Yaw Osei Adutwum also recalled an incident where he was compelled to dismiss a white female teacher at one of his schools.

He explained that the chemistry teacher had a strong passion for horse riding and occasionally suffered falls during training sessions, which affected her performance at work.

The New Patriotic Party member said he found it difficult to believe he had terminated the contract of a white staff member, considering his humble beginnings in Jachie in the Ashanti Region.
