The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) is denying corruption allegations against it by one of its Deputy General Secretaries.<\/p>\n
The national executives have been accused of releasing about $400,000 to Unique Insurance Company.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”9JQRxUkv1FzzHXTNjQ3cMiI6znvRXCjT”]One of GNAT\u2019s directors in charge of Administration and Labour, Mr. Kwadwo Awotwe Nkansah, said there is massive corruption in the Association.<\/p>\n
Responding to the allegations at a press conference held today (Wednesday), the General Secretary of GNAT, Mawunyo Demenya said most of the allegations against the executives are issues that have been dealt with already.<\/p>\n
He cited the\u00a0\u201cI.K. Gyasi Committee of 2005 and the Apanga Committee of Enquiry of 2015 were both set up as a result of allegations of financial malfeasance Mr. Awotwe Nkansah leveled against some top officers of the Association.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr. Demenya argued the shortage in souvenirs was because \u201cthe supplier was shortchanged by the Chinese company which made him launch an investigation into the issue at his own cost\u201d.<\/p>\n
He therefore challenged their accuser, Mr. Awotwe Nkansah \u201cto provide evidence to support his claim\u201d.<\/p>\n
According to Mr. Demenya the association is of the opinion Mr. Awotwe Nkansah is coming out with \u201cunfounded\u201d allegations.<\/p>\n
They say his allegations are \u201ca strategy to fight his imminent retirement which is due on 26th<\/sup> March, 2016 and also his unsuccessful bid to become the General Secretary of GNAT\u201d<\/p>\n The Association, finally, assured its members and stakeholders that the robust system of GNAT will continue to prevent the corrupt practices as well as allegations of such activities.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Magdalene Teiko Larnyoh\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) is denying corruption allegations against it by one of its Deputy General Secretaries.
