Yes! this is the canker in the Ghana the Ghana Education Service, this what is done over there. The authorities of the Audit Service and the Serious Fraud Office should investigate every district office of the G.E.S and they will tell me of all the gargantuan looting there. Ghana is bleeding in the hands of these unscrupulous people who are using the pen to rob mother Ghana to the core.

here we go again with the theater of propaganda tricks making it appear they want to do the right thing by criticizing themselves , its all lies , dont fall for the hype .we respected the call for a truce after they came crying to us to give the pepeni some slack and stop calling him kwasea which he is and aboa which is also a known fact . when they saw we were quiet they went back to blaming the innocent for their own incompetence and lack of any plan or idea of how to move things forward which we already knew they would do . instead they rain the airwaves with their vomit and feces claiming that some petition was the cause of their non performance and their inability to recognize the Akans or better put the fantis supposedly gave them a third of the vote but not a single cabinet minister is a fanti. they rob the 800,000 Akan cocoa farmers of their money by not paying them the true value of their produce but less than half to keep them in poverty. they say they fight corruption but every pepeni is running around selling time with the president for 500 cedis to 5 million dollars . they have put so much fear in the civil servants with their bullying and bossing around that healthy decisions can no be made rather foolish ideas and wishful thinking are commonplace . everywhere you go Chinese , Indians , Turkish , Brazilians and Arabs led by the Lebanese raping our economy dry . the result being the Akans are now politically one although the gap between the fantis and ashantis is still there due to the mistrust and selfishness of some. the revolution or war to rid ourselves of this pepeni/ayigbe pestilence is around the corner so we work diligently to prepare , long live the republic of Akan

Because of these corruption actions by the above-named educational thieves, many Ghanaian kids do not have teachers to teach them. Why? Because, a ban has been placed on teacher recruitment to enable the GES do a head count of all teachers in our schools. This has created unemployment among potential teachers. This is very sad. I hope the GES would expedite action on the exercise to in order to remove the ban.

These three thieves should be shot dead. Their lives should not be spared. They are more deadly than armed robbers.

The Judge will be bribed and the case will be thrown out else, why should he grant them bail?

The counsel for the defendants will contact the Judge before the next sitting and the case will be dead by then.

Is it only Mahama who should check these things? We all have our duties to see to it that those thieves can't steal AGAIN! Habaa!!! Why this absolute impudence; without regard for these suffering teachers.

I am surprised at the comments on the case. While we insult and and curse John Mahama for every corrupt practice that come light whether it is with a civil servant or a village chief. How come we are not asking the authorities at GES to resign because someone from their outfit has embezled money. I personally dont wont attack anyone about corruption except the culprits, but it leaves much to be desired when we turn every issue into politics. We are allowing thieves to parrade our streets while innocent people are hammered. I think the 1983 style of chasing bursars must be brought back and we shall see what the hypocrates will say.

Totally agree, but isn't it a bit odd to see that after nearly 2 years of unpaid salaries, we now see a new picture forming of people being declared as guilty of embezzlement ?? Bursars have always been around and are accountable to heads plus the educational authorities. So, I smell something and it is not nice. On the other hand, that he is being accused of hiding 6.5 Billion in his account ? - it doesn't make sense. Lets see what comes out of this. They could be innocent until proven guilty.

The amount of money allocated to the Ministry of Education from which the entire GES nationwide got its share and out of which the Sunyani West District Education Office managed to get GH¢8.5 billion to be stolen, must be very very huge. From which budget did this come from?

All they do is to craete sensation to sell their papers. I have sworn never to buy any newspaper in Ghana particularly the private ones.

The district has no jurisdiction to try this case due to the amount involved and the possible sentence if they are convicted. They must be tried at the Circuit court.
