Ghana where anyone with a collection of classroom earned credentials believes he or she is owed some deference when most of our intelligentsia class are nothing short of classroom educated folks but just as ignorant as circus elephants.
  
  Should administrators not have known the study program status? Should administrators not have known the exact semester of graduation? What type of warranty or guarantor documents are scholarship recipients obliged to sign prior to awards? What or who provided signatures for the warranty or bonded documents on scholarship schemes? Any entity in Ghana that fails due diligence while it disburses funds- private or public - without assurance of ROI is unfit to manage a dog kennel in my books.
  
  Any Ghanaian, alive and well, knows the level of moral compass of Ghana's educated and political class to know not to trust anything they offer as promise. I can only hope that administrators at GIMPA are principled and moralistic enough to resign from post for causing this much financial loss to the institution or government.

  They should be de-naturalised as Ghanaians and banned from returning to Ghana. They are unpatriotic Ghanaians.
