The Deputy Youth Organiser of the National Democratic Congress(NDC), Osman Abdulai Ayariga is encouraging the Office of the Special Prosecutor(OSP) to probe into the recent corruption scandal regarding the allocation of scholarships by the Scholarship Secretariat.
In a formal petition submitted to the OSP on April 9, Mr. Agariga stated that the investigation should be treated with urgency to ensure the proper allocation of scholarships to deserving Ghanaian students rather than individuals with political affiliations.
Describing the scandal revealed by the Fourth Estate as despicable misconduct under the leadership of the Scholarship Secretariat, he called on the OSP to fully investigate matters associated with the Registrar and the staff members of the secretariat.
“It has become necessary to petition your office due to the despicable magnitude of abuse the scholarship secretariat under the current leadership has exhibited.”
“I am therefore by this petition calling for a full-scale investigation into the activities of the Registrar and associated staff of the secretariat regarding the award of scholarships,” He stated.
