GETFund challenges Auditor General’s report

The Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) is challenging claims of mismanagement and illegalities in the Auditor-General’s report.

  • GETFund has, in a 12-page response to the Auditor General, debunked many of the assertions in the report. It indicated, among other things, that the claim that the institution had discontinued scholarship funding to the Scholarship Secretariat since 2008 was false.

According to GETFund, it disbursed funds to the Scholarship Secretariat even in 2009.

“In 2009 and 2010, the Scholarship Secretariat submitted a schedule of fees and stipends due Ghanaian Students studying abroad for the GETFund to transfer same to the Ghanaian Missions abroad.
