THE Chairman of the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund), Dr Kwabena Adjei, has expressed concern over the imbalance in the disbursement of the fund since its inception.
He is also worried that most of these projects were executed by unqualified contractors.
Dr Adjei who disclosed this at the first congregation of the Jasikan College of Education in the Volta Region, held for the 2007/2008 graduates, who were awarded diplomas by the University of Cape Coast noted that certain regions benefited more than others.
He noted that 96 projects were allocated to the University of Ghana, Legon, alone and most of these projects were shoddily executed, forcing the fund to spend more money in rehabilitating them.
The college has petitioned the GETFund to provide it with an assembly hall; it has thus been given an assurance that the request and others will be provided when the GETFund is able to put things right.
He assured the students that the government would do everything in its power to enhance teaching and learning in the college,
Dr Adjei advised them to stay with their books, since any misconduct on their part would mean their investment had been in vain.
The Member of Parliament for the area, who is also the Deputy Minister for Lands and Mineral Resources, Mr Henry Ford Kamel, expressed satisfaction that the chairman of the GETFund was around to give first-hand knowledge of what happened there.
