An Accra Fast Track High Court has adjourned to June 25, the ruling on a case involving the New Patriotic Party (NPP) youth activist; Richard Nyamah and the Finance Ministry.<\/p>\n
The plaintiff, Richard Nyamah, is asking the Ministry of Finance to pay all debts owed the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETfund) since 2013.<\/p>\n
He filed an Ex-parte motion praying the court to compel the Finance Ministry to defray its accumulated debt.<\/p>\n
According to him, since 2013, the Ministry has failed to pay the compulsory percentage of VAT returns into the GETFund accounts as required by law.<\/p>\n
The Attorney General\u2019s Department had earlier questioned the locus of Mr. Nyamah in the matter arguing that his motion be thrown out.<\/p>\n
In a related development, the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) has expressed their support for Mr. Nyamah in his suit against the government.<\/p>\n
In an interview with Citi News<\/strong>, the president of NUGS, Samuel Darkwa Bimfoh said they will explore all available means to compel the government pay GETFund.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n By: Efua Idan Osam\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana
