PAC gives GES DG two-week ultimatum over GHC24k salary paid to a sick teacher
At a Public Accounts Committee hearing Wednesday, January 31, 2024, the Director General of the Ghana Education Service was given a two-week ultimatum to investigate and report back to the Committee on a matter of unearned salaries paid to a sick teacher.
Dr. Eric Nkansah is expected to explain to the PAC how a sum of GHC 24,000.00 was paid to the teacher who is said to be suffering from a spiritual disease.
Despite the inability of the said teacher to report to school due to sickness, he earned his salary according to reports.
The Director-General informed the Committee that the development was an unusual case which requires further probing and thus requested the leave of the Committee to investigate the matter further.
