Mr. Kofi. Actually with out of respect. I will recommend you to make a little bit of research on every fact you make in you comments before you go about ranting about what you don't know. It's different from how every country go about their administration. Russia, as the subject of this matter is a country that have completely different relations to foreigners. You talk about other students having the privilege to work. Well it's good news, that good for them. You really think if we had the same privileges here? We wouldn't work? You think if we were allowed to? We would not take the chance to do so? But rather stay in this cold and starve. I mean after all, who wouldn't like to work to stuck up some cash for himself. Not to even talk about the tight educational timetable and the weather. Pls, I suggest you know what you say next time. Thank you.

Mr. Kofi you might be very ignorant here about students and work. These are brilliant but poor students stranded in a country like Russia. In fact with all of your ignorance but just imagine the kind of hell they will be going through. You said work, even if they could do so it doesn't mean government should stop to pay them their stipends. These students study under a government scholarship and a contract is signed between the two. How if these students after completing their courses decide not to come back home in Ghana to return their services to the country. Just imagine, they will be sanctioned for tha. but here's the case government breaches the contract in not paying them their allowances. I really don't care about who wins the election. All I want is the right thing should be done

You speak in ignorance. I was in Benin in 2004 election year and same thing happened to us. Some students were sleeping on empty stomachs and some of us were privileged to intervene at the time though it wasn't much. It is something they always do in election years; neglecting students abroad. Some girls resulted to what you can think of to make ends meet. That's the glaring truth. Think about that.

Foolish report indeed! Please stop trying to divert from the point of this report. Whether they have coats or not is irrelevant. The fact is that these students have not been paid their stipend for 4 months. If you or your child were in their shoes, would you like it? For once, put your party colours aside and look at this from the perspective of a decent human being! These are suffering students. They have no papers to work. What do you want them to eat? Do they have fanmily there to support them? Please be decent and have some human empathy.

When you are being paid to endorse a meagre and underachieved government like mahama's, the money sways you away from reality. People like Corney have paid huge sums of taxpayer's monies so they lack empathy for others. Imagine yourself or a relative of yours in this situation, would this have still been your response? This umbrella government is a leaky one because of the massive corruption and ineptness, it needs total overhaul and repairs. Vote these selfish and greedy propagandists out. Ghana is in an abyss and a serious mess, we need to take our nation back before it's damaged beyond repairs. Vote these incompetent people out and lock them up!

You are really a heartless human being. It's true we don't need to buy winter coats every year, but what of the new students who arrived during a temperature of between negative 25 negetsive 32 degrees. Which winter coats are sold in Ghana to support such temperatures? Besides medical insurance need to be renewed, hostel fees need paid and all staff. If you are not in Siberia, please check the temperature for dates between 14th and 21st November now and compare it to where you are staying. Thank you

I think the reportage was sexed up to achieve the effect of making the govt unpopular. Students stipend not being paid timely is not new. It has been happening throughout the 4 th republic and perhaps the era preceding it. If govt stipends delays, it is the responsibility of their parents to send them money till they get paid. A parent who has no money should go for loan and when the child is paid they should reimburse their parents. I bet you a lot of these scholarship holders could be from homes capable at least of sending such money in times of need. The students are often made aware of this delay and are asked if they could manage and their answers are obvious that is why they are there. After some other parents are personally sponsoring their children in other countries.

Most of these students went there on their own. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Soviet and East European Scholaships to Ghanaian Students were cancelled but yet still, students who could afford to pay fees are admitted and many have taken advantage of that to undertake courses which they can otherwise not offer in Ghana because of lack of vacancy, Medicine especially. Most of them are able to pay the first year's fees thinking they can get Scholaships thereafter but become stranded. Those who are able to brave the storm and complete face another hurdle upon their return which is passing the Medical examination conducted by the Ghana Medical Council.Hitherto, this exam was non- existent.They just come in to do their Housemanship and posted. About the exam,most are not able to make it. Two troubles one God!

Then it is a back- door bilateral agreement. In the past, Soviet and East European Scholarships were published in the papers for Sixth Formers and those with the requisite qualification to apply. Those days, because of what was termed " Comsor",that is "SAT", " GRE" ,"TOEFL" for students to go to the US, and the fact the West waged a relentless war against Eastern Education and their products, most students frowned on these scholarships.They were later cancelled and those benefiting from their revival must suffer the consequences of not going through the proper channel.

The issue is not only Russia. Ghanaian students in most countries are facing the same situation. Some have not been paid for the past 6 months. Actually, the problem lies at doorstep of the Scholarship Secretariat where the 70 year old Director doesn't want to go. Whatever money is allocated to the Secretariat, Mr Lassa, the Director will send all to the Northern schools to the detriment of the rest. He even diverts some of the money for his personal interests building mansions all over the country including hotels.
Not until the Director is removed the situation is not likely to change. He has contacts at Flagstaff who gave him contract after his retirement. The problem will be compounded if NDC retains power.
It is a national crisis that we must all fight.

You are part of Africa's many problems ask me why? Because u got so much hatred and hypocrisy in you. You are here pretending to be one of those students and that stipends was paid in September. And your aim i can guess which definitely is to make people think this is politically motivated. May God put u on the right path. I don't blame u thou i blame the cheap China phone which gives u access to Tigo's cheap internet bundles. But one piece of advice; Concentrate on whatever u are doing and build your future rather than trying to pull others down. Thank You and have a nice day!

The gist of story should be taken with a grain of salt because it begins with a grammatical error. Secondly, this is a one-sided story without any input from the government's side. A complete story should have included a response from the government about the students being stranded for its failure to pay their stipends. The story has been placed in the public domain to create mischief.
