Cost of Laptop a clear thievery cooked by Teacher Unions and executed by GES – Ekow Djan

EducationGhana, September 13, Teachers Laptop: The Deputy TEIN Coordinator of the Opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC)  Ekow Djan has said that the controversies surrounding the cost and quality of teachers’ laptop initiative demand answers from the three leading Teacher Unions and the Government.

According to him, the cost was clear thievery, cooked by the Unions and perfectly executed by the Ghana Education Service, Ministry of Education and the office of the Vice President.

”A laptop selling at $69 is being sold to Ghanaian teachers at GHS 1550 according to the Vice President and on another breadth, the President of NAGRAT, Mr Angel Agbe-Carbonu is saying the unit cost of the laptop is GHS 1831.47.” He argued.

”The Ghanaian teacher must only understand that the actual price of the laptop is GHS 414. The government will, however, deduct GHS 465 from teachers’ salaries— an excess of GHS 51 has been added.”

”This is nothing but robbery. Vice President Bawumia, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, Prof Kwesi Opoku-Amankwa and the Union leaders must be hauled before a bipartisan committee to answer questions.” He said.
