The GETFund boss, Sam Garba must be getting ready to answer queries from President John Mills for usurping the powers of cabinet. That is according to Education Minister Lee Ocran who is also accusing the GETFund administrator for illegally awarding contracts and acting in violation of the GETFund Act. The Minister made these allegations in an interview with Joy News’ Evans Mensah. His comments follow what the GETFund administrator says is the continued ‘starvation’ of funds that ought to accrue to the GETFund. In a letter to the Finance Ministry, a copy of which was intercepted by Joy News, Sam Garbah said only 50 per cent of monies projected for the GETFund is paid into the GETFund account annually which is in gross violation of the GETFund Act. He said because of that, the GETFund was unable to pay contractors it appointed to undertake certain infrastructural development in schools across the country. The GETFund boss has subsequently rejected a budget brought from the Education Ministry for monies to be paid to the Scholarship Secretariat to allow for the payment of bursaries of some students. But the Education Ministry is unhappy with the conduct of Sam Garba. Lee Ocran said the GETFund boss has flagrantly breached rules of procedure by side-stepping its supervisory body which is the Education Ministry and going to the Ministry of Finance to express its concerns. He said the GETFund boss is only an administrator of the fund and has no authority to override decisions by Cabinet. “The GETFund administrator is not a Cabinet Minister. So when decisions are taken at Cabinet he is not privy of (them). Therefore if the Minister has written to the GETFund administrator certain monies should be paid into the account of the Scholarship Secretariat it means Cabinet has decided that some social intervention will have to be paid from the GETFund,” he said. He accused Sam Garba of not “complying with the law” by awarding contracts without recourse to the Education Ministry. “The Ministry determines where schools need to be built,” he stated. Lee Ocran said Sam Garba is “breaching the law” and must answer to the president.
