EducationGhana | November 22 | TM 1 Laptops: The Ghana Standards Authority (GSA) has said that K.A Technologies Ghana Limited, the company resp[onsible for manufacturing Teachers Mate (TM) 1 Lap[tops for p[retsertusry teachers has not applied for Evaluation and Certification of the TM 1 Laptops before distribution.
GSA made this revelation to Two Teacher Unions, Innovative Teachers and All Teachers Alliance Ghana (ATAG) in a press conference on November 15, 2021.
”We wrote to GHANA STANDARDS AUTHORITY and asked whether the GHANA STANDARDS AUTHORITY has certified the TM1 laptops being distributed.”
”The GHANA STANDARDS AUTHORITY responded by saying that K.A TECHNOLOGIES GHANA LIMITED has not applied to GHANA STANDARD AUTHORITY for certification or quality evaluation of its laptops.”
”The laptops from K.A TECHNOLOGIES that were distributed to some teachers not long ago have started breaking down.” They said.
”How did K.A TECHNOLOGY get this contract to manufacture 280,000 laptops or 350,000 laptops at a time when its laptop has not been certified by Ghana Standards Authority?” They asked.
”The Ministry of Education–– has supervised the distribution of uncertified laptops to teachers contrary to the laws of Ghana.”
Shortage of Processors
The teacher unions said at a time when there is a shortage of processors for computers in the world as a result of electric cars and game computers where did this company get the processors in the laptops it has manufactured?
”Where will K. A TECHNOLOGIES get processors to manufacture the outstanding laptops given that processors are scarce on the market. How did a company with no track record in manufacturing and selling laptops consistently pay taxes that qualified the same to be granted tax clearance certificate from GRA to get this contract?” They asked.
