In a fascinating twist to the simmering feud between the GETFund and the Education Ministry, Joy News has intercepted several documents authored by the administrator claiming government was diverting GETFund monies. The documents detail a whopping 94 million cedis in unpaid claims. Mr. Sam Garba in a letter dated 24th February 2012 stated categorically that the fund will not release scholarships for selected students, defying the orders of the education ministry. In a 17 January 2012 letter to the Ministry of Finance, a copy of which was intercepted by Joy FM, the GETFund boss raised issues about monies which ought to be paid into the GETFund account but which were not. According to him, from 2009-2011, only ¢471 million have been paid into the account stating a total of 414 million more which ought to be paid into the account has not been done. “Only 50 per cent of the accruals have been paid into the account of the GETFund at the end of each fiscal year," Joy News’ Dzifa Bampoh quoted portions of the letter as saying. The GETFund boss said the rules which underpinned the establishment of GETFund are not being followed. Mr Garba said the Fund has issued promissory notes to the tune of ¢94 million for payment to contractors who were hired under the schools under trees project but has not been able to redeem the promise because only half of the money they are entitled to are paid into their account. The result he said has been the persistent threat of demonstration by the contractors. Mr Garba said because of the paucity of funds they are unable to pay for the scholarships of some selected students by the Education Ministry. But the Education Minister has dismissed the claims by the GETFund boss. Lee Ocran said Mr Garba failed to alert the supervisory ministry which is the Education Ministry of the challenges it is facing before proceeding to the Finance Ministry. He said the GETFund boss has no authority to question a directive by cabinet for monies to be paid into the scholarship scheme to facilitate the scholarship education of some students.
