The Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced the interdiction of three officers from Tsito Senior High Technical School in the Volta Region.
According to the announcement, the decision aligns with Section 8, Clauses (i-v) of the GES Code of Conduct, which permits the interdiction of staff members who may impede ongoing investigations.
The officers affected by this action are Rev. Joy Kafui Akpebu, the Headmaster of Tsito Senior High Technical School; Sylvanus Awunyo, the Storekeeper; and Samuel Kwame Ampeh, the school’s Driver.
According to reports, the interdiction stems from an investigation into the alleged diversion of 100 cartons of tinned tomatoes meant for student meals. The GES has emphasized that this measure is a procedural step to ensure that the investigation can proceed without interference, highlighting its commitment to maintaining accountability and transparency within Ghana’s educational system.
The alleged diversion has raised concerns about the effective management of resources intended to support the welfare of students in public schools. Such incidents, if confirmed, undermine efforts to improve the quality of education and ensure the well-being of students across the country.
The GES has assured the public of a thorough and impartial investigation to uncover the facts and take appropriate actions based on the findings.
