In a Facebook post, the Regional Minister stated that she received reports which indicated that the bursar of Ghanata SHS had been diverting portions of food provision intended to support student welfare and nutrition.
"Over the past few weeks, credible reports indicated that the bursar, Lamisi Sarah of Ghanata Senior High School, had allegedly been diverting portions of food supplies intended for students. These provisions are meant to support the welfare and proper nourishment of our wards. Any interference with such resources is a serious breach of trust and public duty."
Linda Akweley Ocloo said that the worrying complaint made her alert the constituency's National Security, so they could conduct a discreet investigation.
She explained that while she was in the constituency on Tuesday, February 17, the alleged diversion was confirmed, and Lamisi Sarah was apprehended.
"Upon receiving the complaints, I immediately alerted the constituency National Security apparatus to help me conduct a discreet investigation. Yesterday, while I was present in the constituency, I confirmed the activity and the suspect was apprehended in the act. I directed the officers to hand her over to the Police so that due process can take its full course under the law."
Linda Akweley Ocloo promised to pursue the matter thoroughly to ensure that anyone found guilty is punished.
"It is particularly unfortunate when individuals entrusted with responsibility engage in conduct that sabotages government efforts, only for the same system to be blamed for failures created by such misconduct."
"Even in my pain, I will continue to serve my country diligently, so if I am no more, I will be remembered for what I represent. I remain committed to ensuring that this matter is pursued thoroughly and transparently. Accountability will be upheld, and any person found culpable will face the full rigours of the law. The welfare of our students and the integrity of our public institutions must never be compromised," the Regional Minister concluded.
