Srem Sai took everything including belt allowance.
Bunch of thieves. Yet to see a single NPP politician who's clean. Too much. Criminals
Which PhD takes 5 years?
Hmmm. In Ghana, it can take that long because of frustration and jealousy. I remember a Guy at UCC in the mid eighties who took more than five years for his Master's Degree but wasn't awarded it. He finally befriended a Peace ...

Yes some PhDs can be 6/7 years depending on some circumstances, five years is normal although the standard for most none technical PhDs are within 3/4 years.

If Okoe Boye's claims are true, then he needs to be celebrated, because it would mean he is just one of the few honest people left in the moribund NPP.
How evil can a group of people be?
Dr Boye is so far the only honest man in NPP.
He reminders me of Glades Asmoah, and Da Rocka.
Those were the days some of us loved to be called an NPP supporter.
I think he should join Alan's UP Party if he is to ...

So couldn't you have done your studies in Ghana instead of depriving needy students of this benefit?
We are just not serious as a nation. Government doesn't have much resources to cater for the needs of the nation. Meanwhile, she keeps adding more burdens than it can carry. Why free SHS when some parents are willing to pay f ...

What you're asking should be put to Sammy Okudzeto Ablakwa. He was trekking from Accra to UK every weekend ate expense of the tax payer.

Massa stop all scholarships in ghana
Just hear him. Nonsense. You could buy your own air ticket sleep in AirBnB but cannot pay for tuition? Thieves. Gbemelawo.
ORAL IS EXPOSING THE CHEATS IN SOCIETY
Oh! Dr. Okie Boye!!! Aren't you ashamed that they had to use state funds to sponsor your studies that also covered your wife and three children! What a vampire you are.
Are you daft, stupid, deaf or illiterate? Was the wife a beneficiary of the scholarship? Clearly, learning is not your thing. Is it?
Review all scholarships since the PNDC era till present , good job madam High Commissioner, May God bless you

Congratulations. It's because you know who you are and the consequences. You are a clever and genuine politician.
Ordinary citizens work their way through, obtain scholarships to fund their studies. A whole medical doc cum politician, couldn't you have done same? Must it come from the scholarship secretariat? Ama ghana dey bleed too much

This is greed, you were a minister and later CEO of NHIS and an MP yet you used state funds to finance your PhD. Greedy man.
Ghana is 69 years old, and the NDC has governed Ghana for approximately 35 years, while the NPP has governed for about 16 years. If these scholarship rules have been in place throughout this period, then NDC ministers, offici ...

Are scholarships designed for people like you? Why should the tax payer fund a politician like you who is already stealing government money to go sit in another country and study?
Shame on you! This is the reason you greedy bastards go into politics. These schorlaships are supposed to be for the needy. We dont care if you paid for whatever. Foolish Criminals
This people can easily speak like this but let us conduct investigation you will find him on the other side of telling liars.
We need serious reforms at the Scholarship Secretariat. The root of this problem is our politics. Corruption is so pervasive in our society. Any political party that comes to power puts their person there to give Scholarship ...

Oko what about if someone was taking what was due you but you refused to take. You know it's possible
Thats not true. No university pays ur fees unless u have a scholarship from them. My small boy Oko be truthful
NPP leaders were greedy and fools. Even promotions and appointments at NHIA were sold by Okoe Boye. NPP my own party will be punished in opposition for long time. No rational being will die for NPP again
I wonder how these politicians chose to treat ghanians like this! I saw them runing for their dear life cos we're tired of them,we'll chase them in parliament! That time will come!! SURELY!!!

So NPP only came to loot? Look at the caliber of people who enjoyed scholarship in their regime. Oko Boye too?
