Member of for Parliament for Kumbungu, Ras Mubarak is blaming the Minister for Education, Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh for misusing the Ghanaian taxpayers’ money by spending over $370,000 to train 13 people in the United States of America.
According to Ras Mubarak the amount of money being used to train 13 people at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MI) in the US could have been done in Ghana at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA).
He made this remarks in an interview with Journalist on Thursday after he was dissatisfied with the Speaker Professor Mike Aaron Oquaye not allowing him to ask his further probing question on the floor.
But the Education Minister, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh in a response on the floor of Parliament justified the $370,000 expenditure, arguing the training was important for the National Service Scheme.
The Kumbungu legislator told ghanamps.com he would report the conduct of the Speaker to the leadership of the Minority as he was not allowed to ask his third question on the floor of the House which is the usual procedure.
